Wladimir Klitschko vs Henry Akinwande

The expectation is that Akinwande stands no against the boxing ability and the power of a prime Wladimir Klitschko. Klitschko in theory should handle the octopus zero difficulty and end this in 5 rounds

But if this were to actually happen this would probably be a jab/clinchfest and Klitschko would probably be bothered by Akinwandes taller height and longer reach. Also since Klitschko doesn't press the issue against taller fighters like Lewis it will be a snooze fest, especially when Akinwande eventually feels that power and fights to survive

Klitschko decision or late KO

 

I have to agree with @MarkusFlorez99 here.
Been a Wlad Klitschko fan for years, but unless Manny Steward would have been able to wake Wlad up, this would have been a huge stinker UD.

 

Klitschko by brutal KTFO

Akinwande had not enough skills, nor power to keep Wlad bothered. He always fought like a scarred rabbit - not only in Lewis' fight. The same was against Shulz from whom he run like crazy for 24 rounds in their 2 fights. He was like Morrade Hakkar of heavyweight division.

Young Wlad would KO Akinwande early, prime Wlad vs Henry would most likely end by late KO win for Klitachko, but the fight would be impossible to watch

 

Wladimir absolutely destroys Akinwande, Akinwande does not have the tools to stop Wladimir...

 

The question is whether Wladimir knocks him out or goes for a snoozer UD, right?

 

This would have to be held in an open air stadium to let the stank out.

 

I'll go with the consensus. Wlad does his technical jabfest for about six or seven rounds, puts in a bit of an effort to close the show in rounds 8-9. He probably would. But if Akinwande is still around after that Wlad will coast the last few rounds for a UD.

 

I don’t think Akinwande would have been able to handle Wlad’s power and would either quit in between rounds or get knocked out.

 

Will it be a right cross a straight right or a left hook knockout?

 

Wlad by ko 9. Akiwande not in the same league skillwise. It may be a hugfest but eventually Klitschko gets him.

 

Lol Lennox Lewis couldn't KO Akinwande and there was no way Wladimir would do it either. Young Wlad would gas out and be stopped. Slightly older Wlad would win a boring decision.

 

Yet Ross Purrity stopped Wlad.

 

Pretty sure Lewis would have KO'd him if he didn't get disqualified first. Very unlikely Henry would have lasted the full 12.

 

22-years-old way pre prime Wlad, mind it. And Puritty had granite chin, while Henry had papire-mache chin (see how McCall knocked him out COLD with a single punch) - that was the reason why he always fought like a scared rabbit even against non-punchers like Axel Shculz
