Anyone hoping Wlad wins since the passing of Manny?. Obviously he had a great deal of respect for Manny plus he was a friend to him. I don't like Wlad personally but tonight i kinda want him to win for Manny. Normally i'd want the underdog to win, but tonight i find myself thinking of Manny and hoping Wlad performs the way Mr.Steward would of wanted. Wlad Manny wants a KO, Get that mother****er out of there!!!.
Yep. I love Wladimir. He is the perfect role model for Boxing and he is one helluva smart man. Wlad looked pissed off at the weigh-ins, as well. Wlad by KO within 5-7.
I agree. Top, top man. Brilliant fighter. He'll not get the respect he deserves until he's long gone, and the division is a huge steaming pile of turd.
Wlad is a class act and it'll be interesting to see him with a bigger guy. Hoping Wlad wins for Manny, and to show that he can continue to dominate without the trainer who moulded him into the best heavyweight in the world.
I hope that it's a close fight and that Wach can at least ask a few questions but I have a feeling Wlad will take him out early.
:deal This. The guy is a class act. People may not like the Klitschko's because of the way they fight, but in my opinion they are two of the greatest ambassadors in the sports history. I'm proud to have them as representatives of the sport, other sports would be lucky to have such role models.
I like Wlad and it would be fitting to see him dedicate a convincing win to Manny. That said it would be great too if Wach pulled off a massive upset. Win-Win and it's on ESPN too. :good
It would be a bit **** if one his fighters lost so soon after Manny passed on. I dont think from what Ive seen of Wach which admittedly isnt much that Wlad has much to worry about here though. I think he can get an early KO tonight.
I hope Wlad remains unbeaten for the rest of his career.... which hopefully continues as long as possible. Realistically there's no reason why he can't carry on for another decade, there's nobody out there anywhere near capable of challenging him.
I do agree that from what I've heard they are real buggers to deal with. However, rather them than the likes of Don King or Bob Arum!
Cant see him hanging around that long but you are probably right,there isnt anyone who looks likely to cause him any problems. He proved against Peter that these days even if he does get hurt he can ride it out. The only way he loses is through complacency,I dont mean in training as he is a supreme athlete and always in bang on shape. Just where he thinks for a bit that nobody can bother him and does something a bit slack defense wise.
