    I wonder if Klitschko will win by KO?

    He'd better or we'll be forced to listen to the Hayemaker's rants.

    It's a sham contest. One of HW championship's worst!

    Much as I admire the Klitschko's for what they've achieved in boxing (Olympic gold, multiple world titles etc.) and as people, I find them boring to watch. Even when they're knocking guys out it's rarely thrilling in the way a ko usually is.

    This is a terrible match up. Mormeck has struggled to narrow decision victories over guys that aren't even fringe contenders (anymore) and he is granted a shot at the #1 guy as his reward. That might be okay if Mormeck was a young undefeated contender who maybe had some impressive physical talents, such as lighting quick speed/reflexes, power or just very tall with a great reach.

    But no, Mormeck's best days were at Cruiserweight where in fairness to him he was a fine champion. But that was some time ago and he was a Cruiserweight that was not helped by the change from 190 to 200 lbs, afterall he used to be a Light-Heavyweight. Considering his age aswell this is just a terrible fight.

    It's actually pointless, huge shocks do happen in boxing occasionally, just look at Sonny Boy Jaro ko-ing Pongsaklek Wonjongkam yesterday, but this is the type of fight where we'd all be better off if they just updated the two fighters records, KO win for Wlad, KO loss for Mormeck, and give them both a bit of cash. No need to see an old Mormeck unable to get close to Wlad, busted up and hurt by the jab and eventually mercilessly finished off when Wlad decides it's a good times to throw a few staight rights.

    If this goes past 2-3 rounds it's because that's what Wlad wanted to do, no other reason.

    Another sham opponent for the Klitschko's !

    No wonder HW boxing is dead at the moment !!

    There was more action in the Huck v Povetkin fight than all the Klitschko's fights put together !

    It's not the brother's fault that everyone else is ****. They take the sport seriously, are meticulously prepared for every fight. Then compare that against guys like Chisora coming in at about 500lbs against Tyson Fury, Solis was pretty hefty for the few seconds he fought, and the rest either ducking the brothers embarrassingly or just willing to take the beating for the money.

    It's not the Klitschko's that's the problem, it's heavyweight boxing.

    No one said it was their fault. But the fact that they are fighting poor fighters begs the question why they don't knock them out early.

    Instead they win 9 outta 10 rounds with the jab, about 2 right hands per round, then KO their opponents very unspectacularly very late on.

    The pre-card link is German but its decent. Sky stream should be on later.

    Shocking performance from Dallas. I'd be ashamed if I was him.

    What time is he due in the ring? 10ish?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 956 ✭✭✭RiseToTheTop


    The ring entrances could start around them, maybe bell ringing at 10.20-10.30.

    According to Sky the fight is on next. I've give it 10-15 mins for ring walks, most.

    Guys, just a heads up regarding streams. Was on earlier today looking for a soccer stream when I seen this.

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056565895

    Anyway, did not even know this was on tonight. These "handy" fights get a bit boring. Hope Klitschko turns it on a bit.
