Round by Round: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Tony Thompson

Dariusz is such a shameless Klitschko hater....which is so hard to understand, considering his loves. My best guess is that Wlad didn't sign a glove for him in Grabaschveld Arena when he was kickin' it with his fifty women.

 

:: I hate klitschko but he would knock out Manoso Torres 97 times out of 100

 

No, it´s because he´s fake, totally and utterly fake. No personality, no nothing, just blah. No opinion on nothing. Boring to watch and I keep losing money, because I overestimate the scrubs he fights. :flip::flip:

 

yeah... ElT got him all figured out. you can't fool him with his objective perception on the man! :nono:

 

Come on, he's closer to Manny Steward on a personal level than any of his other fighters. ::

 

If you think he's capable of that, so be it, but he's not like Sanders at all stylistically so he's going to have to come up with someway different of doing it.

 

from my phone sir

 

From the beach?

 

Yes, duh. He´ll do it with the right, instead of the left. artie:

Okay, but it's easier landing that straight left on Klitschko than a right.

Haye's more similar to Brewster than Sanders and I doubt he could stand up to half of what Brewster did in their first fight.

 

Haye couldn't even stand up to a flush shot from Lolenga Mock. Mock put Haye on his ass and had him almost gone. Haye better land REALLY quick to beat Wlad. opcorn:

 

Okay i'm a defender of brewsters worthyness as an opponent in the rematch even. But if u think Haye is more similar to Brewster u must see things differently.

Just being right handed isn't enough. Haye is WAAAAAAY faster than Brewster with his hands and might be able to land far earlier. Seeing today's Wlad he should land far earlier.

His defense is also much better given his reflexes. It's not world class as several examples show but Wlad won't put on pressure like Mock or Mormeck.


He needs to avoid all incoming though before he lands on Wlad and if he can't he will get KTFO.

 

Brewster took a pounding in the first fight. We'll see how much faster Haye is carrying the heavier weight...I don't think he looked all that much faster at the 217 he was against Bonin...we'll see how active he is at a much higher weight and how good his stamina is.

I don't think much of Haye's defense, he certainly doesn't hold his left up that much and I think he'd make quite an inviting target for Klitschko's jab and right hand.

 

You took that out of a fight that lasted 60 seconds, 30 of which Bonin spent on the ground?

 

What am I supposed to take it out of, a fight at cruiserweight?

I don't think he's that much faster at a heavyweight than Lamon Brewster.

 

I'm not saying i agree with Mitchell but 60 seconds fights in which the other guy spends 30 seconds on the canvas is prolly the fastest u will ever see a guy... ::

 

Heavyweight boxing. :atu:

 

Another brilliantly handled Joe Cortez fight.

Wlad belongs in the same basket as Ricky Hatton and John Ruiz.

Wlad probably grabs, clinches and holds worse then anybody. What's worse is he doesn't just hold, he also tries to drive the guy across the ring while he's doing it. It seems to be his way of insuring the other guy is more worn out then him by the last half of the fight.

I know Manny is trying to teach him the Lennox Lewis method, but Lennox was 1000 times more subtle and skilled about doing it. Lennox could also box from the outside for extended periods. It wasn't his automatic nature to just grab a guy every time he threw a punch on the inside.

I will root for his demise.

 

People hate on Klit but a win is a win. He did what he had to do against Thompson. The stoppage was whack and bullshit but it still counts as a "W". I'll Holla 5000

 

How was it whack and bullshit. Thompson was not fina at the ten count... :dunno:



@ nobleart - I'd supose u guys go pop in some more Ruiz tapes. Wlad doesn't hold that much... :notallthere:

 

Wlad needs to be taught how to block and counter, stop fuckin' clinching, and throw some combo's inbetween the jabs. I also wish he would lead with his left hook more,..

 

I felt that it was a good fight for Wlad. The first half wasn't the prettiest, but thats because of the awkward style of Thompson. What I was impressed with was Wlads decision to go for it in the 11th. He was bashed for not pulling the trigger against Iggy and didn't want it to happen again. In the beginning of the 11th WLad was obviously fighting more agressively and seemed to want the KO. Props to him for digging deep. I also think he has greatly improved his stamina issues. Even though he was becoming tired, h epaced himself and was able to put together a llate round rally when it mattered.

And for the stoppage being bullshit.....the dude was barely to his wobbly legs at 9.5, seen the same stoppage thousands of times.

 

I agree with this assessment. He needs to learn how to throw combos a little more, and needs to throw counters a little better on the fly.

 

Extremely horrible shit fight, Wlad hasn't fought nobodies who's a threat to him in a long time and is becoming one of boxing boringest fighter. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ruiz would tire him out and knock him out unless he runs inton something huge.

 

What I meant was that Thompson was bullshit for the way he went out. He was hit way harder earlier in the fight. He gave up and quit if you ask me. That's why I said the stoppage was bullshit. He never even tried to win the fight. Where was the right hook he was landing against Quinn. He never threw the damn punch. Like I said it was a good win for Clit but Thompson had no business in their if he wasn't gonna try and win. I'll Holla 5000

 

It did sorta look like he was trying to use his arm as a pillow as he went down.::

 

Wlad is a more talented version of Ruiz. Sad thing is he's actually capable of fighting better then that but Steward has morphed him into the kind of fighter he is to protect his chin. :shit:

 

Wlad used to throw combos. No more. :shit:

 

Wlad was fighting more aggressively because Thompson was favoring his leg after getting tackled and driven across the ring over and over again throughout the fight.

Thompson opened up a bit because he was getting frustrated and his corner was getting on him..................that's when Wlad opened up. Not some deep seeded need to "go for it".

:shit:
