Wlad vs Mormeck

[NazNaci1]

Too good and to be honest, I'd rather watch someone as dominant as them rather some unskilled, poorly conditioned American or Euro HW's play, 'pass the belts around'. It's up to the rest to improve or whatever, not show up for a payday and wait for these guys to retire.

If we look at the rest of the 'contenders' or 'prospects', they are joke, they really are. Ugh!! The thought that a Mansoor (yes I know he is incarcerated atm), Arreola, Chisora, Fury or a Helenius holding these belts is appalling. At least Wlad and Vitali are genuinely better than these, um, contenders.

[milpool]

What can you say though? Wlad was in a no win situation really. Not the greatest fight or even the greatest performance but he did the job and that's that.
Who's next?

[Final round]

Why make a fornicating fight like that? To fleece the punters. Utter dogshit.

[Manc_Red]

Like Man United playing Halifax.....


The Heavy-Weight division is in such disarray, fights like that tonight don't do the Sport we love any good what so ever.

[whiskey]

Ola Ofalabi saved the night for me.

Top to bottom, every fight tonight was dog droppings.

Indeed bit like Cleverly fight last week. Thing with Wlad I struggling to find challengers for him. Povetkin does not want to know. Arreola maybe. Dimentrko maybe.

Mcdonnel would been in good fight shame Bouzaine dropped out. Skelton v Dallas was entertaining brawl.

Dallas was fornicating terrible, doesn't he know how to catch a punch on his gloves or arms.

Wlad fighting Mormeck was a complete waste of time... Who cares if Wlad is better than everyone else, Mormeck never stood a chance and was a pathetic choice of opponent! Mormeck had his day a few years back at Crusier and was never capable of causing any kind of upset.

Granted there aint much choice right now but Mormeck? C'mon!

Just touching on Dallas vs Skelton; Dallas was dreadful and got what he deserved against the relentless Skelton.

[stujones]

mismatch absolutely, but at least it was some new meat. I really don't want to see Thompson, Arreola or Rahman get another shot.

There is nobody really out there, but I would rather see someone new have a shot....than the likes of Tony Thompson or Arreola have a go.

Ustinov won on the card, dire match with Wlad - but not much else out there. Dimetrenko might be a half decent fight.

[Ally-M1]

I think I'd pass out if Hasim Rahman got another shot!!

[stujones]

I think I'd pass out if Hasim Rahman got another shot!!

Best call the paramedics now, it won't be Wlad buts its going to be Povetkin vs Rahman.

There on there way...

Dimetrenko got Pulev next winner of that has a good chance of fighting Wlad.

Not the Klit's fault but nearly every HW they fight never seem to be bothered to try. Only Sanders and Chisora in the last few years have actually turned up to win and that was against Vitali who ain't timid.

I'd add nipples to that but you're basically right.

[loaded_gloves]

At least we finally got an answer to the question of 'just how weak does an opponent have to be to draw Wladimir Klitschko out of his shell & make him fight with some aggression?' The answer being so weak he doesn't throw any punches, falls down from every shot that connects, and generally fights with a look of abject terror in his eyes. Mormeck was one of the worst, most inept title challengers I have ever seen. The French man would have been cannon fodder for Tommy Morrison and Bruce Seldon. Frans Botha would have beaten him up.

Yet despite all that, look how Wlad spent the whole first round holding on for dear life, simply because a 40 year old man was very slowly bobbing & weaving at him without throwing punches! Imagine if that were a 21 year old Mike Tyson zipping in and swinging nukes? Wladimir might actually shat his pants in the ring. He'd fall down in pure terror ala Brewster rd 5.

[Asterix]

If the Klitschkos are so boring and their opponents have no hope why do you guys watch them fight?

I've stopped watching them fight, unless they fight someone I find interesting enough.

[Syntax Error]

That was a glorified sparring session.

There isn't one single person to challenge Wladimir right now.

The only person who could give him a fight is Vitali, but they'll never fight, plus, rigor-mortis is setting in for Vitali & he is now almost as slow as an arthritic slug.

Who's next?

Good question & does anyone really care?

Mormeck, who didn't even deserve to be in the arena as a spectator, let alone as an opponent only got a shot because there was no-one else around.

Mark my words, it would not surprise me if one of the K2s offers David Price or Tyson Fury a shot, even though neither are nowhere near ready for a shot.

The point is Syntax.... Who IS ready for a shot? Who would have taken the fight?

[Cas]

Problem is the guys that are tipped to give Wlad something to think about/even stand a chance against him are all still green fighters. Fury, Price, Wilder, Mitchell aren't ready for K2 yet, and won't be for a while yet.

Wlad should fight Arreola next.

[Cas]

Wlad adapts to each fight.
The only guy that does have a true chance is Haye in a rematch ( I almost hate saying that but true)!

Haye had his chance though. He could have done the business if he'd been more aggressive on the night, instead he chose to play chess.

I think Solis has a shot at Wlad, but I haven't heard of his situation since Vitali.

[stujones]

Unfortunately I do agree with a large number of posts here - I do feel bad though considering Mormeck's effort as one of the worst in heavyweight history and giving him the dubious pleasure of saying he would be beaten, easily, by a prime Frans Botha - Mormeck was a fine, fine Cruiserweight champion and its horrible for one fight to tarnish his legacy as a fighting man.

What has Solis done to suggest he'd have a shot at Wladimir?

Wladimir would just jab the tub of lard that is Solis into oblivion, right up until another one of his ligaments pops through gross obesity.
