Alex Leapai vs. Wladimir Klitschko

[The Hammer]

Does Leapai have a chance of winning?


Good undercard for this event:



Marcelo Luiz Nascimento vs. age 22 Joseph Parker

Olympic Gold medal winner Oleksandr Usyk vs. Ben Nsafoah

Robert Tlatlik vs. Bihes Barakat (both good young fighters)

Roman Belaev (talented prospect) vs. Fouad El Massoudi

He has a puncher's chance, but really Wlad should dispatch him in 2-3 rounds.

As for Parker, he looks like a promising fighter. Looking forward to seeing him against Williams.

Puncher's chance & probably another boring fight where Klitschko has no real reason to take unnecessary risks against an inferior opponent.

Leapai: lunge and miss by a mile
Wlad: step back and jab

Love how Klitlickers have to try and sell Wlads fight with undercards... Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess because we all know the main event will be a snooze fest

I don't wanna watch it either but I don't blame Klitschko or the "Klitlickers". It's not like they're ducking anyone.

HWs have simply gotten too large to be aesthetically appealing. A 6'6" 250 pound man with the physique of a welterweight effortlessly breaking everyone's will to live with a few jabs is extremely impressive but not very exciting.

[bojangles1987]

I'm hesitant to say no chance with any HW matchup, but it's about as close to a no-hope fight as is possible. Leapai is nowhere close to good enough for Wlad, and will have to land that one in a million KO shot. Even stunning Wlad or knocking him down wouldn't be enough, Wlad cannot be able to recover from whatever Leapai lands. He has to put Wlad out cold.

[Weltschmerz]

I expect a clear KO by Wlad during the early to mid rounds. Anything else will be a bit of a let down.

what more CAN wlad prove at this point? nobody can give him a run for his money, even in his later stage

[J-champ]

This is such a mismatch the 12 to 0 vote is generous.

He can extend his run, beat records. There are good and dangerous opponents for him out there. Wlad has plenty of fights that can enhance his resume further and cement his ATG status.
