Heavyweight Schedule for 2018

[Drunken Cat]

Wladimir Klitschko weighs in at 113 kg, Francesco Pianeta at 109 kg.

Not sure that there is any significance, but that is Klitchko's heaviest weight (249--he was the same wait for Tony Thompson 2 fights ago as well). But, mid-240s is normal for him, and I don't think there is any significance. If he was say north of 255, it could be worth raising an eyebrow, but I expect he is in great shape as usual.

Jameel McCline says the Wladimir Klitschko is an all-time great, on the level of Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, George Foreman or Mike Tyson.




Manuel Charr predicts Francesco Pianeta will beat Wladimir Klitschko.

Watched recent Chisora and K Johnson fights. Thanks for the links.

Johnson good defence as always. He got tired in the later rounds, but got the stoppage. He is comfortable with that rival but couldn't do much with Fury.

Chisora didn't show any bob-weave (didn't need that with such short rival, though), nor aggressive pressure. That were two keys for him. If he continues like that he won't be top 20. Maybe he is with medications (he was so crazy in recent fights, suspended by BBC etc.), maybe he isn't motivated with such rival.

Based on these fights Johnson is doing better (we shouldn't compare with just last fight, but just to show how they are doing recently). Maybe Chisora got hit too much with Vitali and Haye and/or medications made him differently, maybe it's his low motivation.

Klitschko vs. Pianeta will be telecast live and in HD on Orange Sport in Poland. There will be a legal ****** of the telecast on Facebook.

Do you have a direct link for the legal thing, thanks
