Who? Never heard of them. I thought Lennox Lewis was champ.

This fight has been BORING! These two russians are tacticians, not brawlers.

See ya

Yup a disappointment for the first unification in so many years.... They actually fought in what 3-4 rounds, atleast the replay fight from last week was good.

You got that right. BORING!! But I think the fault is Klitschkos, his huge body and technique are not going to lead to many exciting fights. That and his fear of getting tired keep him from mixing it up. Whenever he has an opponent that he can just keep at the end of his jab its going to be a sleeper of a fight. Which is most of the time.

Watched the first couple rounds, and had to change the channel. BORING!

I thought it was a very smart fight on the part of klitschko... hes brother is still a great fighter!!

Would have been nice to see a few punches thrown. The special on Joe Louis was the BOMB!!

 

[TNGTony]

That special made the night for me! I didn't become a boxing fan until the mid to late 70's so Louis was way out of the picture by then and like the average new-comer to a sport, "history" began the moment I started caring for the sport. Now as an older fan, I find these historical looks at past greats to be fabulous!

See ya
