Klitschko has a weak body as well

In the 1st Brewster fight Wlad powered out just after Brewster hit him with a couple of big body shots in the beginning of the 4th round, Brewster also peppered him a few times in the first 2 rounds.

In the Brock fight Wlad was also getting hurt to the body and was losing the fight until the KO punch.

Klitschko's body is maybe an even bigger weakness than his chin, what furthers this problem is that he's so tall that it makes it impossible to protect both at the same time. If Brewster attacks the body in the first 2 rounds, say 50 body punches, Wlad will need a respirator to make it out for the 3rd.

He is massively talanted but the flaws are there. Its a shame really but props to him for picking himself after a disasterous spell starting with the Saunders bout.

I think he will have his hands full with the improving Peters although I think that James Toney rematch probably made a Peters a little better than he is as Toney is on the sliiiiddddddeeee baby.

There is no way Wlad was losing the fight with Brock until the KO punch.....

Anyway, in their first fight Brewster did get Wlad with a couple of big shots to the body, and that could be part of the reason he gassed. The main factor in Klitschko gassing is generally accepted as the fact he chose to burn himself out by throwing an uncharacteristically high number of punches early in the fight. I tend to agree with that.

I agree that his body is weak but...... big punchers never go for the stomach. They are always headhunters.

Wlad will pound the hell outta Lamon again, and he'll have to keep beating Lamon until he gives . If at any point Wlad gets poisoned with a huge hook, Lamon takes his head and belt home.

all wlad has to do is keep boxing, he hits so hard that if he uses the strategy against peter he'll stop lamon within 10. brewster has a disturbing habit of taking long stretches of time off, not throwing much, and to beat the klits you have to throw punches, if they get comfortable and aren't worried about the other guy punching them they're a tough out. either way it will be great to watch, unless wlad overwhelms him like he did austin.

Boxers with flaws make for the more exciting fights.

I think Wlad has improved a lot since he last fought Brewster

exactly. thats what makes wlad one of the top ten most exciting boxers around today. outstanding phsyical skills mixed with questionable intangibles. wlad-brewster will be an outsanding matchup as they both have vulnurabilities that can be exposed. brewster will come forward and will eat punches but wlad will probably have to do the same as well.

How long have you been watching boxing? Brock was winning? Klits body is maybe a bigger weakness? How many times has Klits been KO'd with a body shot, and how many times to the chin? 50 body punches? Do you realize the beating his face would take if he threw 50 body punches in the first 2 rounds?
