rehash Before the fight
Old relations is only in exceptional cases a good idea: Too painful memories, too hard a fresh start. But Wladimir Klitschko has had good experiences with it so – and so, like the love comeback with girlfriend Hayden Panettiere a little human being is created, is now also the new pilot bearing fruit as a boxer in the United States. Seven years ago, Klitschko last boxed in the States – at that time they had driven him with boos from the Madison Square Garden, in spite point victory against Sultan Ibragimov -. But his fighting style was just too unspectacular
Klitschko returns back with the knowledge that he is now a bit more needs to offer – not only in the ring. A show icon is no longer out of it, but Dr. Steel Hammer makes a few jokes already with: On Instagram he posted a video in which he his opponent in advance adopted the nickname “By By”: At the piano he strums “Hit the Road Jack “, accompanied by sounds that are quite scary. Especially for music teachers.
That they currently play only a minor role in the Boxmekka know Klitschko and his opponent Bryant Jennings, of course, on May 2, finally climbing the “hundred year struggle” between welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Paquiao – to attract more attention than those two is currently impossible. So Klitschko and Jennings gave the great sayings knocking advance as far as possible. “He’s a bit old,” Jennings said of the Ukrainians. The short snorted.
Comparison of the Boxer
Has Bryant Jennings swallowed a camel? In his arms could easily hide a so shapely they shall come. In any case, the arms: Seven centimeters they are longer than those of Klitschko, perhaps Jennings single physical advantage. Although the 30-year-old is extremely athletic, therefore, is but also almost a Lightweight: When weighing 102.9 kg, he brought nearly seven kilograms less than the balance of the Ukrainians. And once again, the number seven: seven inches shorter is the man from Philadelphia as Klitschko. . It will be interesting to the seventh round
Eleven years Klitschko has now been undefeated, twice as long as his opponent ever professional boxing: Bryant Jennings tried at the high school as a football player, basketball players, sprinters and putters – in 2010, he played his first professional fight. Until last year, he was hired full-time as a janitor at a bank in Philadelphia. The extent to him his expertise will help when it comes to water pipe break in the ring, remains to be seen. So far he has after all won each of his fights – 19 fights Jennings has denied. . Klitschko 66
In addition to the ring
A Klitschko fight without Shannon Briggs is by now how Hanni without Nanni, as Helene Fischer without, like Twitter without Tweets: unthinkable. The aging warhorse appeared at press conferences and also accosted during the weighing. Of course, against Klitschko, which he calls a struggle for years, but also against Deontay Wilder. That holds the WBC belt, the Klitschko would also like – in the near future it may become a unification fight. Guaranteed with Briggs in the audience.
In addition to the ring RTL has picked Bruce Willis just before the start, which is somewhat lethargic before Florian König. “I came here to see Wladi. He’s a tough racket, I’m always here when he fights, we’ve known each other a long time. He will knock the guy.” That he was not for the Americans Jennings, Ebel surprise. “Oh, so it’s not,” replied Willis. Then scurries Klitschko-girl-friend Panettiere over. “I have a lot of confidence in him,” the actress says of her boxers and is gone again. Thomas Gottschalk also has done it again before the cameras shortly before the publication of his biography. “I sit fully on Klitschko,” says the Goldilocks. What Klitschko had to do to defeat Jennings? “If possible, beat the other whacked.” Good thing we are experts.
invasion of the Boxer
Bryant Jennings has a cloak that auftrumpft with purple accents. To titled “Glory” from the film Selma, he sneaks into the hall, quite gracefully – but not too scary. The ring arrived, he just throws his hands in his short height. Then Wladimir Klitschko-time. His song selection is as reliable as the reappearance of celebrities just before the release of their biography. To “Can not stop” by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers runs without Sperenzien in the ring – and the hall whistles at him. After all Panettiere dancing a bit for him. If only not much.
Presentation by the ring announcer
Michael Buffer is ready, as always. He rewinds down the biography of Jennings, who keeps a straight face. Dr. Steel Hammer can be introduced again. As buffer shapely draws its name in the length, after all, he kisses his glove. The right way. Let’s see what he so today hires
Round 1
Jennings makes Whichever one has fetched him here. He moves extremely quickly through the ring and tries to Stubsern in Klitschko’s chest. Klitschko makes the same, which has awarded him the past years: He keeps Jennings with the lead hand from the body, a few chair he sends over, but the Americans ducks persistently
Round 2
<. p> Up and down, up and down: Jennings ducks and stretches as if he had an extra dose you missed intravenous caffeine just before the fight. Attacks but can not get around it. Klitschko deals the first left-right combination, the double covering of Jennings is not exactly a bastion. Jennings also affect the rights forward fast, but the arm is simply too short. That should be positive here actually. Strange.
Round 3
We see something like a Infight, but Klitschko’s a monkey clip of the first hour. It follows a dance with Jennings direction ropes, then there is again a bit of body contact. Klitschko stretched the lead hand from Jennings holds the cover above
Round 4
“Keep on boxing “says Jonathan Banks to Klitschko, but then jumps to the Ukrainians in Jennings. Unchecked, however, so he must put himself right then blows the first time. Against the head, against the body, Klitschko’s jab really just have to let go. The jab draws just always. Jennings rights in lands Empty
Round 5
Between courage and madness are sometimes nuances. Jennings throws himself been partially negligent in Klitschko, but then can not score. Now is mainly clamped, his cover invites Klitschko’s left a quasi. The caffeine seems to be easing, Jennings legs weaken
Round 6
If he were a bull, Jennings had already Klitschko hurt a little can. He always has his head in the direction of the body Ukrainian. But even here include only his fists. Klitschko is trying to fill the gaps auszugucken, Jennings may end up times with his fist at head height. It is the first offensive slugfest, but only for a few Sekündchen
Round 7
Jennings acts rehabilitated, which also has noticed Klitschko -. However, he can not do much right now. His left arm he pushes through the air, but Jennings is wide awake. He backs it skillfully, even dares a few Tippelschritte. Only once penetrates Klitschko by noticeable. Jennings reaction. Shrug
Round 8
Jennings can now get a hit, it shares a left hook. But then he is too static again. Finding the gap in its coverage, is no match for the world championship: Klitschko dashing through the fists directly in Jennings face. But this is apparently accustomed beats
Round 9
Klitschko beats, Jennings ducks. Even so boxes can look. Then something happens rare in the ring: Klitschko conceded a slap in the face and took the first cut in the face felt since 200 years. But he also balanced in Jennings face, which looks quite painful.
Round 10
If the Americans run out of steam? The referee claims to have seen an indecent oneself on Klitschko and cautioned the Ukrainians, there are penalized. Then he hands out a right hook a also suggests a left. Jennings takes the arms down, messing around – but Klitschko has not feel like to cut. How long it can be the shenanigans of Americans still like it? . For a knockout well, not much time
Round 11 remains
Sign throw forward and then duck – Jennings maintains its strategy. Meeting, he of course does hardly anything. After all, he has gone Klitschko a bit tired. But from condition weakness is probably not a boxer fallen. Klitschko may then take a right to the finish, he Jennings in the corner. But beating volleys follow none.
Round 12
His final energy Jennings wants to get rid of here, he attacked Klitschko in the near distance. Klitschko then discovered his fists again, but it can destabilize the Americans only at the end a little. Jennings is world champion in Duck, he survives the battle without ground contact. Was not many like that. The gong comes, the two embrace. . Even more rare
After the fight
Large voltage is not in the air, Michael Buffer announced the decision: Klitschko retains world heavyweight champion. All the enthusiasm is restrained, Klitschko is actually after a fight a little bit drawn. Smile? Can he barely. His return to America, he has probably differently. “He’s a tough competitor, he has quick hands and good footwork,” he says into the microphone hall, “that was a big challenge. The he will be the next opponent for sure.” Also Jennings must get rid of a few words, he looks as if it came straight from the facelift – no trace of a 12-round bout against Klitschko. “It was hard to see him,” said Jennings, “I did not come right to the head.” He proudly stands in the ranks of his followers, Klitschko increases without enthusiasm on the ropes and rewinds the jubilation ritual in recent years from – but with a depressed expression. So downcast saw a winner rarely
“It was enough – but not for an impressive victory.” Klitschko is contrite about. He knows that “It could have been more exciting moments.” The spectacle that just want the Americans, he has not delivered. Whether he will come back if they want to see him again? “I fight very happy here,” said Klitschko, “and I am pleased to have been here.” Complicated times.
