Maybe it's just a hope, but I think Vitali is going to step up and make the Klitschko name mean something again.

I think it's safe to assume that this fight is not going to go the distance. One or the other will be knocked out. Vitali has a stronger chin than Wlad, and he will come into the fight prepared. Should Vitali be able to weather an early onslaught by Sanders, he should be able to recover and get the KO victory, much like Hasim Rahman did.

Klichko will probably win but I won't mind taking Sanders at +270.

Not a racial question but is Corrie Sanders White?

Sanders At +270 is a pretty good money maker

Sanders has NO chance. Take it to the bank. A year off, he's 38, Vitali is on a role, Sanders is going to sleep Saturday.

Right just like Brewster had no chance. You sound like a real bright guy.

Brewster exposed something we've already got to see. Vitali has a good chin and is much more sure of himself than Wlad. He's the best heavyweight in the world now. Sanders has been ko'd twice. We will see Saturday.

I'm not saying he won't win. I just think it's kind of short changing Sanders and giving Vitali too much credit being so emphatic about it.

i agree with beukes! vitali is getting to much respect for beating up lewis who has been beatin up before(rahman) and who has vitali been in the ring with this year just a 400 pound newfie(kirk johnson). which proves nothing mesi would have beating johnson down that night.

Now... we all thought Corrie Sanders had no chance when he fought Vitali's brother. A no-name old guy who was probably going to retire after getting knocked out. He comes out like a man with nothing to lose and drops Wlad, pretty much the first nail in the coffin of his career.

Even as an older guy, Corrie Sanders still packs a punch, and is a southpaw, which might give Vitali some problems (Wladimir didn't seem prepared to fight a southpaw and wasn't seeing the lefts from Sanders). Vitali only has a one inch reach advantage despite being 3 inches taller. Sanders hasn't fought in over a year. A lot of factors. If you've got money to burn, though, put it on Sanders. He'll be the underdog for sure.

Corrie Sanders is gonna hit Vitali with so many lefts , he'll be beggin for a right! You see the power Sanders has? Hes gonna go through the other brother exactly the same , Vitali will be forced into a slugfest and he will go down, MARK MY WORDS, SANDERS 4TH ROUND KO.
