KLITSCHKO: 247 LBS.
WACH: 251 LBS.
Prediction: Wach is by no means an all-time great or even a very proven fighter, but this fight can do a lot for Wladimir’s legacy. This is the first time he’ll be fighting a guy with physical advantages over him in height, reach and possibly physical strength (Wach stands 6’7 1/2 with an 82 inch reach compared to Klitschko’s 6’6, 81 inch frame). Nonetheless, the skill level is very much in Wladimir’s favor, and I believe he’ll be able to outbox Wach with his excellent jab and that sledgehammer right hand. Wach will give Wladimir a few perilous moments when he backs him up, but Wladimir is a master clincher and will hold at any sign of danger. I see Klitschko slowly breaking down his larger foe and scoring a stoppage by the eighth round.
