The last time we saw Wladimir Klitschko in the ring last November he pulverized previously unbeaten Kubrat Pulev with a series of left hooks. Pulev knew those dynamite left hooks were coming and yet, was unable to do anything about it.

Klitschko landed the left hook early in the fight to score a first-round knockdown and when Pulev got up, Klitschko calmly walked over and dropped him with another left hook.

Klitschko hurt Pulev again in the third round with the left hook and finished him off with a devstating left hook whch nearly separated Pulev’s head from his shoulders. Pulev went down and had no chance of getting up.

Jennings is a smart, technical fighter who will look to gain an edge on the inside. It is likely that if Jennings feels one of those monsterous left hooks from Klitschko then he will cease taking risks against the taller and more powerful Ukranianan giant.

This will allow Klitschko to control the fight and do what he does best, which is to wear his opponent down until he can land the big right hand cleanly. This brings us to the second key to victory.
