3. Fight the Taller Man’s Fight

When fighters have had success against Wladimir Klitschko it’s because they were not afraid to get inside and mix it up with him in attempt to test his jaw. As the taller and much more powerful man, it is in Klitschko’s best interest to not let this happen. If Klitschko stands his ground and works diligently behind the jab, not allowing Jennings to get off, it should be another feather in the cap for the 39-year-old champion.
Klitschko has proven he can roughhouse with other fighters as he did with Alexander Povetkin when he flung him around the ring and pushed him into the ropes several times.
In his fight against David Haye in 2011 Klitschko lost a point in the seventh round for excessive pushing. Haye did much of the trash talking in the months leading up to that fight, but once it was time to step inside the ring it was Klitschko who was behaving like the bully.
