Mariusz Wach

By John F. McKenna (McJack): Polish heavyweight hopeful Marius Wach (27-0, 15 KO’s) will receive the opportunity of a lifetime when he takes on WBA/IBF/WBO/IBO and The Ring heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (58-3, 51 KO’s). Wach will tangle with the dominant heavyweight champion on November 10 in Hamburg, Germany.

“Dr. Steelhammer” has not lost in 8 years and is presently on a 16 fight winning streak. 12 of those victories have come via the KO route. Under the tutelage of world class trainer Emanuel Stewart, Wladimir at the age of 36 only appears to be getting better. His skills have been refined out of necessity due to his fragile chin. After Klitschko’s 3rd KO loss he was advised by those closest to him to retire. Even his big brother Vitali suggested it was time for him to hang up the gloves.

While a lot of boxing fans and writers are dismissing the 32-year-old Wach’s chances of beating Wladimir you have to give him a good chance of winning the fight if he’s able to stun Wladimir with one of his big right hand shots.

Wach definitely has the power to end the fight with a single shot. He may not have the accuracy to get the job done quickly but if he lands his bombs he’ll win this fight. Although somewhat inexperienced, Wach has some respectable wins over the likes of Christian Hammer, Jason Gavern, Jonathan Haggler and Tye Fields. Those wins were quality victories for the 6’7 1/2″ Wach, as he showed off his power and proved to be a good finisher in those bouts. That’s perhaps the best thing about Wach’s game.

(Picture credit: Michael Freitag) By Jason Kim: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (58-3, 51 KO’s) is facing the biggest puncher in many years when he defends his titles against the big 6’7 1/2″ Mariusz Wach (27-0, 15 KO’s) on November 10th at the O2 World Arena, in Hamburg, Germany. Wladimir, 36, has faced some other big punchers in the last five years in Lamon Brewster, Samuel Peter and David Haye, but none of them have the right hand power that Wach has going for him.

If Wladimir is hit with one of Wach’s big shots on November 10th it’ll likely be lights out for Wladimir. Wach hits too hard and Wladimir’s chin is too fragile to be taking big shots from a puncher like Wach.

By Eric Thomas: IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (58-3, 51 KO’s) can’t afford to take chances against the hard hitting but primitive #14 WBA, #15 WBO contender Mariusz Wach (27-0, 15 KO’s) in this title defense for Wladimir on November 10th at the O2 World Arena, Altona, in Hamburg, Germany. Wach “The Viking”, isn’t anywhere close to being in the same class as the 6’6″ Wladimir in terms of talent and overall offensive weaponry and defensive skills. However, Wach has a powerful right hand and if he lands it flush, he’s capable of knocking anyone out in the division.
