In this instance, Wlad is actually backing up before that shot lands. He's very good at that. It's effective against shorter fghters. Helps take a lot off a punch. Often times, they miss completely.
Wlad learned to avoid punches or to react well. This is a part of defence he learned with Emanuel Steward. But Wlad can take good shots. If Haye comes in shape like he was against Wlad, Chisora has no chance. Haye is too fast for Chisora.
That move will have him eating the ****ing canvas against Prime Lewis Prime Tyson or even Prime Bowe. These ****** are too small and too weak and too pathetic to hurt robo Wlad in this current HW Divsion
Wtf are you on about. That's a terrible example. 1. Wlad is moving backwards 2. The punch lands in the middle of his face, nowhere near the chin. 3. Haye is out of balance, thus not being able to employ full power 4. Haye punching very much upwards, reducing power 5. Haye barely even connects with the punch. Wlad gets hit at the very last portion of the punch, there is hardly any power left when it finally hits Wlad on the nose. 6. Wlads huge nose is absorbing all the remaining power.
I hate Haye but that was not a fixed fight. He hit A Force hard. The fact that it took 3 rounds to beat a guy who was 35 and without skill is the bad part.
I'd throw Francesco Pianeta's name in there too. He's 6'5" and 240 and I really like his shell defense. His style reminds me a bit of Arthur Abrahams, in that he stay in the shell and then chooses his opportunity to pop out and explode on his opponent.
Arreola appears to be the only one willing to face him next. If Povetkin or Fury change their minds, then they are better options.
Could see Fury taking the fight 2013. Povetkin postpones as long as possible. Arreola and Fury next to next would be ok.
