Fortunately wlad had never had to face a stylist like that again. How many southpaw counter punching superheavyweights have their been in history? it shall forever remain an anomalous result in boxing history.
Wlad improved with Emanuel Steward in his corner. With Emanuel Steward Wlad would have won the rematch. No footwork in this fight, Wlad did not use his height, nothing! This was the result of Fritz Sdunek training. Nothing else.
It was a result of underestimating his opponent and not training adequately. This came from Wladimir himself, so quit trying to spread your hate nutjob.
Sdunek ruined Wlad, that´s the facts. He has good footwork until 1999, again against Mercer (he works with Tommy Brooks. Sdunek was the trainer and his coaching was bad, very bad. The corner work a desaster. But this man never said; I was responsable too. No word. Emanuel Steward´s funeral was not over and he wants the corner from Wlad back. This shows his real character. But is did not work. Wlad did not want to work with Sdunek again because Wlad leanrs from his mistakes. With Sdunek Wladimir would never be the No. 1 Heavyweight. Wlad learned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how to protect himself, when he is in trouble. Sdunek does not teach these things to his fighters. Watch Dimitrenko vs. Chambers, same helpless like Wlad against Sanders. Emanuel Steward helps Wlad and improved him as a fighter. This are facts.
Those are facts. But STB was stating facts as well. Wladimir walked right into Sanders left hand. It wasn't the result of poor training, but rather poor judgment underestimating the power and handspeed of Sanders.:nono
It was the result of poor traing! The left hook was very bad to begin the fight against a southpaw. This is bad training!! Nothing else. If Wlad was not well prepared, the trainer had to cancel the fight!!!! And not let this happen. Poor corner work and very very bad training. Wlad did not have any good footwork or use his height against Sanders. The Wlad of today can not be compared with the Wlad from this fight.
MVC is just an anti K bro troll that can't deal with the look of the current HW champs - and most contenders He's brought out some of the anti non US, anti white bigots that populate ESB. I think it's funny that they have their panties all bunched up because they can't identify w/the current HW scene :| Know what's even more hilarious - it won't change anytime soon :yep
