    By his criteria he posted Wlad schooled Iggy since punch stats and action don't matter. Iggy was a counter puncher and a Southpaw. Size is irrelevant I guess Mike Tyson and Jack Dempsey should have just stayed back and counter punched because they were shorter right? :rofl:patsch

    I enjoy the Rigo and Wlad styles, but Wlad is more entertaining. Wlad is much more active and generally you know how it will end.

    he was hit plenty of times and even knocked down. What we saw last night was a miniature version of Wlad vs Iggy wish I could say Haye vs Valuev but there were fewer punches thrown in that one so it isn't fair to Rigo to use that comparison :good

    Its a very simple question, I'd expect nothing less from you.

    Honestly, I've never been able to pay attention all the way through Wlad-Iggy & wont ever attempt to watch it again.

    If you want to call that fight a schooling to make your butthurt a little less then go ahead but the two fights don't belong in the same sentence for a plethora of reasons which are obvious to anyone without a pea-sized head & a brain to match :thumbsup

    Damn Rico, you aint half boring. It doesn't surprise me that Wlad - Iggy is such a frequent point of reference for you.

    You should watch more boxing.

    Damn. I've never seen a chinchecker so butthurt after getting one of their predictions wrong. You think they'd be used to it now.

    I like when people say Wlad has a low skill level.

    Lets me know who is actually a boxing fan.

    RigoD's skills makes Wladmir's skills look like Max Baer.

    I am willing to admit:

    Wlad vs Iggy was boring

    Wlad vs Haye was boring

    What we got last night was boring and it isn't only people on here saying it it was the fans booing for most the fight and the writers that covered it. Not sure why people on here get so bent out of shape over this. It didn't live up to expectations. So what? Rigo won but it was far from a 'schooling'. Parts of it were cringe worthy.

    They all can't be Gatti-Ward you know. I burn ever fight to DVD and this fight is going in the 'never to watch again' stack with the previous mentioned fights :good

    I have over 3,000 fights on DVD so I have seen plenty of Boxing.

    Nah.

    Fighter A gets knocked down/hurt therefore he has a glass jaw, predict he loses by KO in every fight, rinse & repeat.

    Occasionally & by law of averages they get one right.
