Why did Wladimer wait until after the press conf to pull out?

Why would any decent heavyweight avoid Chirosa? WK was throwing him a bone by giving his undeserving ass a fight to begin with.

 

Keep living in your own little world, don't let the facts sway you.

 

People give Fury a pass because most people with half a brain realize that were they put in the same position they would probably have done the same thing (i.e. faced with a top 10 heavy that was 100% completely different then the guy they had spent 3 months training for, plus having their uncle - and former trainer - rushed to the ICU with a stroke on the night of the fight).

I frankly don't blame him for that. The situation is different.

With Wlad you have pictures in the media of him from a couple of days ago looking a little fat around the waist and comparing that to pictures from 2 months ago when he actually looked in better shape....I think most people can read between the lines on this one....but in case you can't let me break it down for you:

- Wlad is a new dad and hasn't been training for this fight the way he was supposed to.
- He showed up to the press conference and saw how good of shape Fury is in.
- Wlad says to himself, "#$^% I need to start taking this a little bit more seriously. Think I need a bit more time to prepare.".
- So he went to the doctor and got the fight cancelled based on some pre-existing injury that probably wasn't really slowing him down all that much...its just an excuse to post-pone the fight.

 

1) Cause styles make fights.
2) Cause sometimes even top athletes have bad training camps...and if he's had a stinker why take the risk.
3) Cause if your smart and you've been watching boxing you know that the K-Bros had been playing a slight of hand game with boxing fans for years....Wlad fought the technical boxers while Vitali fought the brawlers...you saw how an in-shape prime, 26 year old, chisora gave Vitali a pretty hard night's work right?
4) Just look at the facts....who pulls out of a fight 3 days before because of an abdominal muscle tear unless they think they are going to lose? Honestly, 3 days before a fight how did he tear the muscle? During a light workout? Walking from the press conference to his hotel room? Have you ever even heard of that before?
