You enjoy watching him fight? Do you actually look forward to his fights? I have nothing against Wlad personally. I just can't stand this guy and his 100% safe style.
I love great boxers. Vlad was boxing 101 tonight!!!!!!! He was truly awesome. He will go down in Boxing Hall Of Fame.
Yeah. He has ridiculous work ethic and unparalleled speed and footwork for a man of his size. I find it hard to believe a lot of the Mayweather fans who hate Wlad can find nothing to appreciate about his style. Wlad is just as untouchable, if not more so at this point in his career, and he also has great power.
The 01-03 version of Wlad was, but then he got his glass chin shattered by Sanders, and has been bounced off the canvas several times after that. Wlad is hardly a "Punisher", just a ultra cautious, very skilled fighter who is the best of one the worst Heavyweight divisions of the last 50 years or so. When a medicore fighter like Chagaev is the 3rd best heavyweight in the world, you know theres a problem.
When a fighter as good as Chagaev, who could have beaten any American heavyweight of the last several years, looks that mediocre, you know there's no problem at all--just an extremely dominant champion who makes everyone look like ****.
Chagaev would of lost to Chambers tonite, Chambers is an all around better boxer who would do a complete paint job on the disease ridden Chagaev. Chagaev is not good anymore, did you see his last two fights before fighting Wlad? He's clearly not the 3rd best Heavyweight in the world, he proved that yesterday when he fought like a complete novice. It looked like he was trying to lose, with all the mistakes he made in that fight.
You can see the frustration of the biased haters. They get so angry when Vlad looks so good. Vlad is fantastic. Why do you think Emanuel Steward wanted to train him?
farmboxer you got me all wrong, i think wlad is a good person, and a good humantarian, and he and his brother do great work for charity in ukraine, and should be recognized for being champs.....but there competition is lousy...
Steward trained Wlad because he knew if he could just work on his defense and devise a style that could protect his achilles heel, which is his very weak chin, he knew he could make Wlad a dominant champ. Wlad's got all physical skills to be great, it's his lack of toughness when things get rough is what he gets made fun of about the most. His famous panic attacks or the fact he's been dropped more times than a drunk girls pants at Mardi Gras is what people will remember.
Great post, very true, Germans want to see a fight, not a round, but many rounds, an as a wlad fan, i like a Austin 2 round blow out, but also like a well boxed late round TKO, it is more exciting to watch,,,i wish the ref would of gave it one more round, cause wlad was moving in for the kill, an that is always great to watch, like the last rounds of the brock, byrd, an thompson fights, he set them up, an you could tell he was going to finish them off, i got the same feeling in the 9th............Most feared man in boxing,,,
No you love WHITE boxers but you only bash black ones...Your so full of ****. If you liked great boxers then you would like them no matter the color. BTW Wlad isnt a GREAT boxer, he is a tall fighter that throws nothing but jabs, takes no chance of making a fight exciting.
No killer instinct? Then how do you explain Vlad's destruction of Ray Austin and Calvin Brock? Vlad takes complete control of his opponents by using his jab and cross intelligently. He lets the knockouts come naturally. It would stupid of Vlad to mess with his own winning formula.
