    You still don't understand what I mean by style. I am not talking about shot selection and whose better drilled at throwing shots. Wlad doesn't have great footwork, he uses his height, to lean away from punches by shorter opponants! Where are all these hooks and uppercuts you are talking about??? he uses as much hooks and uppercuts as Audley does! It's jab jab jab, hold jab jab jab right. You making Wlad out to be Mayweather lol.

    You cannot deny, the similarities.

    Physical attributes similar
    Predominant use of the jab than any other shot
    Cautious and cagey fighting style
    Both have been and can be knocked out cold
    Both carry 1 punch power

    Try telling me that BOTH fighters do not share these traits? You just pissed off I am comparing Audley to your boy Wlad? hehe.

    ive seen some ******ed comments, but this is beyond delusional...

    audley has been stopped once, by michael sprott...from a MAMMOTH right hand, the rest of his losses were lazy points losses...

    wlad has been stopped 3 times. end of. :patsch

    I've agreed and disagreed w/Zakman in the past. Maybe AH and Wlads jaws are of similar grade, who knows.
    But you've conveniently left out the fact that Wlad has faught much tougher competition than Harrison :patsch not even close.

    This.

    And I think the original post overstates Harrison's power.

    Both clinch a lot and hold out the lead hand to avoid getting hit.

    lets not kid ourselves. whilst as an english boxing fan, it will be good to watch a live heavyweght title fight, this fight is nothng more than a low risk/high reward fight.

    i hope harrison starches him.
