Wlad vs. Bowe would be a back & forth war early but Wlad would do what Golota should've done, and KO Bowe by the 10th round.
Mismatch. That defense---was there any--of Gonzalez does nothing against against the straight punching of Wladimir. And the guys that held the spitbucket for Jorge would earn their pay by hoisting the guy off the canvas and back to his corner. Like mentioned earlier, this goes like the Wolfgramm fight, especially if it is the Sdunek trained aggressive Wlad in there that will start testing Gonzalez 20 seconds into the fight. Vitali bombs the guy out early as well. I can't see the defense of Jorge holding up well and there is no bag of tricks he can turn to. Conditioning? I'd be surprised if he could last 4 rounds against the brothers added up.
Wlad is certainly not one of my favorite H2H heavies, Left, but I think we can do a lot better than this for him, if I'm to be honest.
Gonzalez wasnt as bad as most people are making him out to be. Most people remember his fights after Bowe. He was completely shattered mentally by his loss to Bowe. Bowe beat him very badly and after that he seemed to just give up in every fight he had. Granted he never faced a stellar competition before facing Bowe, but he did have a good amatuer career. Gonzalez trained himself in a weight lifting gym after the olympics, and never developed as a pro fighter, but he had some decent boxing skills.
I never said anything about him being bad, but the highlighted really is the summation of this guy you're pitting against Wladimir, which I find...puzzling. I think this one is a foregone conclusion. :conf
