I used to like Wlad, pre-Stewart Now, he is Hugy bear... he makes John Ruiz look like Floyd! I cannot stand his new style. Deontay Wilder would put him on a stretcher.. Worst than Sanders. Vitali is the man still! Now, that's what you call a bad-mofo!!! However, Wlad Koala Bear.. he needs to get KO'd.
the refs are biased when he fights. he should be disqualified. he looked vulnerable a couple of times when pulev went on the attack with his right hand. i could see a faster fighter giving him problems
I don't understand why people bring this up now, he was relatively mild last fight with the hugging, just seems strange to bring this up after a fight in which there wasn't much hugging.
****** level on boxing knowledge when you picked a joke like Wilder to beat Wlad. atsch let him grow ***** and fight a top 50 guy first before mentioning wlads name :-(
Wlad does'nt hug much in a lot of fights, and sometimes the hugging is only as a direct result of his opponents tactics eg povetkin rushing in with his head low its brought up as its the only thing left to discredit his victories
Why the personal attack Iceman? If you disagree with me, ok. you are entitled. Just because a person hasn't fought a top 50 guy, that does not imply he cannot knock Wlad into Bolivia (ala Tyson)
Mr General, Yes, Wlad indeed hugs alot. As soon as his opponent charges him.. bam.. a hug... not a counter, nor a jab.. but, a hug. I got so frustrated with him.. I want the Wlad that fought Jefferson and Shufford ...
he didn't hug excessivly in this fight also if you have ever boxed someone a lot shorter than you that continously rushes in with there head low, you wil realise that you have to tie him up a lot of the time
Didn't you sport an avatar with a klischko pic in it when you were still using the moniker Tekno SDS. I probably shouldnt be replying as this is a wind up thread, just wanted to say "come back to the good side, son".
Nah, this time it wasn't a hug fest the way the povetkin fight had been, it was a pretty entertaining match even, I thought, with a lot of action. With tall heavy men like these you ll always have a bit of clinching when they collide, Lewis matches were full of hugging I believe to remember. What can be said Wlad should be using his jab much more often, seems he doesn't focus on his jab to keep the man at bey quite as much as in the past.
Like I said, Rob Gronkowski is the Man to do the job! Are you a fan of the NFL, bc your Detroit Lions are doing very well this year. But I'd like to see Dominick Sue get his ass kicked one day. Or what the hell ever the bum's name is...
