On a scale of 1-10, Just how destructive is it? It's atomic, IMO. He sleeps people with it, and it isn't even his favoured punch. If Wlad used it more, it'd be the best evert at HW, IMO. Your thoughts on it?
A punch which he never throws, which is also atomic, is his uppercut. He hit Peter in their first fight with a cracking left uppercut that shook Peter to the soles of his feet. Wlad might be the most incomplete "complete" HW ever, if that makes sense? He never uses his full ****nal, but when he does, boy do you know about it!
Wladimir was much more impressive to watch when he was an offensive fighter. He unloaded on Mercer with the works, and boy, he could do it all. This protective shell he has gone into may be effective, but it hides what he can do when taking it to his opponent.
His left hook is awesome. He's great at leading with it as well. If I was fighting him, it's the punch I'd be most afraid of. He throws it so rarely that it's a surprise shot. You know his right will eventually come, but that lethal left hook can be launched fast and out of no where.
its pretty damn hard. trouble is choosing when to land it, with good reason, hes open to counters very easily when he does.
As I remember, he clinches everytime after throwing left hook, for what he gets criticized. While he has some flaws in defense, he never really takes return fire and is very responsible as for not being countered..
