Wlad is a...

he has a phd. yet he chooses to be a HW BOXER because he is scared to get hit...

thats like saying a ufc fighter is afraid of getting into a fight....

 

It isn't going to win "fight of the year", but it was a very interesting fight to watch, IMO. Thompson made it competitive for a bit, Klitschko overcame his style, and knocked him out. Can't ask for much more than that. Thompson is a hard guy to look good against, and be effective against. He is being underrated, and that is what leads to all of this.

 

ahaha. clearly, his style is one of caution. he understands his limitations and fights accordingly...i dont see anything wrong with. he does have 5kos in his last 6 fights, but i can understand watching his fights for a neutral fan can be uninspiring. he's doesn't have the animal mentality of a Tyson or his brother Vitali, instead he is a technician who happens to have ko power in both hands.

I must say i was impressed with Tony's chin and Winky high-guard defense. Wasn't impressed with his handspeeed though

Who do you think can give Wlad a tough fight?

 

90% KO in his career there is nothing u can say that makes him a dull fighter.....

do u think KO"S are boring

 

i dont know why wlad is getting so much love tonight when he really fought a mandatory instead of someone of significance..yes he won...yes by ko....so what!

 

yeah and also keep in mind, wlad's last 2 opponents have been awkward southpaws. Povetkin is very conventional and asking to be hit.

:yep

people just dont like his style from the opening bell up until the ko. He is a very cautious and calculating boxer. He doesn't fight on instinct all that much and people want to see fireworks....just the way it is. i can understand that but not the childish hate

i thought they came in with a bad gameplan for thompson

 

He most certainly is, and for good reason. We all have seen him implode, panic, excessively clinch, and fall numerous times after taking good flush shots from good punching Heavys before, the man doesnt have that toughness guys like Holyfield and Ali had, to prevail when the going got tough and fight back when hurt, I really do believe thats why most people dislike Wlad, and wont ever consider him a true Heavyweight great.

 

YES I DID... it was exciting to see wlad throw a lead right so much.. wlad got caught with a couple of shots and if you've seen wlads fights u know ANY ROUND he can be ko'd or ko his opponent

 

Did I say boring? That was someone else.

I find it exciting to watch a 6'6 behemoth panic and hug his opponent like he's a little girl.
