    If that's how I sounded...

    Yeah it was same old Wlad, but eze seemed to think there would be some tentativeness. I guess I tried to emphasize on there being none too much. I thought he threw and landed more per round than most of his recent fights, though, wouldn't you say?

    OK sure...

    I would say that winning every one minute segment of the whole fight would qualify as "beating the dog **** out of" somebody.

    Vlad Vs. Wach was a complete mismatch. Vitali caught Wach's glove with stuffing out of it, Also Wach was on roids, etc., Wach was bigger. Would you rather see Vlad Vs. Wilder? Tell HBO you want to see that one. Vlad is a gold medalist, superheavyweight division, Vitali has the highest KO percentage in heavyweight history, and Vlad is close. How did Vlad win the gold medal if he can't fight? Steward said he was talented since Vlad was an amateur. Let Vlad fight SOB Ward, easy knockout, but Ward is supposed to be the best fighter in the world and can beat everyone in any division. Spinks came up from light heavy and beat Holmes, etc., so Ward can do the same. Vitali and Vlad are the best fighters in the world today, they can beat anyone in any weight division. Vlad Vs. Mayweather? If Mayweather is the best, they why can't he beat Vitali and Vlad? His fans claim he can, so why not demand that fight from HBO?! Mayweather has no chance Vs. Klitschkos, yet his fans claim he can knock them out easily. Ward has no chance either, Broner has no chance, what I mean is that the Klitschkos can beat them all, no matter what weight division. Why will Ward only fight in his home town, with his personal referee and judges? Wouldn't do him any good against Klitschkos. No, they best fighters living today are the Klitschkos. Hell, Vlad made a fool out of Wilder in sparring for the Wach fight, no competition at all. There have been some rumors about Vlad Vs. Wilder, but Wilder won't fight anyone in the top 100! The best fighter in the world is the one who beats them all, in any weight division. Vlad won the gold medal in the superheavyweight division, so you can't claim he can't beat big guys......................Let's see Void, Broner, Ward, etc, even beat Wach?!

    Where are the guys who said Wlad was 'banned from HBO' after Ibragimov?

    Look at some of the boring mismatches on HBO. Vitali Vs. Arreola was the top rated fight of the year for HBO, yet they still refused to show him. It is a bias and it has been for years.

    Jennings would get just as badly outclassed by Wlad as Adamek did by Vitali

    this is a very sad era of HW's, where the Champ has to run around ask the contenders to fight him at their convinience, and the only one's willing to take the fight are top 20 at best

    Wlads last fight vs wach was quite enjoyable. He was aggressive and landed some monstrous blows. He also got nailed in the 5th but cam back strong. He looked the best I've seem him in a while.

    Jennings only had a handful of amateur fights before he turned pro, this fight is far too soon.

    Jennings is also a very friendly stylistic match-up for Wlad, who struggles against power & pressure, not speed & movement.

    K2 are the greediest promoters in boxing & have to accept some of the blame for contenders being reluctant to fight them, especially as a voluntary challenger.

    If K2 offered better deals we would get better fights.

    Are you joking.:tired Everyone else is heads and shoulders BELOW Wlad and Vitali in the HW Division. They get the best deals of their careers to fight them. Come on, show me I'm wrong.:deal

    ^That's a recent article in a German newspaper which got hold of a K2 contract.

    To summarise, if you beat Wlad you then fight Vitali, if you beat Vitali you have to fight Wlad again. If you beat Wlad again your next fight will also be promoted by K2. If you do not comply with every contracted detail you will subject to an enormous fine.

    That doesnt sound like the best deal of anyone's career, it sounds like a slave contract.

    Why would any promising fighter with decent backing sign a deal like that? Especially if they can potentially become a mandatory challenger in the future & get a fair deal from K2.

    K2 can do better than the likes of Charr, Mormeck & Wach.
