    Nothing to do with his age in my opinion.

    I'm sure that any version of Wlad from the last 7/8 years would have given us the same performance.

    He wouldn't let his hands go against a HW with no real power. It's psychological. Those knockouts defeats have scarred him so much. He's far too cautious. He's a safety first fighter who won't engage. I don't think people realise what a huge role someone's mindset plays in the outcome of a fight.

    Tonight's loss was nothing to do with reflexes and timing etc. It was all mental. It was a lack of will. A more confident version of Wladimir would have beaten Tyson tonight.
