Wlad unifies! Great domination in there. Anyone who can't appreciate a domination like that is watching the wrong sport. It isn't as if Wlad has to knock out every fighter that he faces. Sultan made it extremely difficult, leaning back, down and away so far... Wlad had to be on top of him to land anything other than the jab. Wlad was smart about it... didn't have to give up his advantages and DOMINATED! Great win, we now have a Unified Champion!
Well.. When you throw two jabs and hold on for dear life, any plumber can pull it off. Just ask John Ruiz. :good
wlad is still scared shitless of getting nailed. :yep lennox lewis could come out of retirement now and pay that guy. :hey
Considering that Manny Steward stole that strategy directly from ole Johnny boy I'd say that's a fair assessment. :smoke
I love to see people who claim to be boxing fans, act like complete morons after fights like this. These are the same guys who would talk about Larry Holmes being an amazing fighter, and all time great... yet obviously they haven't seen him fight because just about every one of his fights was like that.
In this fight I hardly saw any versatility from Wlad, I didn't know why he didn't double pump with that jab. He just kept pawning with the jab throughout the entire fight, but on rare occasions tried to knock Ibraigmov out.
Tis true, neither fighter deserves to get paid. If they are the best the the hw division is truly screwed. Hell Byrd got KTFO but at least he tried to get to Wladimir.
