Help Wlad fight inside...

Exactly... not natural yet. But as you see with every fight he is using it more.:good

Thank you I think he is great ambassador also.:good

 

Wlad will clinch before he throws the uppercut on the inside. Fighting on the inside could a dangerous avenue for Wlad to take, because from the distance he keeps most of oppenents at, he can see the punches coming in. Especially when guys like Iggy and Chagaev are throwing them one at a time and looping, to the point where Wlad could easily counter them or simply just move out of the way. If he fights a guy like Arreola on the inside he would be making a big mistake, I could see it being Buster/Holyfield all over again.

Wlad wont change, he's going to continue doing what has worked for him for the last 4 or 5 years. He may be putting fans to sleep, but at the end of the day he's still going home with the W.

 

In every training camp:good

 

I think you hit the nail on the head, why do it?

 

Good to know:good I have to admit I was very proud that he threw it at all. Maybe not the most natural punch for him but it was something new that he tried against a dangerous opponent and if it works for him, he'll be ****ing unstoppable

 

I agree :good

 

Wlad should not throw uppercuts on the inside, especially since he's not comfortable enough yet to throw it and god forbid he gets into a war on the inside with a puncher, he's as good as dead.

Wlad should stick to the plan Manny laid out for him, which is jab, jab, jab, straight right, clinch. He needs to keep a distance with his oppenent at all costs, thats the best way to remain safe from danger and most effective game plan to get the win.

 

The thread title is great, it sounds like a starving children telethon or something.

Bottom line, expecting a 6'7 fighter with an excellent jab and right hand to become an inside wizard isn't fair. He would be devastating with an uppercut though, imagine the leverage he could generate with that wingspan.

 

Toney. :rofl

Sh*t, I'd throw down PPV money to see those sessions on tape.

 

:good

I also think he would not lose to Sanders at this point. Wlad has become a complete fighter at this point.

 

What I mean by it is Wlad is not 100% comfortable with the inside work and Uppercut punches YET. Thats why you dont see much of it even though he is working hard to improve it. Thats what I ment by the 50% will kill you. Wlad will make sure he is 100% READY before he uses something new so that he is ready for anything that comes from doing something new

 

I don't. I think he's worse if he even tries fighting on the inside. It leaves him suscepitble to the KO. If he gets too much courage to try fighting inside, he's more likely to lose than if he just grabs like he does now.
