I used to like Wlad when he fought balls out. Now, not so much. I would be sHOCKED if that happened but I cannot entertain the thought. Not gonna happen.
I don't think Wladimir is as prone to an early K.O as people think. His biggest issue in the past was his stamina, he sets the pace these days, Rahman does not.. therefore, Rahman gets knocked out badly without any realistic chance to win. Wladimir wins... with ease.
Vlad cannot take good punches. That we know, but if he fights a safety first fight and fights behind his jab he probably wins. Although Rahman knocking him out in any round would not surprise me at all. That just means Rahman connected. I would be more surprised if Rahman hit Vlad over and over and Vlad took it without wobbling or going down. After Rahman's showing with Toney a few months ago, I don't have much hope for Rahman winning, but Vlad's chin could make it possible. Not because Rahman deserve to be champ he doesn't. I would have rather seen Toney fighting Vlad this weekend.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, nor should people with glass heroes. Rahman's chin is no worse than Wlads, probably better
