If Wlad carries Mormeck beyond round 6 will he damage his legacy?

    I'm saying this as a fan of Wlad: I can't possibly see Wlad taking this mismatch beyond round 4. If it goes on for much longer than that I'm wondering if Wlad's legacy will take a dent by allowing yet another out-matched and out-muscled opponent to go on much longer than necessary.

    Will Wlad finally deliver another Austin style two round decapitation? I sure hope so. Anything else will be a major embarrassment as Mormeck doesn't belong anywhere near a title fight. :deal

    No i dont think so especially if Mormeck goes into survival mode

    if it goes 6 competitive then its an issue

    Only if its close, wlad should dominate and get the win, thats what matters.

    Nope many legends have had off nights and struggled with limited opposition.

    But it would not look good if it was a close fight but **** happens

    Why would it?
    Wlad is not a killing machine in terms of brutality. He is widely recognized as a safety first fighter. As dominant as he is his legacy was not built on decapitating his opponents

    LOL, clearly Mormeck shouldn't last 6 rounds, but it is so obvious that this fight will.

    B... B... But don't you know Mormeck is an ex-Cruiserweight champion, just like the great David Haye!!!!! :lol:

    Mormeck is not a bad fighter or a bum by any means, so no

    And his legacy will be judged as such considering the level of opposition.

    Wlad needs to get a fighter of Mormecks stature out of there in under 5. This is a small blown up CW with average power who has done nothing at HW.

    A long fight will only add substance to those who rank Wlad lowly in the ATG sense and do little, regardless of the manner of win, for those who support him.

    Which is ironic, because him and his brother probably damage their opponants more by not going for the kill than they would otherwise.
