A determined Wladimir is very hard to beat. Look at both the second Brewster and Peter fights. Wlad brought a very different attitude to both those fights than he did to the first time he met those men. He was determined not only to destroy them, but not to be hurt by them. And both men got in good punches in their rematches with Wlad with nowhere near the same effect they had in their first fights. I really think Wlad has not only trained his body well, but his mind and attitude as well. Go look at the Peter rematch. He beat the crap out of Peter. He started early and just built up the pressure until Peter busted. Even when Peter managed to land, Wlad just gave Peter the "you can't hurt me" look. Wlad had a very different attitude in that fight, and I think he will have that same attitude in this fight with Haye. He is DETERMINED not to lose, and I don't think he will. One other note on the second Peter fight, did anyone notice Wlad briefly turn southpaw at one point in the fight? He throws three right hand jabs at Peter that hurt him and then he goes back to the left jab.
Do you remember what round he did that in? And I remember seeing that nice uppercut Wlad threw to help finish Peter off.
