    Yes.

    Effective too, but boring.

    Look what happened when he got hit by that fat slug Peter; he nearly had another full blown panic attack, but managed to hold enough and had a lenient enough referee to just get through it.

    Corrie Sanders took his soul. He can't fight after that, he's terrfied.

    Wlad could never win a competitive fight, he doesn't have the chin or the balls.

    No. But Wladimir has been in some boring fights. For example, Ali has been in some stinkers but I would never say he was a boring fighter.

    There is nothing wrong with his chin, it is his balls that are defective.

    I'd have to say that since Wlad adopted Manny Steward's safety-first, sweet-science approach to boxing... yes he is somewhat boring. Exactly the same way Lennox could be boring in many of his fights.

    Now Vitali is far less cautious because he knows he has a chin to fall back on if he gets whacked. I'm rooting for Haye in a big way. But he'll probably get beaten by Wlad too. Unfortunately.

    Wlad is a fighter than hides behind the jab untill its safe to come out when his opponent starts to tire.

    I watched his fight with Brock and it was not an exciting fight. However there was a devastating KO at the end which made me think the fight was boring but it ended in a brutal KO so was it entertaining or not :huh

    Boring, how his jabs causes a fighter head to bounce back when he touches them with it, it not his fault once they taste the steel hammer, there guards up an there looking to survie,,,i think it is great watching him hunt down his victims, you can see them praying to the One punch god, it is there only hope,,,,,,if a fighter is covering up, for fear of being punched is boring, what do you want wlad to do,,keep in mind it is not just the power but skills that wlad implements that creates that fear, boring NO try beutiful ................I also belive wlad fights for his fans, an as a fan i enjoy seeing him work a fighter down for 7 or 8 rounds,,,know i liked the austin fight, just using the left, but spend months looking foward to his fights, it is nice to enjoy his longer fights, an i think that is how a lot of german fans are too.
