Klits are so effective because! they are boring, or are perceived to be boring anyway, infact I believe, like Hopkins and Mayweather, they maximize their overall effectiveness because they are content to stink the joint out in order to impose what they want to do tactically, that said, I dont find VK boring. What gets me, is this notion that everyone who tries Box them is perceived as having no plums to take it to them, now what I would say to that is, that the Klits are % fighters, as much as you attack them, the more offense you will bring out of them, which in some instances, means you can actually get tore up worse, take Sam Peter (rematch), its obvious his game plan was to back Wlad up, but look at the leather he had to eat, he took some monster shots trying to close that range, eventually getting layed out. I guess what im trying to say is, I dont like the way people claim every! opponent who fights a Klit, did not do anything because he did not have the balls to take it to them, sooner or later you gotta start asking yourself why that is, and praise the overall efficiency of what they do, dont get me wrong, im not a fan of Wlad, he is boring to my mind, but he deserves more respect that he gets imo, as does VK. Just my two sense. :thumbsup
People who have never been in a boxing ring with a good counter-puncher can't understand why experienced fighters often refuse to "let their hands go". The thing is, once you start getting hit (and hurt) every time you try to attack, your mind and body goes into some kind of sub-concious survival mode... You want to let your hands go, but you can't pull the trigger. All your offensive training goes out the window, and you're stuck there just trying to defend yourself. It takes an incredible will to overcome that natural survival instinct in the ring, and keep going all out for the win as you're getting your ass kicked... That's what separates the true warriors of combat sport from the rest of us mere mortals who might look great hitting the heavy bag, but freeze up like a dear in the headlights when they start getting rocked every time they throw a meaningful punch.
