Good post mate. Wladimir has been demasculated. His wife left him. She took his kid. She was sucking someone elses **** weeks later. He is obviously trying to compensate for the loss by doing the only thing he knows best - working out and boxing. I imagine that being 'cultured' is not suitable for him, and even less so for a woman like Hayden who wants to live like a ***** and when she is old and her eggs have dried up, she'll try for a kid like all the other sad cases of once pretty women who got wrecked by Hollywood.
I hope so. He looked pretty good to me against Joshua, as far as being up on his toes and boxing, and he was the victim of a British stoppage. It's likely that Joshua had shot his load, and that it was Wlad's turn to dish out some punishment, but the the British stoppage came to the rescue, at a time when Wlad hadn't been hit clean.
Yet another former champion that doesn't know when to hang up the gloves. If he wanted to do light hearted 3-5 round exhibitions I can see him earning some extra bucks, but against any top competition Wlad gets killed. Wlad has been shot going back as far as 2014, but his competition was bad enough that he was able to hang on a little longer.
Really Wlad didn't finish AJ off because the round before he was knocked down and was ****ed. The only reason he had AJ on the ropes was because AJ got sloppy the round before trying to finish Wlad off and got caught with a massive left hook.. There was no take it easy, pace yourself etc because when you get caught by hard hitting 240/250 pound men it takes a bit out of you. Same with Ortiz he couldn't close the show because he got caught the round before and Wilder got sloppy getting caught himself thinking Ortiz was more hurt than he was.. Anyway I can't see Wlad coming back, he didn't look that great in the sparing tbh, slow and ponderous..
It was a typical British stoppage. What big shot had landed in that final sequence? Either way, I hope Wlad is coming back. It would add some more intrigue, and he would probably beat Wilder.
If Wlad comes back (I hope he doesn't) Wilder will claim that he isn't interested in fighting a fighter who is making a comeback and that Klitschko is done, at the same time Wilder doesn't have any troubles fighting a Fury doing a comeback
I thought it was a good stoppage, but to each his own. I would love to see him come back, and would root for him against any top HW right now. The man is pure class.
