:-( Helenius does nothing better than a bro. No matter what he does with his career from here that will never change. He has one 3 punch combo which looks brutal against someone who has gassed like Peter but did nothing against a fellow youngster like Del Boy (jab and hook are lefts so injured hand means **** all). Wlad never plants his feet like that to punch. The difference is clear when you look at Wlads regular punches. His jab is kinda concussive. Opponents seem to be brain-dead after a round or two of eating it. No-one else in the division can claim that. Robbie's power is overrated.
CHEF is there any reason that Wlad has been using that hook so very sparingly? I completely agree its his best punch and it actually just turns the lights off even better than his right hand. He was actually famous for being able to hook of the jab so fluently. I cant imagine its because hes afraid it leaves him open? He throws it so fast and its so compact i doubt he has to worry about a right hand coming over the top as theres few heavies that can match his speed.
Yeah many of them seem to give up after a taste of that jab. Then they try to get inside to get away from it and they get 250 pounds around their neck. Poor *******s.
Which begs the question, has there have been a fighter with as much power that was more boring? I doubt it.
It's odd how the likes of Williams and even Hide didn't look too much out sized in there against Vitali, yet Haye looked two divisions smaller than Wlad as did Adamek against Vitali.
I noticed that too. Adamek is the smallest 6'3 220 pounder ever which makes no sense but is true nontheless.
pre-sterward Wlad was a very exciting heavyweight to watch ,he use to throw that lethal right hand a lot and back then he also used variety of punches,but today's Wlad is very different from a fighter he once was.
