I hear Wlad took about 40 punches from Brewster. How can people claim he hasn't got a chin? beats me...
So what if he clinches anyway. Ali did it in abundance and Lewis too. Just a good tactic, like some fighters use dirty tactics.
I'm a Wlad fan but wouldn't go that far. His chin is at best a five. But his defense and, esp., his ring generalship are very good.
Did you watch the fight, Heerko my dutch friend?? I had to watch it online. It's a shame that some big fights involving some kind of "germans" are now moving to pay-tv isn't it?
Wlad hit Brewster with lots of heavy left jabs ......If the fight was not stopped after 6 rounds ...He would,t have lasted much longer than he already did....he would have been knocked out cold within the next 2 rounds for sure....
Vlade seems to punch at less than full force most of the time to keep his balance. Never caught Brew flush but when he starts to open up his power it looks pretty scary. A very strong lad indeed. Brew is durable but if Vlad landed flush and full power I believe he'd go down.
