    he tried, but his right hand missed. peter would have gotten ko'd - no doubt. but when wlad's right hand missed he quickly recovered.

    WLAD was so scared he jumped back after hitting Peter...he jumped back so far, he had to take two hops forward to try and follow up. He was very scared for 12 rounds, afterall nothing was working...

    Remember everytime he nailed Peter before that shot it did nothing, that's why WLAD runs away even after landing massive blows...

    Wlad did not run away. It is called footwork!

    Did you ever see the great Muhammad Ali? Did he run away from his opponent? He did not run, he boxes them out, so did Wlad not so perfect but Wlad has great footwork for a huge man like him.

    I respect you Suge, and you dont do what Im about to say, but, what amazes me about the haters is that when a fight is announced you all say that Wlads opponent is going to win. His opponent is going to do this and that.

    Then.....Wlad wins, instead of giving Wlad credit where credit is due, you guys change to "Wlad fought a bum"..."that guy didnt deserve to be there with Wlad" ... ect

    Drives me crazy!

    I'm completely with you there. WLAD has learned to protect his chin, and to pace himself. Those two facts have to factor into my predictions. The other posters might be right about WLAD getting hit right and going down, they are just not admitting how hard Uncle Manny has made WLAD to hit.

    C'mon guys... doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why Wlad has been so successful over the past few years. He has mastered the art of holding... without being warned/penalized. This helps him stay out of harm's way. It is smart, on his part.

    Is he an agressive guy that will exchange?... nope. He knows his limitations and the fact that his chin is shaky. So, he overcomes by learning a few tricks from a master trainer. I give him credit for adapting and overcoming his shortfalls.

    He can live off that jab and right, as long as he can get away with holding. Plain and simple. My only question is what happens when a Mills lane-type referee warns him early and threatens to take points away or disqualify him? That's when things get interesting. :deal

    I haven't seen Wlad have to worry about refs lately. If he tried that "Jab & Grab" with a good ref, it would be a short night for KLIT.

    Exactly. They all have great chins and the perfect game plan until they step in the ring with Wlad

    You are just so blinded you are missing what is right in front of you. Any holding or clinching, aside from the Peter fight, is negligible. This simply can't be disputed. If you want to back up your claim, please point to a fight where Wlad holds more than any other fighter or holds to where it is an issue.

    I will then put in the dvd and watch it. But please, tell me which one sans Peter.
