Watching Nicolay Valuev taking a dump would be more exciting than that BULL**** FIGHT:-(.. When im in the mood to watch real Heavyweight champions fight without being scared of being hit, like wimps, i'll watch Ali-Frazier, or Bowe-Holyfield 1, or Lennox Lewis-Ray Mercer..
Exactly, thats probably the biggest reason I dislike Wlad, I have a hard time cheering for someone who's afraid to get hit, and seems to either panic or melt like an icecream cone on a warm July day, Wlads only good when he's throwing the punches, when the tables are turned, he shows his true colors.
no, but that doesn't answer my question. he could have fought boring against his previous 4 opponents and then put on a good show when it really mattered in the most important fight of his career. even emanuel steward was pissed off.
The fight was boring but you cant blame Wlad, of course he was catious first, winning the titles (winning period) is more important than putting up a good fight. Just want to remind you that Wlad had a mindset to entertain people first in the first Brewster fight and it cost him dearly.
Was I bored while the fight was going on? No, I wasn't. I was anticipating, and nothing huge ended up happening.... just like most boxing matches. I don't mind someone saying that this is a boring fight. What I find hilarious is how everyone now labels Wlad a gunshy, scared, boring ass fighter due to this one fight. Completley overlooking the fact that he is known to be one of the most exciting fighters out there right now. You are almost always in for a knockout. So, Ibragimov comes in, refuses to make a fight out of it, and Wlad is too smart to leave himself wide open and give Sultan the only chance that he has of winning the fight... and it's Wlad's fault? The fight being boring was Sultan's fault. Wlad was easily controlling the fight, stalking Iggy around the ring, pushing the pace, and dominating him. Wlad didn't have to change a thing, and Sultan was playing too much defense to give Wlad any real openings. If Wlad was losing the fight, and refused to open up and go for something, then I would understand. However, it is Sultan's job to open up, when he was the one losing the fight. Yet... rather than people coming on here and bashing Sultan for not putting for an effort and trying to win the fight... they bash Wlad because he didn't go for broke and try wrecklessly to knock him out. Makes no sense. Iggy is only the second fighter in 7 years to go the distance against Wlad, and the other was Sam Peter in a very exciting fight. Yet... Wlad is labeled as a boring, gunshy, joke of a champion because of one uneventful fight.... due to his opponents unwillingness to put forth a winning effort.
His words in between rounds were that this guy should never had made it 12 rounds. He wanted Wlad to open up and finish him, and had been saying he wanted more rights for a few rounds. So regardless of what he says after the fact, in the heat of the moment, without the benefit of hindsight, Steward wanted him to open up and Wlad was not complying.
lol these guys arent saying wlad sucks but ure dumbass constantly fuels the fire by saying "these guys cant help themselves" all of us here have just said the fight was boring you *******, not that he sucks.
