A TKO is a knockout. Check into how fights are scored. It stands for TECHNICAL KNOCK OUT, so yeah, Wlad has a knockout over McCline.
Well you could see that whenever Ibragimov attacked Waldo he was promptly tied up. It really isn't in Ibragimov to apply pressure though. Sporadic attacks sure, but not real pressure. He just banked on Waldo being open to throwing the right which he rarely did. Waldo is so one dimensional now it's pathetic. Someone is going to clean him out very soon. And I think that guy will be Povetkin.
His always been a technically untalented, but he has some speed and before wlad fight, he owned iron chin...unfortunately, wlad ruined it..
To a certain extent you are right, Sammy is ready and comes to fight , i would rather watch a rough and ready puncher have a brawl than ywo safety first so called Champions chess match thier way through 12 rounds like SI and WK.. Good fighters but value & Entertainment goes with Sammy, the fight with Wlad was action packed and fun to watch.. gimmee that every time.. Golota v Mollo was great for heavyweights too.. time for entertainment.. Samuel v Wlad 2 may bring excitement back once Maskaev is out of the picture.. God bless..
The part you failed to mention was the bit where Samuel got back up after the mini crisis and got a credible win over Jameel.... Dont jump on the so called (bad chin) brigade after a bad showing.. any 250 pound guy can make you shake to your boots if you are caught clean. Sammy took full blooded shots and still maintained his composure to gain the victory.. Maskaev is holding Sammys title for the next few days then the Wlad rematch is a must. God Bless..
I think his mighty offense clearly overcomes the vulnerabilities of his defense and overall, he's a good fighter that every single heavyweight would give too much respect. The fact that he's been willing to improve his performances is already good evidence that he's not declining and therefore, he may have better chances in future high level fights... B'sides, how can a B level fighter have been given a shot at a WBC championship? Just if he is a B +++ fighter...
KLIT cracked PETER with some bombs...we have no reason to question Sam's chin, unless OLEG does what McCline did to Sam.
not sure what u mean about "b level" wlad is tops. everyone else is way back imo. so according to that Wlad: A- Peter, Chagaev, Valuev, Povetkin, Iggy, Maskaev,etc... are all B's anyone who steps in the ring with him should be at least a 4:1 dog at this point.
