    One fight ago he flattened Pulev, and looked awesome. Tonight, he had an awkward opponent, who didn't stand in front of him, with his chin in the air and with his head immobile. Matter of styles. Get Fury in there, it will be hard to miss hitting the big man. All a matter of styles.

    Wlad at almost 40 is past his athletic and boxing peak.Wlad 2007 against Brewster was at his best moved like a middleweight but the speed has gone.I knew Jennings would be tougher than people think as young fighters improve fight by fight.You cant judge them on their last fight and make no mistake Wilder and Fury will be tougher for Wlad than many expect too.

    The guy cannot win with you *****es. If he keeps fighting you will only watch to hope he gets KO'd. if he retires you filth will call him a coward ect. ect..

    He's one of my favorite boxers, I want him to retire without taking another loss.

    Not everyone can be Bernard Hopkins.

    Honestly, after tonight's performance it should be on his mind - I'd say two or three more fights.

    Pulev didn't use lateral movement and wasn't in high guard defense. He supprisingly was offensively minded, and aimed to overjab Wlad. Don't bull**** a bull****er, one can say, so Wlad could knock him out. However, these two fights cannot be compared.

    If I was him I'd try and unify the division- so beat Wilder which is easy, and then try and beat Louis record of World title defences. Hell just pad it out a bit with the Shannon Briggs and the Antonio Tarver's of this world.

    Fury is active on his feet, shoulder always protects his chin, he uses his jab to control distance. When somebody tries to catch him with a right hand, he sees it miles aways and is able to escape making his opponents hit the ropes.

    With that being said, I don't know which weapon Wlad can apply in order to crack Fury's defense.

    Well looks like I was right that Wlad prolly should've retired after the Jennings fight.

    He should do what he wants to do. He's still capable of competing if he wants to. He's rich enough to retire if he wants to.

    I think it comes down to whether Wald wants to retire after losing to Fury once - that is retire now - or twice after they have a rematch.

    If it was me advising him I'd be telling him to retire now.
