Really enjoyed the commentary from HBO especially from Roy. (minus Lederman of course which as usual was intolerable) The only issue I had with the telecast from HBO was the lack of ring walks and in-ring fighter introductions. (which I'm guessing was a Sky exclusive??) Roy said towards the 2nd half of the fight that this was the best he's ever seen Wladimir look, which well I can't really disagree. At 41 years old it's an amazing statement, but even as Champ Wladimir was largely a very rigid robotic boxer. However in this fight, we saw a much more energetic exciting Wlad. Bouncing on his toes, head movement to get inside, and he really did let his hands go after he was knocked down and landed some big punches. It's kind of an amazing statement from Roy to say a guy at 41 is looking the best he ever has. Do you guys agree with that statement?
Agree 100%, and I have been a vocal critic of Wlad. Very impressed with that performance honestly it will have a significant effect on how his whole career is viewed going forward, it will for me at least
Just look @ the GOAT @qb TB12 is far faster and a greater qb @ 38 than he was @ 28 and younger. Best play of his career came @ 38. These clowns have no grasp on reality, they way athlete's train now and the level they take it to, it's been proven decade after decade and year after year we can go much longer at a greater ability as time goes by. Science is a hell of a thing !!!
