In Wach's previous fights he's too slow to have a chance against Wlad. Without dramatic improvements in athleticism Wach won't last 4 rounds. Wlad should be fighting established contenders, like Povetkin or Pulev. If he can't get those guys, please rematch Gaye. Wlad/Wach is almost as bad as a match-up as the Mormeck fight and worse then the Thompson fight. If Wach lasts 6 rounds then I underestimated him and he's better then I think he is.
Povetkin and Pulev are both mandatories for 2013 as far as I know. So those fights are coming no matter what.
Agree. Wach has little chance here and Wlad should dominate. I don't know if Wlad will ko him or not because I'm unsure about Wach's chin but Wlad wins almost every round or stops him. I think this is a better fight than Mormeck, besides being 40 and incactive, he had no tools to beat Wlad-none. Thompson might beat Wach in a head to head fight( I'm not sure) but I don't think he was the better fight. Wach has size and some power so there's a bit of hope on his side not too mention Thompson was also 40, inactive, and already beaten by Wlad. So, personally, I'm more interested in Wach than the Thomposn fight and I'd be interested in almost any heavyweight over the Mormeck match.
You don't think he can last longer than Jean-Marc Mormeck? :think Maybe he won't, but, on paper, he's got a much better chance of it, I'd say.
I think this fight ends within 4 -7 rounds or earlier by way of Wlad winning by KO. If Wach lasts longer then 7 I will give him props for hanging in there. Ultimitly no matter how long it goes the result will be the same....a Wlad win. I do think Wach will make it a good fight well it lasts. Just my thoughts! Peace
Wach has long reach and power, therefore he has a chance. Wladimir isn't known for being able to take strong shots. Wach has a chance. It may not be very big at all, but he definitely has a chance. A punchers chance.
I think it will take Wlad awhile to break Wach down. Sticking to my prediction: Wlad by TKO10, Wach not down even once.
That does not make him a viking, still. He should be nicknamed something else, he has nothing in common with VIKINGS.
