    I'd like see Wlad go in with Peter again (IF) he beats Oleg. Altho, if Vitaly comes back he's going to want that WBC belt back. Chagaev is a dangerous fighter, but I don't think he's any better than Brewster.

    Did you think that before their fight?

    It sure is. One way or the other it's the key to beating any fighter. To the fighter that is being beaten from the outside and can't win (Peter), they must try to get inside to have a chance. That's pressure on them. And when he does manage to get close enough or inside to land his punches, if either he pays too great a price or is not very effetcive... that too is pressure on the fighter trying to get inside. I know you mean "pressure" as the guy coming forward, trying to get inside. But you can look at it form the other way too. Ali applied lots of pressure to opponents by constant circling movement, beating them form the outside, and effective clinching :yep

    Anyway this must be the 10th who will beat Wlad; who can beat Wlad; somebody in NBA/NFL can beat Wlad; who dat, Wlad? thread in the past few weeks :lol:

    With his new style, it will be difficult to see him lose.

    In his next fight, I hope he fights Ibragimov or Chagaev. We need a fight that finally will establish who is the Champ.

    If he doesn't fight Ibragimov or Chagaev, I think he'll fight Rahman or Tua.

    Valuev will fight Liakhovich, not Wlad.

    The worst thing that could happen would be Wlad fighting a guy like Golota or Sanders. I would not watch that.

    When I said discredit, I was saying Im not trying to discredit Wlad not HeavyRH.

    As far as Brewster is concerned, that was not the same Brewster that Im use to seeing, the man was in a complete war with Sergei a year before and took a hell of alot more punishment and his corner didnt even think of stopping it. Im convinced Brewster was there for the paycheck, wether that is true or not will never know, what corner stops a championship fight after getting caught with mostly jabs? That was definitely the first time I ever seen that, it was all just a little too wierd thats all.

    Fair enough. But to me and others Wlad-Brew I was a little too weird. Also aren't you giving Sergei too much credit? And if not, do you think that fight contributed to Lyak's loss to Briggs?

    If he has at least 6 more fights, I would bet my house that doesn't happen. The next time he gets in trouble with a semi-decent HW will be the first time in years (since Peter). He will not be able to handle it and it will cost him. Mark my words. :yep

    What was wrong with Brewster? The choice of trainer, of course. McGirt trains all of his fighters in the same way, Brewster was no different. And this is the way Buddy was fighting himself - slick, technical, counters, etc.

    Unreal! Buddy wanted Brewster to be cute against Wlad, LOL!!

    Sergei hurt Brewster very bad in there fight in 06, maybe the worst of anyone else in his career. I also believe Sergei took nearly as much punishment and the effects showed in his fight against Briggs, watch the reluctance he showed in engaging with Briggs throughout the fight. I think Briggs hits a little harder than Brewster, but the fact he gave Briggs that much respect is beyond me and payed for it in the end.

    100% right, Buddy is maybe the worst choice for Peter, like you said hes not a cute fighter hes a slugger. I feel Freddie Roach would of been a better choice for his type of style, Buddy should be fired IMO.

    Yes, Maskaev has a chance against Peter. Maskaev has good power with basic skills, but is open to the overhand right something Peter throws quite often. Im perdicting knockout either way, but I think Peter will bring the heat and finish him early to mid rounds.

    Wlad/Vitali will probably never happen, both in prime my money would be on Vitali, but if they fought now Wlad would probably win IMO.

    Yes. And we agree on this - Lyak-Brew was a hell of a fight !
