Why does Wladimir never go to the body?

No one dimensional robot who can only fight one style of fight will becaome an ATG.

 

It is that, theres no question.

His problem is that he is programmed to doing things his way, its too late to change him now so its unlikely you'll ever see him throw a left hook to the liver.

 

Being a drop dead boring fighter might have something to do with it, who knows?

 

He throws some good body shots at Wach and Pianeta and in earlier fights.

Some of you have to open the eyes before post.

 

Did he need help in the Haye fight?

 

Weaving to the left and right , hooking to the body doesn't leave you open to counters if you are a skilled inside fighter.
Wlad's propblem is he cant fight or defend himself in close.

Chisora was bombing Vitali to the ribs and if he was a heavy puncher Vitali would of been in a world of trouble and might of lost that fight. .

Fury is skilled at throwing to the body and scored a nice one punch body ko against Rogan.

 

I saw one against Pianeta and zero against Wach.

 

You do understand that when someone has their hands down luring you in, dropping your hands and going to the body would be about the dumbest thing possible to do right?
Not only is Haye quick, he fights out of a crouch .... so you are expecting Wlad to drop his hands, and giveup both height and reach advantage.

Honestly with your post count id expect you to know a bit better....

Outside of that i completely agree Wlad should be going to the body way more, there are plenty of fights where he could have.
Vs Wach, vs Pianeta and even vs Thompson (although he did but sparingly) heck vs Chambers too seeing as he remained stationary with his hands up quite a few times.

Vs Haye would have been the absolute worst idea ever though.

 

Wladimir doesn't really care to get the KO, just look at how he fights. He's a tactical fighter, if you run into a shot then you get sparked, otherwise he won't bother to pursue the knockout. That said, David Haye wasn't exactly interested in fighting that night, he was throwing predictable single shots and cruising the hell away all night. That's not exactly an opponent/target you could pick your shots willingly against.

 

Yeah, that's it. He threw one against Pianeta and I was like 'wow, Wlad went to the body!"

I think it is due to him playing it absolutely safe. He doesn't like taking any risks whatsoever, he'd rather win a boring decision than push for a KO. He just keeps thudding away with 1-2's and the odd left hook until the opponent can't take no more. When the opponent gets too close he clinches.

 

Mayweather is 1000x the fighter Wlad is, but he don't even be getting tagged with ATG stauts, yet Wlad is already a top 15 ATG fighter? hahaha.

 

Yes, it was a pathetic performance against a man who couldn't put full power into his right hand. Wladimir was stiff as **** and put on a shameful performance. Haye was just as bad if not worse.
