If Leapai is at his career maximum weight, it's just because he's trying to minimize size difference with Wlad, and because he's focusing on having more power. If he's good trained, he can have good stamina even with that weight. But damn, i didn't expect him to look so short.
I think this is what their game plan is. They will go out full power for 5-6 rounds and then if no success they would retire on the stool.
Leapai said that the difference with his fighting early in his career was because he was not fighting full time, but when he fought Boytsov he was training full time, he said he is training full time now. I think he will try to win the fight on power alone, thus the weight gain...........Vlad should have no problem knocking him out, just box him, set him up, catch Leapai coming in...........Leapai will come out full force when the bell rings for the first round, but as the fight goes on he will not do so much.........
Leapai is a mandatory fight so please don't blame Wladimir on the fight. He follows the rules and he needs to keep the belts.
