Wlad pitches a shutout and everyone hates?

Had me baffled too, it's not like Sultan even looked like he had the power to trouble WALD, he just looked like a white Chris Byrd, without the wife with the big trap.

I could understand WALDS caginess against PETERS but this guy :huh

 

I have questioned Wlads chin for years now, but I think the fear of getting hit is his biggest problem. It seemed everytime Iggy got close to landing, Wlad look horrified, the same way he looked against Peter, Sanders, and Brewster. My only really guess is, in the gym he might been floored by a sparring partner and lost some of his confidence in his chin, who knows, that's just my theory.

 

Byrd/Williamson?

 

Chris Byrd was an all time great who was on his road to total dominance of the heavyweight division until WALDO stopped him in his tracks. Please wash your mouth/keyboard before posting again.

 

and many bouts involving John Ruiz.

 

This is BS HRH. A LOT of fights go all the way and do not come off as being a bit boring. Fights do NOT need to end with a KO to be entertaining. But that seems to be what you and many other K fans are rationalizing.

You guys think a lot of people are HATING simply because it didn't end in KO. Nothing could be further from the truth. Fights CAN go the distance and still have enterttainment value. Last night, Wlad's did not. Sure some posters are saying ****, but the better posters agree Wlad did what he had to to win, but that's it. And it wasn't a masterpiece of boxing by any means as some are saying.

 

He said he thought Wlad never LACKED any versatility, but that last night he didn't show any. Wlad's never had a wide array of punches he threw. He's used what was successful for him, and that's basically three punches.

 

Klitschko actually landed some insane right hands during the fight on Ibragimov but the man just needs to be praised for being able to take such shots, you saw what happened to others.

 

Would throwing his right more often or doubling on a jab that was landing at will be a huge RISK to you? :huh

 

Yet Peter only lost by 3 points on all three of the judges scorecards, most people would say the fight was pretty close and very competitive at times. Wlad was hurt a hanful of times in this fight, and went into a panic attack twice because of the pressure Peter put on him. Peter was the last oppenent to give Wlad serious problems in the ring, why you say? Because he pressured a fighter that doesnt like to be hit, so fared better than 90% of the other fighters Wlad has already faced. I think it's safe to say now, Wlad has hard time handling pressure fighters, and every time he has, he hit the canvas and panicked.

 

Tell Wlad the mother****a . . . to switch to baseball. :rofl

I want to throw up . . . just thinking he is supposed to be the best at the heavy weight division.

:yep
