Wlad pitches a shutout and everyone hates?

I have been writing, obviously I DO know how to read. What I don't do is try to presume exactly what someone meant. Posts here are always taken piecemeal and interpretted any fashion what so ever.

Maybe if YOU can read, you'll explain why you take Pharaoh's desciption of Wlad using his jab all night, and not being versitile, and why you assume that means he thinks Wlad has NEVER been versitile in ANY FIGHTS. He wasn't being cryptic. You just took different posts he made and tried to put them together. Yo gave it the meaning it looks to have now.

And lets be honest, Wlad is NOT the most versitile fighter. He has three REALLY good punches:

Right cross
Left Jab
LEft hook

And he uses those three more then anything else. Last night, two of those weren't used very much.

 

I will not explain to you how logical thought process works. A fighter can show that he is lacking versatility in a fight without being a fighter who lacks versatility in general. These are not mutually exclusive.

 

Yes, but we also must factor in the couple points Wlad should lose for excessively clinching during that fight, which he did over 95 times in that fight. If you also watch closely like I have, Wlad put his head down and turned his back giving Peter no choice, but to hit him behind the head. I thought the ref should of gave Wlad a standing 8 for turning his back to his oppenent, and asked if he wanted to continue. I know when I boxed, if a man turned his back to you, you were allowed to keep punching until the ref stepped in or your oppenent fell.

I thought both men used rough house tactics to get the upper hand, but in the end Wlad was able to bounce back from the knockdowns and out box Peter to a pretty close decision. I think saying Peter gave Wlad fits in that fight, mostly from the pressure he imposed on Wlad during the fight, it's match that I would love to see again.

 

You're not answering anything. But you know that.

I never said he had to impress me. I said he was Smart for fighting how he did. But, and this has been said my many, there was no real reason for him to be as overly cautious as he was. He was facing a good HW with decent power. A HW who couldn't even land a simple jab effectively. WHO relied on a looping overhand right to try and hurt Wlad. If you can't see that Wlad could have ended it early simply by doing what he has done before, then you need to wath him more closley.

 

Wlad had a "Winky-Wright" like performance, which in Madison Square Garden, in the biggest fight of his career and against an opponent who really couldn't hurt, was not in his best interest. I don't think Wlad made any new fans Saturday night, he have lost a few skeptical fans who were starting to warm to him. I am a fan of Klitschko but this was probably the most boring performance I have seen him in since he fought McCline more than 5 years ago.

 

Dude...I understood what he said. It wasn't a mystery what he said. And the fact that he was talking about Wlad using his jab all night SHOULD indicate which fight he was talking about. You jumped the gun on an over defensive fashion going on your assumption rather then what was clearly posted.

atsch Sad...

 

Which punches would Wlad throw? Jab? Right? Then left hook? :huh

 

Yeah, wlad did the backpeddling every time Ibragamov moved!
