The troll pit has bowe slightly ahead. How does the Brit forum see this one going in a neutral arena with a balanced ref, prime for prime? Breakdowns are appreciated :good I think Bowe's inside game is way to much for Wlad and he stops him around the midway point. He will take some punishment from straight shots on the way in though. :think
Riddick Bowe by knockout. There's no way Wlad stays out of harms way in this one, not with Bowe's speed and reach. And he's not going to be able to take one of Bowe's best shots. Can't see an argument for Wlad winning personally, the style match up is a nightmare for him.
Bowe is the most overated heavy weight champ ever, won 1 good fight against holyfield, completely **** scared of Lewis , dont undersatnd this thing about how bowe could have done this and done that, means **** all, he did nothing
Bowe's inside game would be key. Bowe, for a big man was brilliant on the inside. WALDO wouldn't just be able to grab Bowe and lean on him. Bowe would have been to aggressive and WALDO would not be able to cope. As soon as Bowe started to land with regularity, it would spell a painful end. He also had a fairly good chin and a big heart to go with it. Poor style match up in my opinion.
Okay mate, resume's aside, how does Wlad deal with a big heavy who is good on the inside fighting his way out of the clinch?
Yeah, he did **** all in the grand scheme of things, but prime Bowe, on his day........there aren't many heavyweights with that kind of speed, power or athleticism. Do you not think that Bowe, with that jab, power, speed of foot, and those long arms could not reach Wlad's chin with a 1-2? I think that's a certainty IMO. No way the Bowe that fought Holyfield would not find Wlads chin with a bomb.
I Do think the Bowe when he fought Holyfield would have beaten Wlad, and the Bowe on that day was a great fighter, and i liked Bowe, i just got very pissed off with him and his talking **** all the time, and that knob manager he had, so i think my judgement is a little wrong here,
This is no walk in the park for Bowe. wlad has proven excellent boxing ability which will provide bowe with a lot of problems i still see bowe winning
Yeah, I don't like Bowe much myself. His being dead cocky and calling out Lennox and that, only to not fight him really does **** me off, looking back. I wasn't even around when that was going on, but I still dislike him for it
Bowe for me for all of the reasons stated. Any less than the best Bowe though and Wlad would beat him.
Bowe is a nightmare for Wlad. He's just too tough and too rough. Whilst he was exceptionally skilled, his ability to win a proper fight is the reason Wlad would get knocked out. Even though Wlad is good, I think he might be too obvious for Bowe. His entire attack relies on his jab and he does have the unpredictability or the variation to worry Bowe. We've seen Wlad is so many big fights just rely on his jab, his holding and his right hand. That's not enough to beat most great fighters, and certainly not ones as good as Bowe was.
