Thanks BD, I'm just waiting for some kind of announcement. IMO 2011 will be the year for some serious heavyweight action.
:good Absolut right. Wlad learned from Steward very well. He knows how to do it. No other European Boxer ever learned "cut off the ring". Look at Valuev vs. Holyfield for example. Valuev followed Holyfield 12 rounds.
yes Fury is. Getting tips from wlad and emanuel is working hard with him.... he is a really nice guy... always looking to get better. Even been working with me on his nutrition at wlads camps
So you are saying that Wlad's technique alone is so much better than Adamek's that this technique will allow him to cut off and corner Adamek (the guys who was proven champion in the lower classes where opponents are more mobile and in average with better skills than these at HW)? .... isn't that some misconception of Wlad's fighting style, where MOST people complains that he is too robotic, too defensive, and the main reason he is so successful is his size and that his opponents are just dreadful? Sorry I cannot see Wlad coming forward and pressing Adamek a la Frazier ... just cannot see that happen. I'm not saying that Wlad is a bad boxer but I'm saying that Adamek is a god boxer himself and that he is the faster one and more mobile .... so between the two good boxers, where one is more mobile (Adamek) and the second (Wlad) is slower and more defensive in nature, I don't see how Wlad is going to corner Adamek?
If this is true, now that would be definate ducking. Doubt it, Wlad seemed keen on the bout when talking about it himself.
You're saying that no European boxer, in this history of boxing has ever been able to cut the ring off and that Wlad is the only exception? Not only that, but as an example you cite a fight between one of the most lumbersome heavyweights of all time versus one of the oldest. Is that what you actually think?
Valuev is a horrible example to cite for an argument of boxing school. He "learned" boxing while fighting on Oktoberfest type boxing events held in warehouses and bars all over the world as a circus attraction. He fought in Australia, Japan, Korea, Germany. It wasn't until his early 20s when he became professionally managed. Valuev doesn't represent any type of specific "boxing school", neither European nor American. Maybe if you make up a circus school.
