Wlad must have recently watched the 2nd fight between SRL & Duran, where Ray hit & ran all time, frustratingthe **** out of Duran. Wlad doesn't like being frustrated in a fight, so Adamek is out of the question? This has got to be a joke. But if its not, Wlads got the right idea, "Hit & Run" will be excatly what Adameks will do to him. Like I said before, I can see Wlad getting DQ'ed should he fight Adamek...DQ'ed for excessive HOLDING! :bbb
Wlad never gets called on for holding. I don't know why but the refs let him hold all he wants, and they let him use the illegal stiff arm as much as he wants too.
Lewis would get work done in the clinch. Wlad just completely halts the action. Ruiz ...well he was Ruiz. Lewis used to push people off, which he would get warned for. Wlad uses the stiff arm more and never got warned for it. Actually, aside form it being a foul, it's quite impressive how he can just hold his left arm out like that for most of the fight.
Lewis fought smart by holding to buy time but Tomasz would probably not agree to hold so that may not work for Wlad, and I personally do think it's illegal. As for the stiff arm, I don't see a problem. It's the opponent's duty to punch in the nose.
