How true. If a fighter can provide several highlight reel KO wins in a row, then has a mere a decision win that he dominates, is that such a bad thing? Let the guy merely win a dominating decision every once in a while without slamming him.
Wlad ended the fight totally unharmed, that may be a good sign for an early title defense against Thompson. What do you guys think? will he go for Thompson already in the first semester? will he leave that for later or will he vacate the WBO belt? I guess that Povetkin is pretty much set for the second semester, I'm positevelly sure Wlad will imediatelly begin contacts for a fight with Chagaev, but that should not materialize, so that leaves him with the WBO's Thompson mandatory situation. It would be nice to watch Wlad fight someone his own size and lenght.
Let's not forget the IBO Championship... Now I know this is all about unconditional support to role model, hero or idol kinda fighter... Go Wladdy!
Well said and welcome aboard the reality check ship! We have a unified Heavyweight Champion. Here's to Wlad getting those other beltholders in the ring.................
You are touching yourself. Wlad fought a somewhat safety first fight but he still dominated throughout. It was a bad style matchup for him due to Sultan's southpaw, leaning back stance & counter punching style. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yes he will. I like Povetkin and he's being thrown in there against the best too soon. With Povetkin's aggressive style I see Wlad KOing him for sure.
I never claimed it was his best showing or anything, just that he did win in dominating fashion vs. a top 3 Heavyweight.
Just wait and see the facial job he'll give Povetkin when they meet !! If the young sensation had Chambers puff him up bad, Wlad's work will look like a facial reconstruction !!
