The panic stricken floppy armed defense ^^

Let the triggering commence

 

“B.. Bu.. But Wlad HOLDS!!”

Clinching >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was just trying to point out how Bowe's jab was effective when he did decide to throw it, not necessarily a blueprint on how to beat Wlad.

Styles make fights and Bowe would obviously fight different against Wlad than he did against Holyfield, for one he wouldn't have a guy leaning on his chest slugging it out and two he'd have to contend with a good jabber in Wlad which might lead Bowe to jab more himself.

Debating these types of matchups is fun but ultimately just a guessing game. Wlad had a mean right hand and could shut Bowe's lights out for all I know haha. I'm far from a Wlad hater, I just respect some of the skills Bowe had when he was in his prime, however short that might have been.

 

It’s just a 1-2 besides clinching that’s literally the only thing is going to happen for 12 rounds. I think bowe can figure it out, inside the distance

 

A reasonable post? We can't have this, get the pitchforks and torches, guys!

 

Lewis would likely have Golota'd Bowe way before the actual event. In retrospect, Bowe probably extended his burger-eating career by quite a few years after ducking Lewis.

 

and how many years did Wlad extend his career by avoiding getting into contention with Lennox?

 

Wlad wanted Lennox asap. He thought he could whip him. He was pretty green at the time, so he may not have.

 

so he didnt face him all that time, preferred to hide behind the wborthless belt and couldnt even keep that.

ur own arguments destroy u once again. same old bcs. Its high time for you to reply "u fail"

 

The young Bowe's jab wasn't badly thrown, I agree. But there's more to a good jab than just how well you throw it in isolation; along with footwork it forms the very cornerstone of your whole style, allowing you to dictate pace, range, fight pattern, a whole host of things.

Like you said, Bowe was effective when he threw his jab, but he was just too inconsistent with it to make it any more than an occasionally useful weapon for him. Whether this was down to technical defects in other areas of his game (footwork being the obvious culprit) or a lack of concentration, or simply the inability to avoid getting into a tear up I don't know.

At any rate, he never showed he could control top ten opponents with it the way Wlad routinely did, so it's a stretch to assume he'd suddenly be able to do so against a world class ring general like Wlad. When he actually needed to fight this way, against Donald and then Golota, he ended up struggling to land against Donald and getting outjabbed and beaten up against Golota.

The thought of him suddenly turning into any sort of master jabber to counter Wlad's style is not one based on reality.

 

If an IQ wizard like Byrd couldn't figure it out, I'd be doubtful a dumbass like Bowe could.

 

I'm still curious what this post has to do with anything in this thread.

 

u pick transient titlist over undisputed, ok.

ah cos he beat one k bro ok.

 

Byrd had more ring IQ in a single dreadlock than Bowe did in his entire forehead crease.
