I thought something happened between the 4th and 5th. Wlad has plenty of energy all the way to the end of the 4th, doubles up the jab, pushes Brewster away, then the knockdown. After that he doesn't go crazy, mostly solid single shots, then they're tussling and they fall over & he's going back to the corner looking very fatigued. So I'm wondering if he's winded. But that's not the story, because he gets an extra break at the start of the 5th while the ref wipes the floor and he's still landing strong shots & it's Brewster who looks unsteady. Then just a few punches from Brewster shuts him down. It's not dissimilar to what happened against Sanders. I'm sure stamina has a lot to do with it, he's carrying a lot of muscle. I just think it takes him close to the edge and after one or two solid shots his energy levels simply collapse.
With some of you fanatics...when it comes to your favorite fighters...some of you boxing fans can't even decipher between a fighter throwing his whole load going for the ko because he can't fight inside, or when a fighter is drugged lol... Wlad wasn't drugged. Whenever any of you Wlad fans give is proof that Wlad was indeed drugged...let the fans know. Otherwise, wipe your ass, and smear your face!!!
Guys! I ran outside and threw punches like a madman for 15 minutes, and then all of a sudden I got really tired! I think I was drugged! Oh hang on the bong is in the shed with the heavy bag...
I think he was so anxious to prove himself that he burned his stamina quickly. After he was low on stamina and started to get hit he panicked (what didnt help his remaining stamina) and rest is history. So in the other words his egg chin was shattered and he had no stamina.
I'm not about to rewatch the fight, but if it was anything Wlad probably under trained. He always looks chiseled but I think he was going through some stuff irl and may not have put the time into the gym that he should have. That whole period of his career he looked depressed. Should have got some Zoloft from Tyson.
Vlad was tired in the very first round. Lots of proof, but American boxing media wanted to stop the investigation ASAP! Ratner resigned after that fight also. What was he hiding?
If you go back on them blg talks there is one with Manny stu. making a statment where he was at the hospt. with Wlad after the fight and the docs. came running in because Wlad was slipping into a diabetic coma because he was given some tranks an isulin .. from Mannys mouth.
