Just out of curiosity, how many other champions have a 4 fight stretch of fighting competition this bad?
Just watching this & other Pianetta fights, for the first time. Goodfrickinglord, is this guy slow! His "jab" is literally a "push." His body moves like he's underwater. He makes Mormek look like Pernell Whitaker. This fight is just going to be target practise.
Paper champ? Klitschko has cleaned the division and unified it in the last 7 years. His post-Haye career has been mediocre (except for the mandatory against Thompson), but sure he will beat Povetkin or Pulev to finish a fine 2013. *Alexander Povetkin is a paper champ.
So Charr, Arreola, Chisora, Adamek, Solis or Briggs had a reasonable chance against Wlad? What are you smoking? Wlad will likely fight some of them anyway.
Honestly? Id be disgusted if Wlad didn't dominate this from start to finish. And the finish should happen by round 4. This guy is far worse than Wach.....and that is sad.
Popular exciting fighter. No fight lined up in the near future (that I know of). Unofficially beat Povetkin. Crazy mofo. Good times! :good
