You see when referees "warn" him about leaning or clinching that he doesn't even remotely take them seriously. Sometimes a fighter will nod or apologise. Wlad just looks at the ref and proceeds to do it again right away. It's quite comical in some ways. He knows he's the king of the HW division and is the money ticket, so he may feel at liberty to bend the rules. The man has power inside in the ring, and not just with his fists.
True. Any fighter he sees as a danger gets relentlessly clinched to the point if farce. The ones who stand no chance get jabbed into submission and the rest of us get bored into submission
He fights his fight. Clinching is his fight. It's smart of him not to let the ref take him out of his comfort zone.
he's the most dominant champ in history . live with it :good he won't be dethrowned by a BUSTER or lifgtheavyweight or an 8 fight novice like Leon and he certainly won't be Roped by a Dope :deal :yep:yep:yep:yep:yep
True. But he's in arguably the weakest era ever. Unfortunate or fortunate for him depending on what your opinion of him is. Lewis, Bowe and Holyfield could have been defining fights.
