Re: I Officially hate Wlad (and his fans) more than MMA
You know I don't have many fighters that I feel strongly one way or the other about, I usually either root for the upset or what I think is better for boxing as a whole...I'm a big Evander fan, but outside of the occasional comment on being a dirty fighter(headbutts), hypocrite (illegitamate children), and steroids I rarely have to defend the guy, nor do I feel compelled to. Some people just get carried away. I think Wlad and his brother are two of the most unique and talented HW's we've ever seen all be it with some shortcomings. I think Wlad is great and against Sanders it looked like his trainers had let him down. It was like he'd never even sparred with a southpaw, much less one with KO power. The Brewster fight is often portrayed as Wlad getting owned. Everyone fails to mention that fight was on the cusp of being stopped multiple times. Wlad beat the crap out of Lamon before running out of gas. So Wlad has some good wins and has shown some great skill along with some areas that need work...I think Wlad fans feel they have to over compensate for his stumbles.
