Wlad: I May Have a Glass Jaw, But I'll Destroy Mormeck - Boxing News
Kind of a dumb thing to say, bit empty. How many world class guys boast about charging top dollar to have fans watch them beat up someone in a glorified sparring session. And I'm a fan.
Wlad has more of an arsenal of punches that is realized, but he can beat most people by just jabbing. His safety first style of boxing can be boring though, but isn't that the case with a lot of defensive fighters too?Quote:

Im sure he does but he rarely shows them during a fight. I look at the HWs from the 70s-early90s, then i switch over to Wlad and there's just no creativity to his approach you know? Yes he wins by jabbing but it wouldnt hurt to spark some excitement while doing it.. It's not like the guy isn't blessed with the size and the punch. Most fighters can only dream of having his traits yet he doesn't utilize them enough..Quote:

He has so much advantage over most fighters, there's no reason why he should be fighting the way he does. He should be destroying dudes more often..

how is he a pussy when he does what all other champs don't do, which is clean out his division, yea he's cautious, but he still scores the KO more often than not, you can't expect the guy to go balls to the wall when he himself knows his weak point, the fact that he acknowledges it and makes up for his shortcomings and still manages to dominate EVERYONE in his division only makes the guy more admirable, both Wlad and Vitali will finally get their due and appreciation when they're both long gone and retiredQuote:

watching vlad fight is like watching basketball before the brought the shot clock in... score some points then pass the ball around for minutes on end. boring as fuck!
as an aside. i'd take metta world peace to take vlad by ko.
Yes wlad is a boring as boxer. I dont even want use the word fighter to label him. I like to see fighters making the most out of what they have and wlad doesnt do that. The guy is equipped with bazooka yet he only uses his dinky ass pistol most of the time. I dont like that shit. He is a timid ass boring giant.
Wlad if it takes you more than 7 rounds to win i think you should go back to comparing car insurance

I doubt mormeck can even reach wlads chin. This is damn near sparring, if mormeck could tag someone in to help him he'd still loose.
Wlad has every punch in the book though he normally uses the jab, right cross, and left hook...but he's got uppercuts, and a right hook.
Wlad must finish Mormeck within 2-4 for it to be considered a positive fight for him.
I hope he fights Arreola or Stiverne or someone with some pop next go round, though it'll more than likely be a rematch vs Thompson which should at least be kind of competitive.
That's the way I see it. This is a joke of a match up. But I'll give Wlad a pass if he does what he's suppose to do. And that's massacre Mormeck in 2 rounds or less. This goes pass 5 and Wlad is fighting him like he's Ernie Shavers than let the bad mouthing begin.Quote:

Here's to hoping Helenius does something to make some waves. :-\
