Wlad Only Has Two Punches...

[RozzySean]

People would have been happier if Chagaev had come out for the 11th and gotten stopped in the ring. So it's really Chagaev's fault

mofo, could you please tell me what fighter ENJOYED getting hit

Wladimir is a dominant champion and probably won't be fully respected until he retires and leaves the division in flux.

I think Nicolay Valuev would open up Wladimir's offense, Tony Thompson kept Wlad busier than most opponents

The point I was trying to make...was that fighters accept as a consequence getting hit but when they see an opponent hurting they throw a little caution to the wind and go looking to finish them off!!

They will use there ringcraft to cut of an opponent...pressureise...and then finish them!!

Wlad really never does this...

He appears almost scared to get hit...he does'nt like to chance things even when he's in complete charge of a fight..this tells me that he does'nt like to be hit or mix it up because of it!!

Its obvious I don't rate him highly,but i'm not a Hater just more of a doubter..I want the HW Champion of the world to look the part when he fights but Wlad just Ambles on!! Maybe as you say he will get credit and his respect when he retires,but I cannot help but be disappointed in him now!

The fight was boring and I ain't a Wlad fan but you have to blame Chagaev for not giving Wlad a reason to use more than two punches. Chagaev was coming in straight so that's all Wlad had to deal with.

No offense. But it's kind of a dumb mentality to save punches for when another fighter gives you reason to use them.

Which sounds better "well he is giving me all these openings but im gonna not take them and wait for him to hurt me before I use any other punches" or "he is giving me all these openings, I'm gonna exploit them now and get him out of there"

It's not that the openings weren't there, but the fact some fans are trying to defend Wladimer by saying he should be forced to use other punches is a little dumb because it makes no sense to wait until you are hurt to remember you had a left hook. Chances are once a fighter finds a way inside Wladimer's jab the rest of his offense isn't going to mean much. So why not just get them out there the instant the openings are there instead of delaying it .

I hear you, Wlad is shit scared of taking chances these days, he fights every round like it was the first as if he is just getting a feel for the fighter.

I think your spot on, he does not use his abilities to effect, he used to throw bombs once upon a time.

He did one upon a time your're right,so I wonder why the change....One thing is for Sure though..If he chooses to try and SPOIL against Haye he will be in Big trouble

[boozeboxer]

the hard punch and the really hard punch?

I think Wlad is versitile enough with his punches. Like they say, "if ain't broke, don't fix it".
