Lyle, you're being a pretty damn good sport about it all.
Heaven knows you've gotten all sorts of grief over the fight, but you've been pretty magnanimous about it.
TBH, although I most certainly do not Wlad's fighting style and have always complained about it... I also give him his due in that he's been a long-lasting heavyweight champ, regardless of the circumstances involved. He'll be treated kindly by history, based on his numbers alone. On a personal level, he's a decent and educated human being, something not at all common in boxing. Who knows.... now that he's been dethroned he may come back with a chip on his shoulder, and a completely different approach to fighting if there was to be a rematch.
But the fact remains that I'm ecstatic that he's no longer HW champ.
We need the danger and the excitement of years past.
Boxing needs it.
BTW..... kudos on your new avatar.![]()
