Dominance! (There will be spoilers about Wlad-Chambers)

[ninjaspy3]

It's not Wlad's fault that he has a size advantage over most of his opponents. Wlad's size is an advantage but not that much of a advantage that he can dominate all the fighters he faces. he has a great skillset to go along with his size. The heavyweight division states that anything over 200 pounds is a heavyweight so it's not like he's cheating lol.

Size wasn't a factor for Eddie when he clearly outboxed 6ft7 254 pounds Alexander Dimitrenko for 12 rounds. Dimitrenko actually has a longer reach than Wlad by 2 inches and Eddie was even able to hurt him a few times.

It was all different against Wlad though because he has alot of boxing ability to go along with the size and reach.

it's not a lot of boxing ability. it's his strength and power. if he had a lot of boxing ability, he wouldn't have went in there head hunting and made to look like an absolute monkey at times by chambers.

there isn't much gap if at all between wlad and chambers in boxing skills.

Wlad doesn't win fights on power, he outboxes his opponent then knocks them out.

Eddie barely landed on Wlad except for the odd right hand over the top and a few bodyshots all the while getting jabbed constantly through his guard.

Wlad clearly outboxed Chambers, his jab alone forced Eddie to go into a shell. Wlad is clearly the better boxer and it showed last night.

Demitrenko did not fight using the full advantage of his height and reach, while Wlad does it well. Also Wlad likes to hold when a fighter gets close, which I must say is a bit unfair for the smaller man.

Its like, a small fighter has to work hard to get in on Wlad and then gets held. Serious disadvantage there. I know Lennox did it too.

Anyway, the point is that a very good tall and strong boxer can easily make a very hard fight for a smaller (and weaker), but skilled opponent.
The smaller opponent has to deal with the skill -and- the size of the other guy.
