I agree, effective yes, exciting no. I respect Wlad as the HW champ, but the state of HW boxing and a boring as hell HW champ has caused boxing to become a niche sport in America and ignored because of this. Wlad is not entirely to blame but imo he is a big reason why boxing is practically dead in America and is the way it is. The HW division has been said by many historians and knowledgeable fans as being the life line of the sport. And when the lifeline of the sport is on life support no wonder boxing is seemed dead in the country where it once had such a rich history.
