I honestly don't think it would have done jack shit for the division, majority of people may have started following wlad but that would be about it. They wouldn't start following the rest of the heavies, just as is the case with pbf and pac, they'll watch their fights but try mentioning anyone else around the weight and they look at you like a deer in headlights. I do like wlad but he was a bit to precautious in that fight, he had softened ibragimov up plenty and in round 9 or ten should have thrown everything at him, sort of like he did in the second sam peter fight, in the final round of that fight after many gave him an earful wlad just went out and threw everything at peter and got him outa there, but really don't think it would have attracted anymore fans to the sport.
