Who's next for Wlad?

[Master]

Wlad says he wants to stay until the Brazil Olympics and fight there so he will be staying around for a bit longer.

[El Kabong]

Wlad will more than likely fight 1 of the following next: Pulev, Stiverne, or Arreola

No none of them will beat him but out of the 3 I think Arreola could give him the hardest time because he has a solid chin, decent enough boxing skills, and you can tell he's aching for another bite at the apple.

But all I see is KO 8-10, TKO 5, KO 8

I like his pick-up line...

I'm hopeful he'll fight Arreola. He's got to fight fighters that on paper have a chance of pulling the upset and Arreola's punch power and solid chin would provide an intriguing test. I actually think Chisora wouldn't be a bad fight at this stage if he gets another decent win under his belt.

I like the idea of an Arreola fight, Cris never smothers himself, he fights at a steady but slow pace, heavy hands, decent fundamentals. I think he and Fury have better styles to offer Wlad as far as being more fluid.

arreola is big and cuddly, it would probably be a nice 12 rounds for him

are you allowed top hold in the Olympics? or is it a boxing event he is entering?

They have changed the rules, professionals can compete at the next olympics.

I think Arreola has more of a chance than people think. Povetkin was making Wlad retreat in the first few rounds, and easily got inside. Arreola is a MUCH better pressure fighter than Povetkin, and has more power.

Povetkin has better footwork but yeah pretty much

40 clinches in rounds 1-3, is a clinch a retreat?

o it cant be otherwise you would have said provetkin was making wlad retreat all the way through the fight

The clinch is used as a strategy. I would relate it to if a Quarterback drops back to pass and all the Wide Receivers are covered and the QB throws the ball away to avoid a sack.

Or in soccer if there's pressure on the Keeper while he's accepting a slow back pass and he quickly boots the ball out of bounds to end the threat to his goal.

It's not a pretty move, but it's a smart one. Wlad used it too often vs Povetkin and Manny Steward would have given him hell in the corner wanting him to get the KO but Wlad's the one doing the fighting he's going to win how he can win, most of the times it's better than that but in the end it's still a win.
