I like Wlad's pawing jab and really has found it effective in keeping people at bay and setting up the right or the hook, match up wise I think Wlad can't leave the Jab out there against Toney cause of Wlad stays lazy with it and doesn't stiffen it up Toney will counter him all day........I don't know I listen to Lyle's analysis of this fight and all Wlad's attributes size, power, ability...Then I look at Wlad's short comings Stamina,Chin,Composure... I just look at those deficiencies of Wlad to play right into Toney's strengths...
If Wlad flicks that jab Toney will make him pay, which Wlad will lose composure, punch more lose steam and expose that chin....Toney has the psychological advantage over Wlad seeing Toney stayed on his feet against Peter and was barely rocked and NEVER a nervous moment....Toney did absorb some Illegal back of the head blows as well....
only way Toney does this if he comes in 10lbs lighter than he did against Peter, Wlad moves exceptionally well for a big man and throws straighter accurate punches even when Wlad hooks he doesn't loop, so Toney has to be even more alert
I like the Idea of Having Emanuel Steward in Wlads corner and Freddy Roach in Toneys....Contrary to popular belief this fight will go into the later rounds and thats were it will be decided......Toney gets the edge in mind games since I dont think thereare many James "Lights Out"Toney personality types in the Ukraine..LOL!!
I still cant predict a winner but at least I can somewhat sort out the variables
