I might not have any fights under my belt, I spar, I train, I watch boxing....so I GUESS all knowing coach you just know waaaaaay more than me. (BTW I realize there are people out there who know better than me, just right now you don't strike me as one of them)

You know that Wlad telegraphs his punches....perhaps you should have told Chris Byrd.

You know Wlad throws just a 1-2...perhaps you care to explain why that left hook of his is so good or did I just dream that he KO'd Charles Shufford with it and rocked the hell out of Sam Peter with it.

I think that a 46 (41 KO)-3-0 fighter is not an "unlikely champion"...especially since when he fought Peter his chin got tested he got back up and he won.

I reckon I'm just delusional and I don't get boxing...I don't get the whole "Styles make fights" idea, which is why I always knew Winky Wright would humiliate Shane Mosley. I don't get the fact that shocking results happen...in fact it's simply amazing I'm able to type.

I listen to cornermen on TV and when I spar and you know (hopefully) that they can be just as wrong as they can be right here are some famous examples:

Ali-Foreman: Poor Archie Moore just didn't do well that fight

Tyson-Douglas: Yes I know more about boxing than those jackasses. I know an ENDSWELL will do more than a Condom filled with water. I also know Tyson didn't recieve any advice about moving his head or throwing combinations...they just said "What are you doing?"

Taylor-Chavez I: "You need this round!"...Yeah to go with the other 11 you already won. That ended his career right there.

However there are times where the corner does it's job very well, I just don't see Tommy Yankello bringing anything to what Brock can do vs Wlad. Whereas Manny Steward is a friggin genius! All Yankello is known for is Spadafora and I've never been impressed with that style, especially at heavyweight
