It was as bad as usual, but this was the first time I had the feeling that Wlad thinks he can't fight (and win) any other way. Wlad was right on the edge of being DQed and was still using holding tactics: trapping a glove; using his weight to hold Jennings against the ropes.
We haven't even talked about Wlad's pushing or his half-assed jab/straight-arm/blinder he used all fight long.
I guess he's been allowed to fight that way in Germany for so long, he can't fight any other way or thinks he can't.
People seriously underestimate Jennings high guard.
Neither Wlad nor Wilder is remotely so hard to hit. Let's see these huge punching huge athletes throw down. These aren't Primo Carneras, they are athletes, rare athletes.
Wlad will beat Wilder and he'll do it easily, he'll beat Fury and he'll make that look easy too. Jennings surprised me by going the distance, and he put in a decent performance, but it just proves Wlad is THE APEX of the division.....it's just him alone at the top with everyone else looking up.
I want to see any fight that poses a real danger to Wlad!!!
Damn it.............![]()
I think both Wilder or Fury have a legit shot almost on size alone. Neither of these guys are going to have to duck and dive in to attempt to reach him before getting double gloved on the brain stem and pulled down. I think Fury's chances are actually better then Wilders just because of the way he fights.
He's awkward and unorthodox, takes chances and can throw a nice change up switching to southpaw.
I also doubt that Haymon lets Wilder anywhere near Wlad at this time and will milk Mr Wilder for a year or two. Maybe Jennings will get another shot or even Briggs. I just dont see Wilder going to Europe.
Wlads post fight press gig was interesting in that he seemed to apologize because how he put it, the fight was not as exciting an ending as Pulev. That is quite a statement. You see in that fight he was able to get away with what he did last night but against a guy who was also incapable of any movement at all and stood right in front of him. Somehow knocking a pumpkin off a fence post after grabbing the object on several occasions first is exciting.
Some kind of collective protest needs to be launched against this continuous holding in his fights. Its not even boxing. He double grabbed behind the head more times last night then Ali did in his entire career. This is not some puzzle or boxing style that an opponent has to figure out.
Wilder has a better chance, in my opinion, with a much faster delivery system.
Wlad vs Fury has a big chance to become a hugfest with short, intermittent outbreaks of punching. Hell, let's face it, they'll both be hugfests if the fight happens in Europe.
Protest? I was thinking about that the night of the fight. What if everyone decided they didn't want to fight Wlad? Their excuse? Wlad is allowed to break the rules, so they have no chance of winning, plus they would rather make less money to have a fair chance against other opponents. Would never work because money has every fighters attention, that's what it's about.
Any ideas for a protest about the holding, pushing, and straight arming Wlad is allowed to get away with in every fight.
I read an article about both Klits having a low opinion of Don King for his cheating ways. I wonder what they both think about Wlad's fighting style. They probably wouldn't have much to say, like all cheaters it seems to be OK as long as they benefit.
The HW division, like any other is akin to a pack of lions. At some point a young lion with no experience of holding down a pack-decides the old king has been there long enough.
Sometimes two young HW's will meet, but when there is a legend holding the throne-it will take a new scrapper to end the reign.
War Wilder War.

But Wlad is the ONLY boxer, ONLY heavyweight champion to EVER EVER EVER EVER bend rules and I agree....he must be stopped! For the greatness of boxing to return to it's rightful owners, those who never ever ever ever ever bend rules.
Only Wlad holds and only Wlad cheats
Only Wlad cheats, only Wlad
.....yuuuuuuuup
Let's not go overboard El Kabong and be melodramatic.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
We all know most fighters will push the rules as far as the referee will let them, but show me a fighter who has consistently been allowed to push, bend, and out and out break the rules like Wlad. Hell, the man can't fight any other way now, you have to take away points to get his attention and then it's iffy whether he'll stop.
