17 Days 'til Wlad's Big Announcement

[El Kabong]

You're a Wlad fan, Lyle. That is to be respected.

Me... I've seen too many Wlad-Sultans, Wlad-Hayes, and Wlad-Povetkins to be a fan of the man. Hey... if Wlad comes out guns blazing and knocks Fury the hell out... I'll be the first to give him his due. But that is IF (and that's a huge "if") Fury comes to fight and makes the fight competitive, presenting even a semblance of danger to Wlad. But..... (and I know Ross doesn't want to hear this)... if Fury comes out like yet another loudmouth opponent suddenly turned meek... I'll continue to berate the HW division and wish for Wlad's early retirement.

In reality, I don't care WHO wins, as long as both come to fight (not clinch, maul, and grapple)... and we get an action-packed, thrilling, competitive, memorable HW fight. In truth, I probably have better chances of winning the lottery, so I'm not holding my breath. But that's what I'd like.

Doesn't matter what happens in the fights in this case TitoFan, this is about Wlad delaying the fight due to injury and the possibility of Wlad retiring outright instead of fighting Fury.

Wlad isn't super human, he can get injured like anyone else. I've had injuries training before I am sure everyone has.

Now whether or not Wlad was really injured or if he postponed the fight due to his wife's postpartum depression is a topic that is certainly up for debate and that's fine, but to IMMEDIATELY say "Wlad is ducking Fury" and "Wlad is going to retire" which is exactly what Brockton and you have accused him of doing/planning to do....the man has fought anyone and everyone in the division at the highest level and been winning everything in sight for 11 years now....but an injury or his wife having to go into treatment for postpartum depression gets the "My Wife is suffering so much, I cannot focus on the fight properly, my family comes first, my calf comes 2nd, and third my career" and "his pulling out of the original Fury fight date with a suspiciously-timed calf injury reeked of intimidation" treatment

I think it's a giant leap to conclusions and it's a massive disrespect....yall are free to do so, but I think it's shitty

Interpret what you like, Lyle. I think I've been pretty clear on where I stand on Wlad.
If he proves me wrong... great.
