What happened to Wlad?

[SlimTrae]

He didn't have a reach advantage for a change, consequently he had to be ultra negative due to his phobia of getting tagged.

He was faced with an opponent he couldn't just clench all night long.

I think Manny Steward would've given him the plan for a guy he couldn't do his usual clinching to.
Not saying Wlad would've executed to perfection. But I think it was and still is a very winnable fight for him.

I do not think it would make a difference. The plan would be to get inside, throw volume punches and be aggressive. All the things that do not come natural to Wlad since his losses.

Manny would have advised Wlad to avoid the fight like he did with Chisora

Did Wlad pass away from old age ? or is that just a rumour ?
