C'mon Miles. Wlad was not shot. The famous "catch-all" for all fighters who lose.

Wlad was the most energized I had seen in years. After more than a decade of peek-a-boo fighting against terrified opponents and a "holy hell" stinker against Fury...... Wlad came to fight. It was like someone had stolen Wlad's body and decided to do something with it. The best heavyweight championship fight since before Wlad's boring reign, and I thank both fighters for it. Wlad may have been a little long in the tooth, though certainly not for today's HW division. But he was absolutely not shot.
