For getting a close-up of the canvas as many times as he did in that fight, Wlad was still impressive to me. Here's why:

- He got up. And again. And went on to win. This was something Wlad needed to do to prove he should be where he is.

-He seriously outboxed Peter. Not that that is difficult to do in and of itself, but he looked like the fighter a lot of people want him to be. His jab truly is a ferocious weapon, and that straight right is even worse. If Peter didn't have a chin of steel, he would've been out early.

-Movement. I was very surprised to see Wlad's agility in this fight - for a guy that big, he can actually move.

On the other hand, he did show shades of his former problems with stamina, weak chin, whatever you want to call it. But Peter is a huge puncher, and he did get up, so....for me, the jury's still out. We all know Wlad has the strength and skills to dominate the division. But he still seems very vulnerable to me. I gues I'm just having a hard time putting the images of him falling all over the ring out of my head.
