SeanE I can kind of understand your perception of the fight but ....it's totally wrong.

Does Wlad look knocked silly or does he look tired

Arms down, leaning in, not moving his head, not up on his toes, not fighting at distance....hhhmmmmm those sound like tired issues rather than being HURT

He looks both tired, silly, and knocked silly. Plenty of fighters get gassed and don't get KO'd. Sure, he was gassed, but if he didn't have some chin issues, he would have been able survive and regroup. Stamina played into it, sure, but it ain't the whole story, like some people make it out to be. It was only the 5th freakin round. Yes, he's gassed, then he gets caught, then it's over. If the guy has a real chin, it would have taken a little more.

This guy has been KO'd THREE times. How can you deny he has beard issues? I'll tell you why. Because if it's stamina, it can be corrected. If it's a beard, it's permanent, and people who are true believers in their fighters hope above all hope that their fighters will correct their obvious flaws. Many people want to believe that if Wlad corrects the stamina problems, something he can control, he will be unbeatable. Increased stamina will and has helped his chin, but that problem is still lurking out there. Deny if you want, but it's there.
