Wlad Only Has Two Punches...

[Myk_Myk]

Only 2? What does that say about the heavyweights who cannot figure him out?

They are either too small or too lazy. Hes just so big and strong that everything usually goes out the window when he lands the first right hand. He also knows his range very well, I give him credit for that and his timing.

It seems so weird to me when Vlad fights these shorter guys. The best analogy I have to compare him to a snake charmer. Once he starts popping them in the face with that hard jab, after backing off a couple of times, they start to fall into a pattern of just standing there right in the range of it and his right! Byrd, Ibragimov, Chagaev, and I can't remember if Rahman at least tried moved to around and give angles.

The taller guys it makes more sense that they have to go after him more or less on the same terms, but time and again I expect these smaller guys to dip in, get inside, turn Vlad, and use angles. Instead they just stand right at the end of his punches and get hammered!
