I think Wlad has looked a lot more comfortable in the ring (oddly enough it started that way in 2005 in the last round when he hurt Sam Peter) he looked at ease and he's looked better and better since then (bar the Ibragimov and Rahman matches...those are the only ones I fault him on). VS Ray Austin he did his job quick, vs Ruslan Chagaev he kept throwing punches and he didn't wait to set anything up (plus that was a short notice fight for both guys).

VS Sam Peter there are no excuses, Wlad knows who he is, knows what he does best, and should attack from the get go and look to find a home not for the jab but for the LEFT HOOK. I think Wlad will put Sam down several times and early too...I have a feeling after the Chambers fight Manny is wanting Wlad to step up his bad intentions a bit more.
