What more risk taking do you want? Wlad got hit clean more than a couple of times, Wlad threw more power punches than jabs, and even showed a very powerful uppercut that most people didn't know he had.
Do you just want Wlad to allow himself to get hit? Do you want him to stand toe to toe when he tried to do that Sam Peter rushed in, head down, and tied up. The thing people have to recognize that when Wlad ties up or disengages that's SMART BOXING....if you try to force your way in or pay no attention to angles and you're fighting a top 10 fighter in any division you WILL pay the price for it.
Wlad is no more boring than Lennox Lewis was....Manny is starting to demand more of Wlad and hell Wlad wasn't built into a safety first fighter overnight so you can't expect Wlad to flip a switch and become all action right away but this fight was definently a step in the right direction.
