Manny Steward is on to something. He has created a new Frankenstein Monster in Wladimir Klitchko. Having watched The big Ukrainian dispatch Bryd and Brock in brutal fashion, I now believe "Dr. Steel Hammer" has become a Killer Robot . What Manny has done is to simply take this superb athletic specimen and said here is the recipe for success: "analyze and/or figure out your opponents style in the first 2 or 3 rounds, adopt a counter strategy, go on automatic, execute it in the 4rth or 5th, and dispatch him ." The PhD turned boxer has no trouble absorbing the lessons.
Lennox Lewis, though more creative, knew how to do this and so did a prime Tito Trinidad and Tommy Hearns. Coincidentally, Manny trained Lennox and Tommy. Of course, you need the tools with which to do this and I believe the Uke has them.
The affable Oleg Maskiev is in for a bad time if he fight "Dr Steelhammer"takes place. I hope his payday is mega.
