Wlad's last fight with Jennings reinforced some opinions that I had of him going in. The first is that he cannot deal with even basic lateral movement. He needs opponents to stand right in front of him so he can land his telephone pole jab and straight right. Whenever Jennings was on the move Wlad's jab and right hand could barely land. The only thing he could land most of the time was a little weak pecking jab. Jennings didn't have a scratch on him at the end of the fight.
He has no ability whatsoever to fight close quarters. A smaller guy like Jennings who is not known for his inside game was roughing Wlad up on the inside with body punches and uppercuts. He actually outlanded Wlad in power punches by a wide margin. If Jennings had Fury's size and power no further explanation needed as to how the fight would have ended. All Wlad can do in these situations is just hold onto the opponent. Good luck trying to jump on the back of the significantly bigger and stronger Fury.
