After Wladimir lost to Corrie Sanders, he hired Steward. Steward has since tried to incorporate a more American style of boxing into Wladimir's European style. IMO this is a detriment to Wladimir's skills and is causing more harm than good. It seems he's thinking to much and things don't happen as naturally in the ring for him as they used to.
Wladimir won a gold medal, the WBO belt, and won many fights including several against top opponents such as Barrett, Byrd, and McCline with his European style.
All boxers eventually lose fights (with very few exceptions). Many lose by KO. Many make comebacks. Lewis, Forman, Ali, to name a few, all made comebacks. Wladimir at 28 years old can also make a comeback.
Wladimir has to overcome the Mental aspect of being knocked out, The pressure of keeping up with Vitali, and now learn Manny's American boxing style.
IMO - He should Fire Manny, reinstate his former trainer (Vitali's trainer - who's name escapes me at the moment),and get back to what worked for him. His European style had many viewing him as the next great heavyweight.
What do you think?
Wlad fans complain too much. Shoud Wlad do this, should wlad do that, Wlad should fire Stewart, Wlad should buy different vaseline, Wlad should spar wit Vitali. Enough of this silliness!
I think it's the other way around.

Yeah Vitali seems to have the drive and killer instinct. Roach could significantly help Wlad in the long run.
if wladdy doesn't have the drive and killer instinct anymore, no trainer, no matter how good ( even the great Freddie Roach ) can't put it in there for him. wladdy should think about taking some time off and seeing if he still wants to continue fighting anymore
What does "style" have to do with him being totally, completely, and hopelessly gassed after 4 rounds?
How about using a new style for the first time in a title fight.
Well, Wladimir will get the Steward's file and hopefully win some great fights in futre, after all he is 28, and I know he will be back with Great surprise,maybe even this Spring, watch him!!
Free Willy is a pansy lol. He's supposed to be a gangbangerand he's got fucking get well cards and shit on his wall. Get real, and get jenny craig.
I was sick bitch. My homiez look out . That's how it is in with the set where I roll
Wlad is a coward. Simple as that
no man that climbs into the boxing ring is a coward. i doubt you would call Wlad a coward to his face. its fine to criticize his skills, opponents and heart, but you wouldnt be able to finish your statement before he would put you out with one of them quick left hooks.
