He was scared to get hit even once in each and every exchange. He just said it; he didn't want to fall in off balance or exposed even one single time.
Now that's fear.
I think that Wlad has not forgotten the southpaw Corrie sanders disaster. He doesn't want to ge caught by a southpaw again so he just jabs and pecks away. This strategy is boring for the viewer but effective for the victory. Once he faces a conventional fighter he'll pump the jab and fire straight rights. I will say that Wlad has all the physical tools but his mental game is suspect.
How is jabbing someone to death perfection.
He barley threw a hook the whole fight, and threw his right hand about 6 times.:nonono:
I didn't say he was perfect, I said he was trying to be perfect.
klitschko was relaxed, i can tell. one thing a person learns to do in higher levels of martial arts is read a person's intent and mind. wladimir was not more nervous than usual. in fact, i would say he was more relaxed.
sultan was more nervous. much more nervous. especially of wladimir's right hand - which kept sultan's hand up literally touching his cheek nearly the whole fight.
wlad dominated in the ring generalship department - not what a scared fighter does.
so give this bullshit a rest already. some of you sound like whiney little bitches who should get in a ring and get experienced instead of acting like you know what a fighter is thinking or doing.
What kind of martial art do you train?
As a sidekick to boxing, I train Nin Jutsu with a crazy-ass buddy of mine.
I'll tell you right now that the kind of training we go through really makes your mind tougher!
It's true what you say, advanced martial artists have this freak-senses that picks up anything.
Though it has to be said that these people are few and far between...
But when it comes to this discussion, you don't need to be Takamatsu in order to tell that Wlad was nervous, tense and overly protective in that fight.
And I do box, actually preparing for the national AM championship right now.
I have this shoulder problem that's been bothering me for the last 5 years, so I have problems keeping my left up for more than 30 seconds.
I'm really starting to get a hang of this Mayweather-shit because of it though :D
(You can laugh at me when I'm on my ass in the ring, but not before)
More perfectionist than scared IMO.

This again? Ibragimov WAS NOT difficult. PERIOD. Good excuse though..
sultan is very difficult to fight. I dont know how you cant see this. all his opponents look off balance in there with him
Yeah twas the most boring of chess matches.
Not the end of the World folks, LMFAO. Wlad will wreck someone next.
A southpaw like that brought out an ugly fight..........big news. Wlad didn't want to open up to a counter, so he beat Sultan's ass with 1 arm.
it wasn't very exciting, but it was a FOTY candidate compared to byrd/TOS.
you are right - wk will damage the next person. i would not want to fight him next!

I guess yea he could have hurt Ibragimov on many occasions, but Ibragimov is a counter puncher, so he wasn't sure, I can understand that. Besides, I think it's stupid to say Wlad was scared of Iggy.
there were other times when sultan missed with a punch and was off balance where wlad should have let go with some punches. he did the same thing with peter. he should have knocked both guys out. I hope many can instill in him to counter punch when a guy misses with a punch. he really did let sultan off the hook at times but I can understand why he didnt throw a lot of right hands as it would have left him open for counter punches for sultan. missing with the right hand is very dangerous against southpaws
his early fights were exciting but since the brewster fight he has not been so exciting.
looks like he's become too concerned with punching himself out again. thats smart in a sense,,,but he's obviously taking that a little too far ( at least in this fight). of course part of the problem was also sultans southpaw stance and awckwardness. seems like most of his opponents have all kinds of trouble getting there punches off. briggs threw like 5 punches per round,,lol

Fear of getting hurt and fear of failure are not the same thing, but both are fear. We don't know what was bothering him, but his physical reactions told a story. Wladimir does not want to exchange. He wants to be on offense or defense, but NOT exchanging or exposing himself to counters.
Tell me, do you think Wladimir has 100% confidence in himself and his chin?
Hehe, I believe he has majority confidence in himself and his chin, otherwise he wouldn't engage Samuel Peter the way he did. The fact of the matter is that he is a nervous fighter in the ring and needs to learn how to relax. He has the blue print of Manny Stewards tall fighter, but he doesn't yet have the natural ability to relax while in the ring. When a fighter is nervous in the ring they tend to be over cautious. I think that was his problem tonight, he was nervous and conscious about every move he made. You see this wasn't the case against fighters such as Chris Byrd, Lamon Brewster, and to some extent Calvin Brock, but then again he perceived much more to be on the line against Sultan.
YOu can't help me, I am looking for a fight or a lay. And you can't provdie either.
I do both much better than the average bloke. That's not a lie, I can admit when I don't do a thing well.
Edit: but no, I can't help you at the moment
Oy, as if I did not have a bunch of people telling me to do besides you already.
I'm sure you have others, but consider my advice. If you need me I'll be with Laddie talking about football and breasts
The lengths to witch presumptious know it all ball swallowers will go never ceases to amaze..:blowjob: :blowjob: :blowjob:
Good answer.
Wlad didn't wanna take risks. It's called being boxing. Not "fearing" him. :rolleyes:
Then watch ibragimov again.
Then go to a gym and find yourself a shorter quick lefty, then try to throw your right hand against him.
BTW, I was angry with Ibragimov for standing in front of Wladimir and allowing him to initiate so much. This was DEFINATELY not the issue.
Sultan was giving him chances all night long. Period.
