Just wrapping it up now.
Honestly, Wlad is the most cordinated big man i've seen in a long time and even though he didn't KO Wach, it was a clinic. Wach has a chin made by gandolf in middle earth. and other HW hit by the shots he was for as long as he was, dead. imo.
Wach after this I doubt will be the same fighter. Dude is going to have some major brain damage. I don't know what else he could have don't to take Wach. Wach was a beast at taking damage. Wow i thought it was a pretty exciting fight!
Ibaebuchi-Tua but that was both guys eating bombs not a straight beat down.
Yeah but they would also dip their heads down bracing for them... their necks are thick... too bad Ike was a nut...Tua could have done something but he was really one dimensional vs Lewis.
I would say that's a good comparison though. Some guys have it for sure.
it was beatdown! The only other guy in my time thtai have seen take shots like that and not get KOED was that guy Kessler fought Librado Andrade. turned out he has a glass body though.

I think Wlad could have stopped had he went to his midsection more, even the strongest chin can crumble when a guy mixes body with head shots.
That said Wlad was dominating and throwing to the body does open up the head, and really the only way Wlad could lose was to get caught so I get why he didn't (and really doesn't go to the body). Still it is not like he sold out to stop Wach even if he put a bad beating on him.

Watching the post fight discussions with Steve Bunce, Frank Maloney and tim witherspoon are just taking Wlad apart. They are just talking utter nonsense.
what did they say? I honestly thought that was a really good fight? besides getting a KO what else could have he done? He looked really comfortable, threw flurries at points landed a pin point accurate 6 hit combination... wow the bar must be really high like really really high.
wach didn't even cut! WTF!?!?!

Yes. For some reason he followed it up with a hold.
It looked like Wach was talking to him around round 3. i wish i knew what he was saying? I mean what could you say when you've landed nothing for 3-4 rounds previous to that...? I wouldn't trash talk a guy who is landing at will... smh.

I really think Wlad could and should have taken him out by following the 1-2s up with a left hook.
Wlad got his Ali movement on for a few rounds. Entertaining.
Had he gone for the midsection with the straight right, he might've gotten him out of there. His chin was too strong, the body not so much.
I was thinking that but honestly i think that dude's chin is made of something inhuman. Any HW in any era would have been koed, that dude has an amazing chin.
I was thinking once he backed him up against the ropes i would have thrown a straight to the body when he was rocking back leaving it wide open. That was literally the only shot i think could have made a difference. i think head shots are useless. i just wonder what wach will be like after this...
