After KOs like that, fighters usually take on a more defensive style, and that's what wlad has done. He has improved his defense tremendously, and thus, has become an even more boring fghter.
I voted no, but you never know. I don't see anyone outboxing him, ever. He's so light on his feet and his boxing ability is on par with ATGs. The only time I see him losing is if he's having an off night, or when he's in his late 30s and slowed down, like RJJ.
Unfortunately though, his fighting style can only be appreciated by fans who know boxing. The casual fan will always question his lack of killer instinct.
ward by decision in a ugly dirty fight the real ? is how many times does AA hit himself in the face w/his own gloves as opposed to ward hitting it
Your post makes no ****in sense. And Armenians are caucasian.
He's right. KO is different. However, Foreman was getting his ass kicked before the KO, whereas Hopkins was winning the fight.
I still take the KO over a decision.
He just needs to fire his trainer, or go train somewhere else, cuz this old dude tells him nothing but "Ahtuh fight, Ahtuh punch, Ahtuh cmon" I mean, he gives him no real constructive advice on what to do and how to adjust during the fights.
If he tells him the same thing during training, well that's just a big waste of Arthur's time. He needs to stop relying on his power so much, cuz he's super slow. He needs to work on his athleticism and fitness more so he can actually box all 12 rounds, rather than cover up for 9 and fight for 3.
Looked like Vanes wanted to finish it in the first round. Came out, uncharacteristically, with a new style, being aggressive from the get-go, and got caught by a slugger. Then he started boxing, picked him apart for 3 rounds, but then again seemed like he was in trouble and almost out of the fight in the 6th. In the 7th, it seems like he just let it all go, it was all heart, he showed the heart of a champion.
If he chooses to box, he can out box anybody. Tonight, he showed he can take a punch, and take a beating, and still come back and devastate you. I think Vanes found out a lot bout himself in this fight, and he will trust himself more in the future. I think he's ready for a title shot.
I rarely post on here, but I made this highlight and thought I'd share with the boxing community.
Sorry not familiar with how you embed vids here.

I couldn't find many HD videos of his fights. But I'll be downloading whatever videos of Arthur there is on this site. But, they're still not HD.
perhaps you should watch the fight again
and again
and again
and again
dirrel boxed AA's ears off.
ward will do worse.
wont be surprised to see AA stopped.
carl froch will get beat by the 44 year old johnson
froch is the least athletic, skilled and coordinated of the group.
Direll didn't box AA's ears off simply because AA was able to get to him in the later rounds and was whooping him pretty bad. Rocked him pretty bad, had him dazed and almost outta there before Andre decided to display some beutiful melodrama.
You could say Froch outboxed AA for the entire fight, but, he too, never seemed to be any closer to stopping AA.
Unfortunately, Canelo and his camp are going to duck Vanes for as long as possible. Vanes needs to win big on a PPV or HBO televised fight. Right now he's really dangerous, but unknown to the masses, whom big name fighters avoid like the plague.
bltch canelo aint ducking nobody,And i mean as vanes as a nobody.
Canelo has a tough fight coming up.Besides top rank and goldenboy are
still not working together even tho they supposably squashed there beef.
said a punk with a canelo avatar. If you got anything from my post was that I said Vanes is not a huge draw yet, even though he's better than Alvares, which is why they will duck Vanes until he can get some HBO and PPV fights in.
That was the weakest and funniest comeback in history. He basically said his fighter will last longer than Saul, but didn't say anything about winning lol.
With that pace Stiglitz was prepared for a 4-5 round fight. If he wasn't going to get Abraham by then, he was going to be done. That's why he went over the board and attacked with his head. A third fight is a must. If I didn't know Abrahams style, I would say he looked bad, but that's his style. He always starts like that and opens up in the deep waters. Only Froch and Direll could outlast that style.
LMAO @either K Bro destroying "Iron Mike", not the 88 version esp Wlad with that glass chin!!! Tyson Ko's Wlad and points dec vs Vitali, you cannot compare opponents - you must be 17 years old son..
Yup. Kids know not what they spew out. Either Klit gets beat by Prime Tyson the way you said.
Tyson just had a really bad "end of career" if you will. He was one of the greats before his time in prison. Prison took about 70% out of him I would say.
Didn't Vanes secure a shot against Alvarez?
Talk about blatant cherry picking for Pac. He fights these 40 y/o over the hill fighters, now he's looking at a 20 y/o inexperienced guy...and he avoids sparring with Vanes, cuz Vanes said he would drop him.
Vanes would ***** slap both Pac and Alvarez.
what fight did you watch dude?
are you denying that Arthur was getting to Andre at the end of the fight? He legitimately dropped Andre and it was called a slip. Ironically, Andre's knockdown of AA was after a push - so it wasn't legit. What I'm trying to say is, yes, Andre outboxed AA until the 10th round, but the fact that AA turned the tables around and was able to get to Andre shows that it was a part of his gameplan, not that Dirrell is the better boxer.
Vanes is bigger, faster, the better boxer. He showed he has heart and power too.
He beats Alvarez easy at this point. Anybody has a puncher's chance, but Vanes is just too much for him at this point.
You dont think his struggles with journeymen in his last two fights might have something to do with that? Add the fact that he has zero fuking fan base and u got the makings of another Paul "Nobody gives a fuk about you" Williams.
where do you get your numbers from? Your hate folder? lol His whole city is behind him, and with a couple HBO fights he'll have a huge Armenian following, similar to Arthur Abraham.
R.I.P.
The man did a great job raising 2 humble human beings who always show respect and have great manners. The Klitschko brothers just come as off as genuinely nice people and that comes from a good upbringing thanks to their parents. My respects go out to this man for doing a great job at being a good father. My condolences go out to the Klitschko family for their loss. At least the man died knowing that his sons are good people and that they cleaned out and dominated the heavyweight division. Not one belt was left!
Good post.
Yes, at least he went out with a sense of accomplishment. But still, it's always very sad going into the unknown. Condolences to the Klitschko family.
no he's not he got a gift vs a past his prime fighter and got owned by saul roman till the little gassed out sorry amrenians have no talent and are too ugly to be PPV stars :owned:
Your parents should be fined $5000, and sent to jail for 3-6 months for allowing you to use the internet...lol.
I guess I was watching a different fight. Direll gave AA a boxing lesson for most of that bout.
Yes, he outboxed AA, WHEN AA WASN'T TRYING TO BOX HIM. When AA turned up the heat in the 11th, Andre was all but outta there. Turns out he was pretty shook after all, seeing all the drama he pulled off, just to avoid the round and a half of doom that was waiting for him.
don't entertain it anymore ronin, AA kd was not a push it was a clean shot, Dirrell started to come off his gameplan and got a little careless. It was a boxing lesson that Froch expanded on and Ward will finish it tonight. That dude does not know what he is talking about. Andre was no where near out of there, nor did he fake anything.
LOL hard at this. W/e I don't care that you Dirrell fans (though I didn't know he had any fans besides his relatives) don't want to admit that your boy was all but done after being rocked by AA's LEGIT KD. You know why I know it was legit? because he was still on queer street, and he shoulda got the 8 count to recover a bit - so it was worse for him that the ref didn't open up the count.
Bottom line - he was done, he ate the AA bomb, he wasn't gonna recover, so he pulled off the melodrama - props to him on his acting skills.
Even he knows he faked, he was crying because he knew it was gonna be hard for him to look in the mirror and say he didn't quit.
Deal with the truth.
BTW I got Ward to beat AA comfortably tonight by UD, but I'm not ruling out some good exchanges.
Freddie is obviously trying to piss off Canelo's camp and make this fight happen, cuz after Vanes' last performance, I don't think he will be rushing to fight Vanes.
Canelo looks like a brawler with no amateur background, and he's quite a bit smaller than Vanes too. Vanes can easily out box him all night. I don't know if he'll be able to stop Alvarez, cuz the kid looks tough. But Vanes showed he has heart on Saturday. It will be hard for anybody to beat him.
no he's not he got a gift vs a past his prime fighter and got owned by saul roman till the little gassed out sorry amrenians have no talent and are too ugly to be PPV stars :owned:
