Its simple. Wlad didnt want to get hit with anything big cause he knew it was his only chance of losing, so he beat the piss out of Sultan with a strong jab and a few strong rights. He could have ended it if he had tried at any point, but he didnt want to take the chance. Manny said before the fight that Sultan was the best fighter Wlad had ever faced, so maybe they knew a reason to be careful. Wlad won every round outside of the first round and he will unify without many problems. He has 44 KO's in 53 fights. People shouldnt ***** about him be careful once in a while.

Judging from what Steward was telling him in the corner in the last few rounds, I doubt that theory is correct, in fact a spectacular knockout victory would have helped him with the public and could have pushed for further unification fights.Last edited by Silencers; 02-25-2008, 02:53 AM.Comment

I can agree by the mid to late rounds Manny was all but begging Wlad to just take him out, but I dont think they were expecting the fight to be as easy as it was. Wlad isnt going to risk a knock out loss because he needs to unify and keep winning for a long time if he wants a legacy that can look past getting koed by some guys that should have never had a chance. Look at Lennox Lewis, he isnt remembered as the guy who got koed twice, he beat the **** out of the two guys who beat him and went on to dominate the division. I think Wlad has the same plan, and getting KOed by Sultan wouldnt help that.Comment
