I was in the middle of praying to Jesus for a Roy Jones victory when I noticed that the repeat of Klit-Thompson was on, so I thought I'd check it out.
Interestingly, I was watching this in the UK (I was on vacation) and there was an advert in the middle of one of the breaks for a "alcohol free beer". That actually sums up Wlad perfectly if you think about it... he's boxing's alcohol free beer.
Basically, that fight was piss poor. Every time I think it's ridiculous that the 6'2, 220lbs David Haye could have a chance at beating him I just tune in and watch the slow, lumbering **** and realise it isn't that difficult to imagine.
What I really hate is the way he initiates clinches in a way that would make John Ruiz blush. For me, the rules of clinching are as follows - you naturally fall into the guy and get tangled, and do it so the ref splits you up without him having an advantage of the tangle; you do it to clear your head; you do it and carry on working inside. I hate to see a clinch anyway, but Wlad just walks forward and gives 'em a hug for no ****ing reason whatsoever. I mean, what is this - a boxing match or a bumming competition?
Then that ending.... I never knew Bruce Seldon was making a comeback. **** me, that would have made Mario Cawley blush.
Some other random observations:
Wlad "menacing stare" during referee's instructions. He looks like a real dumb **** when he tries to do that. Either that, or he has the look of someone that's just got his ass pumped full of fresh ***** and is worried that it'll leak out.
Joe Cortez - why the Hell is this guy still working??? He warns Gary Lockett - sorry, Thompson - for holding in the eleventh. **** the bed, weren't you watching Wlad the whole fight, you silly ****?
That was just ****ing ****. Now say a prayer to Jesus with me.
