Was Wlad-Ibragimov a boring fight? POLL

[HARRY KNUCKLES]

It's between Wlad vs Ibragimov and Tyson vs "Boneclutcher" Smith. Hard to decide.


The 'highlights'.

Most of the heavyweight title unifications have been disappointing.

wlad makes bonecrusher look good!

** Maybe you more the clubfighter type, like Minto/Maddalone.

Graham Houston found it technically very interesting as did many who have followed Wlads career development from 100% offensive fighter to more of a 50/50 blend. With his shaky chin and strange stamina issues, every fight a melodrama. You know you watched just so you could either see Wlad KOed or ***** about him.

Go watch Ali/London, Ali/Coopman, Ali/Young, Ali/Lyle ect if you want to see a boring fight where the opponent either ridiculously weak and under qualified for a title shot or Ali is shot to bits and stinkin' the joint out.


Wlad has set some kind of record for taking out southpaw heavies in title matches. Maybe you ought to go review Ali/Mildenberger to see how a middling heavy contender fighting out of a southpaw stance can take a prime talented, experienced HOFer out of his game and have Ali hurt badly enough to brick Cosell's shorts in the fight.

Iggy a lot bigger, stronger, more durable/powerful/technically proficient than Mildy, yet Wlad was able to dominate him with one hand and footwork. He had help in that Iggy couldn't just wade in with Wlad's right at the ready, he had to pick his spots to wing in his lefty sunday punch. It was a classic chess match that reminded me of Spinks controlling the distance with careful footwork and pawing left hand that would continually snap over Holmes' guard and wreck his timing. Holmes couldn't throw more than a handful of rights in that fight. Brilliant, herky-jerky masterclass that masses of Big Gulp guzzlers and Big Mac stuffing fans have no higher tastes for.

End of the day, gots to go back many decades to see a fighter with more wins and KOs on his record than what Wlad currently sports. He's just too good for you, but always your Minto/Maddalone tape available when needed, and Butterbean/Holmes an underrated classic!

Who are you referring to as big gulp slurping big mac lovers?The fans who find this fight lacking of true Heavyweight excitement or the ones that appreciate Wlads skill but feel as if he could of pushed the fight more and created the slightest bit of entertainment?Just because many opinions from all over the world are different about this fight than yours,it shouldn't of given you the idea to sterotype the certain boxings fans that disliked the fight.

In truth 99% of people watch boxing to be entertained. Yeah maybe Wlad showed some skill but who cares I watch a sport to be excited that’s what its about right? Anyway I wasn’t that impressed by wlad in that fight sure he showed a great jab but didn’t think he showed much else
