    I love KOs, and Wlad has given me a lot of them over the years!

    Partly because of his one-punch KO power, and also because of his superior technical boxing skills, Wlad is very exciting to watch.
    It kind of was.

        If you want to see a Talented Boxer/Big Puncher that knocks people out....go watch Wlad.
        Mate , KO percentages have nothing to do with boring/exciting. A fight that goes to decision is just as likely to be as exciting as one that ends in a KO.

        I do agree all these complaints about Wladimir is quite ridiculous. He's had some boring fights lately but that's because they were not talented enough to challenge Wlad who had the superior skills. Plus it didn't help that the opponents he faced were awkward fighters.

          I thought the Peter fight was thrilling.

          Thompson and Ibragimov didn't exactly bring it, now did they?

          I want Wlad in with someone who will bring it, and get inside and make him trade.

            Lads who come to fight Wlad not to lose instead of actually trying to beat Wlad makes not so exciting bouts.

            Peter-Wlad was quite entertaining because for all his limitations as a fighter the Nigerian actually does try to win the fight or at least hurt Wlad.

              Not boring but could be more exciting with all out attacks in one round and no grapping when you are the bigger man

                That's how he lost his 3 bouts , mate.

                He got caught by Corrie and ran out of steam against Ross and Lamon because of his all out attacks. These fights are also the reason he learned to clinch. He really didn't know how to clinch before when he was hurt.

                Kid , you were ridiculing Wladimir because of his losses but you say he should fight the way he did when he got those losses?

                Have you ever seen Wlad fights from a few years ago before he changed his fighting style? Have you seen his losses to Ross , Corrie and Lamon?

                If you have , then I don't know where and how you come to your conclusions.

                  Two awkward southpaws in a row, some people might think he's boring. Truth is, most of the time he knocks someone the hell out. And I think the fact that his chin isn't the greatest, makes his fights that much more interesting. You're almost guaranteed a KO one way or the other. I mean if the guy had a chin like McCall, no one would stand a chance against him, and what fun is that?

                    I know you only just started posting so I will give you a valuable and time-saving piece of advice:

                    Do not attempt to debate with Flawless.

                      I'm starting to get that feeling.

                      This is the 3rd thread in the last 15 minutes or so where I have seen him post something totally senseless and beyond reason. I feel he is either just poking fun or quite unknowledgable about the sport.

                      I might take your advice , mate. Much appreciated.
