    Does WLAD have an uppercut?

    I've never seen the robot throw an uppercut. They should reprogram his software.

    Might as well throw in a pair of balls while they're at it.

    The uppercut is certainly not part of Wlad's arsenal. That is not unusual though for a guy that likes to try and dominate opponents with his jab and right hand.

      He threw a couple nice uppercuts against Thompson if I can remember correctly...

        Every Wlad fight is a 1-2 festival (occasionally a 1-2-3)

              He used to throw more uppercuts but it's never been a big part of his arsenal and ever since the Brewster fight, he's become much more cautious with his punches so I don't see it becoming a big part of his arsenal anytime soon, he'd be much more dangerous with an uppercut though, Iggy was open to it the whole fight, Wlad didn't throw a single effective uppercut in that one.

                I agree. Don't you think he's a bit TOO cautious though?

                I mean c'mon, this is boxing. Expect to be hit. Really hard. By other HWs.

                  The art of boxing is not to get hit.

                    I think he's gotten a bit too cautious since the Brewster fight but what he does is effective so I can't say what he's been doing is bad. And the art of boxing is to hit and not be hit, he does that pretty well so he's a bit too cautious but it's alright with me, makes some fights duller than they have to be though.
