Can anyone explain to me why Chagaev thinks staying at range is going to work?

[GrizzleBoy]

Why isn't he coming forward?

Instead of standing there, right in Wlads range, using all that energy bobbing and weaving, why doesn't he just......................step forwads?

If he's having so much trouble with the jab, why not just stop trying to jump in with reaching punches, and actually put pressure on Klitschko by just making an attempt to keep his head in his chest?

Seriously, when you have a guy as tall and long as Wlad, why are you gonna stand on the outside trying to slip and counter?

cos hes a bum?

[southpaw_07]

coz he wanna get home with his pay cheque

[TredKiller]

this is beyond a joke.

Cuz as soon as he gets inside he gets hugged by a 245 pound fighter that lays on him.

[GrizzleBoy]

Seriously, I'm not understanding it at all.....

For someone who I heard the announcers call "The White Mike Tyson", why did he not once try to keep his head in his chest?

He wouldn't even have to throw punches, just keep at YOUR range and pressure the man for God's sake!!!!

Cuz as soon as he gets inside he gets hugged by a 245 pound fighter that lays on him.

Doesn't matter.

At that range, you nullify the jab and keep the advantage at your side because shorter arms are more effective at that range.

If Klitschko just hugs, at least it will be on him and he'll take flack for it instead of you just standing right at the end of his punches bobbing and weaving without actually stepping forward while he racks up points with the jab.

chagaev should be stripped of his nickname..WHITE TYSON???? hahah what a joke

[southpaw_07]

This is what it's all about.
Wether he wins or lose, gets KO'd or quit, he get the same amount on his paycheque. That's all that matters and you all could see that in the fight, he gave up before the bell rang for the 1st rd

I dont really see Chagaev standing at his range, only when hes against the ropes. You're not giving enough credit for the "robot" having great footwork. Every time Chagaev moves to him Wlad is moving away and jabbing. Every time Chagaev is moving away Wlad is moving in range and jabbing + straight right.

And as for boring. Has there ever been a 1 sided fight that was exciting? No. If you're 100 times better than your opposition its not gonna be fun to watch. Its gonna be a beat down. Which is what Wlad delivers every fight.

Its like Winky vs Trinidad. Boring ass fight. Doesn't mean Winky sucks. Infact it's probably one of his finest performance. If yall don't realize Wlad has become a master of executing the sweet science (hit and not get hit) to a T then go watch UFC.
