both look in tip top shape though wlad deffo looks smaller than usual which i suppose is a good thing

[Boxerdog]

That is the best I've seen Wlad look in a long time. The only thing that causes me some concern is an excessive 160 pounds or so behind him ...in the form of a "past his usefullness" Manny Stewart. I had really hoped that he would have been let go from the brother's team by now.
Still believe that he had more to do with Wlad's last loss than the opponent.
You HAVE to monitor your fighter's stamina and advise him when to quit throwing bombs!

hmm

Didn't Manny do just that in that fight? Didn't he tell Wlad he needed to slow down. I'm pretty sure he did but who knows. In any case, Wlad had fought at that pace before and was fine. Look at the Mercer and McCline fights.

I don't remember him saying anything like that during the Brewster fight, but I do remember him saying something along those lines after the 4th round of the TOS fight, which is what you may be thinking of.

Vlad can pace himself, or go full-blast...
Vlad can throw rights, or throw lefts....
Vlad can try every trick in the book....

but he'll never have a chiny chin chin, and if this Castillo character is willing and able, he'll destroy Vladimir in less than 6 rounds

Ross Purritty can't punch, he had to wait until Vlad's gas tank was on "E" until he could fire back.....Brewster CAN punch, so he only needed Vlad's tank to be 3/4 empty before dropping him like a sack of potatoes

You are right, Wlad didnt run out of gas, IMO. I hold to the theory that there were outside influences that did not want him to win. There was simply too much money to be made if Brewster were to win, and so King, or the Mob, or possibly both, made sure that he did. Simple as that. And if people dont believe that things like that happen in the world of pro boxing, where judges decisions are bought and sold all the time and referees are paid to be biased (we've all see this), then they are truly ignorant.
