Is Wlad a Shot Fighter?

[Neuraxis]

I don't think Wladimir is shot BUT i do think he is not championship material and i do not think he ever will be. The way he tired in the Brewster fight was pathetic, he burnt himself out by trying to knock out Brewster from round 1. Getting beaten by Corrie Sanders was one thing but getting beaten by Lamon Brewster lost all my interest in him and therefore i cannot take him seriously at all as any kind of a threat. Vitali on the other hand is a respectable fighter who is championship material. I find it very ironic that a few years ago everyone thought Wladimir was the best because he excelled faster and looks more talented but it's only a matter of time before fighters get exposed. The sad thing with Wladimir is that i think he is more talented than Vitali boxing skills wise but seems to lack stamina and a chin. Who knows i may be wrong, perhaps his problems are mental but either way he will never be a successful champion.

Which is exactly why many people think that he is shot. He threw way more punches against Mercer, took more punches in return, and never showed that he was tiring at all.

Wladimir threw many punches at Brewster, and aggressively pursued him immediately when the fight began. I think he threw almost 70 punches per round. I don't think that sounds like someone who is mentally shot to me.

He is mentally shot, when he had to make up some bs about his loss. When he cant realize what went wrong and what he is gonna do to make sure it dont happen again. From now on he is gonna start breathing heavy and he is gonna think of brewster and he is gonna start thinking did they spike my water again etc. And boom down he is gonna go again cus he wont have focus.

Why is he shot? He looked absolutely brilliant in the early rounds against Brewster and was on the verge of stopping him before running out of gas. He isn't shot in my opinion.

He looked brilliant against Brewster, former Etienne victim, for a few rounds....as he should have.
But he collapsed when the man didn't go...memories of Corrie sanders running through his head.
He now knows he doesn't have what it takes when things get tough.
He will fold faster in the future.

Where were you when Corrales dropped Freitas for the 3rd time? I wish I knew what Freitas was thinking, and a psychic would've come in handy. The thing is, you have no idea what he was thinking. For all we know, Wladmir could've been thinking about how Flavor Flav is funny on "The Surreal Life". Honestly, how many heavyweights not named Lamon could've withstood that barrage Wladmir was dishing out?

I have seen fighters, many of them, deliver more sustained & vicious beatings, over a long period of time, than the one Wlad was giving to Brewster.
Have you ever boxed, Asian one ? If you have, at some point you face a crisis...if you tense up, watch how quickly you tire...how ineffective you become.
This is what happened to Wlad.

Another thing....REAL fighters maintain their cool & some technique when hurt, pressured, or tired. look at Wlad in his fights with Sanders & Brewster....once he was in the least bit of trouble...his punches & defense became pathetic.
That's **** that cannot be taught....you either have the instict of a fighter, or you don't. This guy doesn't. He's well-trained & athletic. You can get by with that until crunch time. That's when this boy gets c-r-u-n-c-h-e-d.

The proof is there...he's been stopped 3 times already !

Yes I have boxing experience. I am an amateur with a 15-0(9 KO) record. I was the 2003 125 lb. Diamond Glove Champion. I have been fatigued in the ring, but thats where all that respect you earned in the previous rounds pay off.

Frontrunner? The guy isn't even top 10! That's like saying you're a front runner if you are a Brewers fan.
