Is Wlad a Shot Fighter?

[Nautilus]

Manny is an evil person.

like that dude in the Unbreakable

[Explosivo]

Are you implying that Manny drugged Wlad ?

Hey! Another conspiracy theory. Its only a matter of time befre this one catches on.

Conspiracy theories are true a lot of times. An excellent way to dismiss a theory of evil-doing is to call it a conspiracy theory.

I do science for living, and there is an enormous amount of crafty backstabbing and sabottage in there. It would surprise me if boxing had less of that.

Didnt he have Manny when he lost to Brewster and Sanders?

Just against brewster!!!

[Neuraxis]

Well he didnt do too much for his chin... He should have known before that fight that his chin was suspect. IMO he looked a lot worse in the Brewster fight than he did against Sanders and I dont want to hear any "he was drugged" ****.

For some reason I don't like Wlad's new America style. I much prefered the Euro style. And you are right he is batting a smooth .000 with the American style. He just didn't look comfortable with it at all. In a perfect world Lewis would have retired right away and not kept everyone waiting. Therefore Wlad and Manny could have at least gotten in 1 or maybe 2 fights with Manny his style before the WBO title match.

I liked his old style much better, but we saw only one fight with the new style. It may be too early to tell at this point ...

True but it just seems like the Euro style makes it a lot easier to keep opponents off him without even having to throw many punches, ie the way the left is used to measure your opponent. He also didn't seem to get his body into his punches as much with American style as he did with the euro style. Hopefully Manny has at least fixed that.

I felt that Roach had done a better job with Vit and Wlad than Manny does now. Ofcourse, Vit and Wlad know better whom to work with. I wonder if Vit works with Manny as closely as Wlad does.

I will say that Vitali looked better under Roach, but it'd be kind of hard to say that Wlad looked that good under Roach seeing as how I think he only fought Nicholson with him right? Either way Moli wouldn't matter.

You are right. Roach looked better for Vitaly, but since K. Johnson is a very different fighter than Sanders, it may be hard to make much out of that. Did Roach train Vit for Lewis?
