Where you suprised with Wlad throwing the uppercut

he does it occasionally, just not as wide.

I think it missed though, lol.

I was overall more surprised how much he went after the TKO in general. he hasnt done that sort of thing since his younger days.

kinda yeah

he should have thrown more of the corkscrew punch IMO...

I thought he may try it out as it's the punch Peter is the most vulnerable to. McCline nearly KO'd him with an uppercut, despite Peter eating every right hand from Wladimir in their 2006 fight. He seems to withstand straight punches very well.

Wladimir's uppercut was far from refined, but he made good use of it in finishing off Peter in the 10th round, although Peter was a sitting target by then. I doubt it will be a mainstay in his arsenal though. An uppercut off a clinch like Lennox Lewis's would be a great weapon for Wladimir to use.
