When Brewster turned the fight around vs Wlad

[neils7147933]

I know, I've said more or less the same thing. Look at how many times he was hit by Sanders, and kept getting up. People only see what they want to see.

Chin and getting up from a shot are two different things.

A glass chin will put you on the canvas.

Ability to bounce back from punishment, heart, courage, stamina, training, etc. will get you up...

...You make a point, but I still have seen more guys with that "****ting their pants" look on their face when entering the ring against Wlad than Vitali. I thought McCline was gonna have a heart attack before he even got into the ring with Wlad.

Only Wlad-McCline I've seen was what was on their website. Didn't include the ring intros.

I think Wlad's "mystique" has been irreperably harmed, though. Not because of Purrity or Sanders or Brewster.

Because of DaVarryl Williamson...

He bounced back up from each Sanders knockdown.

He took all the punishment with Brewster, when he very well knew he's going to loose. If thats not heart I dont know what is.

Who gives a **** if the guy is still standing the point is he was all thru..

Zab Judah probably wasnt half as hurt as his legs made him look against Zoo but he was still all thru.

A bad chin can take on a few different looks but all of those looks have 1 common characteristic which is when you get hit something goes wrong and when Wlad gets hit something goes terribly wrong.

You get no credit for staying up after getting hit with bombs-ask JL Castillo or Eric Harding. Maybe Wlad has an iron jaw and Im just missing it?

I must have misunderstood or chosen the wrong post to quote - I thought someone was saying "why do people say Wlad has a bad chin - he kept getting up against Sanders"

That's where my statement came from.

Wlad has more heart than his brother and more skills. His brother gets to carry a belt around though...

I was truly surprized that he had such a glass chin. Sanders revealed it to the world

I'm just saying that he was stunned by the shots he took from Sanders, but not to the point that he couldn't get up and continue. IMO his problem is that he didn't take a minute to get himself back together before trying to jump right back on Sanders. Sanders has very good power, and I don't believe Wlad's chin is made of porcelain. I don't believe he has serious stamina issues either. He's a big, tall guy, and he's not going to have Joe Louis-like stamina. I'm not saying his chin is made of granite, but to me it isn't as bad as people make it out to be. If anything is his problem, it's his lack of head movement, and his ability to keep his opponents from continuing to land shots to his head when he's been nailed.

I think Vitali would KO his brother.

Wlad has a glass chin?

OKAY!

Sanders could have dropped anyone with that clear left... so that does not prove anything yet.


Look on that gif again...
It took Brewster how many clean shots to drop a gassed out, barely on his feet Wlad. Something that dropped Golota instantly!
And Brewster is not a light hitter.

I'm not saying he does, or doesn't have a bad chin.. I'm saying it remains to be seen. Peter is a perfect test for it!

The only thing you're missing is my point, which isn't that Wlad has an iron chin, but that some people take it to the other end of the spectrum and say that he has a china chin and that he's a bum. You can't just call everyone that isn't a world champion a bum, there has to be a middleground somewhere.
