Steward saved Wlad, period.

[riz]

yeah but also, he fougth smart
he got lazy with the jab in RD 3. but he jabbed his way to victory. kinda like a see saw HW battle of wright and tito. the heavy puncher and favourite jus couldn't get thru

[[[To me manny is the only reason Wlad fought so well...he looked like a white..bigger ...less skilled yet very good Lennox impersonater.]]]
=========================

Manny hadn't really done squat yet. Wlad was much more skilled and talented than Lewis was and acheived more at an earlier age before Manny ever came on the scene. He stumbled the last couple of years, but he's only 29 and just handled a fighter who would demolish Byrd, Brewster, and Ruiz. It remains to be seen if Wlad can finish as strong as Lewis did, but tonight was a good start to a strong finish.

Proved he can hold and that his chin is shaky.

proved that his back of the head is shaky


peter punched him on the back of the head SO much


come on, man, I think you REALLY HATE Wlad


and I can not explain why you HATE him so much

[InThisCorner]

Rodgers, why are you still here? It's obvious no one enjoys your company. I suggest you go back to predicting football games cuz you SUCK at predicting boxing.

I think you also proved alot of things tonight. You proved that your a moron. You can't let things go, and that you're just a hater...I think you just have a thing against white guys.

Either way, **** OFF and pay your debts.

...without stewards gameplan and training Wlad wouldnt have won this fight. Im not trying to take away the fight from wlad, because i cant, he fought well, but frankly WITHOUT STEWARD he would have lost this fight. You honestly think without his guidance and training he would have beat Peter?I honestly dont, did you hear the advice he was being given? It was ****ing perfect. Wlad is a great athelete and a great boxer, but im sorry, nobody could have prepared him the way Steward did.

The major problem as I see it is ot that his chin is so bad but that his defense is weak(er). Lewis had the suspect chin but locked down defensively anytime he was in a pressure fight. Tua, Tyson, Rahman rematch. He knew he was vulnerable and ensured that he didn't get caught. Klitschko (Vlad obviously) was the closest to really penetrating his defense when he was bringing his A-game.

what a **** that you thought it was neccessary to create an alias account merely to push your anti christian beliefs without being tagged as Christ hater or killer.

I was and still am a faithful Wlad fan. However, why is he fighting anyway? He and Vitali already said that they wouldn't fight each other for the belt. Unless Wlad is just there as a saftey net if/when VItali loses to scoop up the belt? Hmmm...

[moochi]

well that was the obvious.........but what really saved wlad was his height, reach, and peter being too slow and one dimensional.......

yes wlad did listen to steward, but overall i think wlad was ****e and was very very lucky.........peter was so slow man and very one dimensional and wlad JUST got through....
