Steward saved Wlad, period.

[El Jesus]

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....

His height and reach didint save him in the brewster fight or the sanders fight. He wasnt lucky at all because Steward could see what Peters best arsenal of punches would be and he prepared Wlad for the assault. I think Peter should probably work on some head movement to better confuse Wlad, and get a new ****ing trainer to actually give him some advice.

Cutting off the ring for one, for two, When wlad was just tossing the jab out with no snap, he should have just ****ing tossed on overhand right. But his corner didint tell him any of this ****. There were times where he could have caught Wlad but his corner didint prepare him at all in my opinion. Peter needs a world class trainer for this ****.

I dont think luck had anything to do with this fight.

peter's way too slow bro..........this is the first time i have seen peter live......before i only saw KO clips...

but he was so slow that all his left hooks, haymakers, etc were well seen by wlad.......

but of course he should have thrown the overhand right......

i think if peter wants to mix it at the top, he needs to improve his speed and agility......so perhaps by dropping 10-15 pounds he could achieve this.........he obviously has awesome power, but if he ain't throwing straight punches, he ain't going to win.....

i don't think i saw peter throw a straigh 1-2 all night...except to the body, which he did well, but should have done more...

so basically if peter trims down 10-15 pounds and improves his speed, he will remain in the mix.........and of course learn to throw a few different punches.

Wlad did exactly what Steward told him to do, and he did it well. Wlad blocked his most powerful shots and while he did get knocked down, he got back up, which i didint expect him to do. Steward's ability as a trainer is just impeccible and combining that with Wlads ability made this a frustrating fight for Peter, so Wlad is back up top.

those knockdowns were bull****t, there was one in the 10th that he might have been hurt thas it, the first one an obvious blow to the head shouldnt have been counted, the second was was a push and Peter hit him when he was goin down, the third was prolly legitimate but he wasnt hurt from it, he simply was going back and Peter caught him lightly Wlad was off balance ran right into the ropes but that was a knockdown the other 2 were bull****t..
After rewatching the fight Wlad faught smart and it was more domintating then I thought, he connected with a lot of right hands and should have finished Peter in the 11 and 12th when Peter was very staggerred but he won anyways very clearly..

They were scored knockdowns, he got back up, thats my point. Im not gonna sit here and discuss which were legit and which werent, the point is, he got back up when i didint think he would, legit or not. When alot of you Wlad fans were getting on Steward saying hes ruining Wlad, or hes overtraining Wlad etc, I'm saying all that **** was wrong. Not that im a Wlad fan by any means. I cant say i really like any other heavyweight other than Peter. And thats only because he hits hard and comes to fight.
