Teddy Atlas on Wlad

[theironone]

I'm going to go rewatch it when I eat lunch. He didn't have a stamina problem for this fight though.

I didn't say he did, but he has in the past then the bull**** excuses for his last loss, and no-one before has mentioned it LKO11(well not recently anyway), but that was down to a stamina problem.
Just thought it was a nice point to bring up since alot of people are putting on the little klit for his stamina, i think his biggest problem in his glass chin.

I feel there is no way Wladimir lost the fight or that it was a draw yesterday. Which round did Wladimir get outboxed? It should have been unanimous decision. Wladimir earned his win yesterday, it was not given to him. Wladimir did not fight his best. Yet he still beat a good fighter who had a good night, a top 15 fighter with a big punch. Williamson is very tall and quick, with long arms. Williamson is better than Brewster and Ruiz. I would love to see Williamson fight Toney. How would Toney fair? Wladimir showed great heart when he came back very quickly in the same round. Wladimir showed great stamina too.

Williamson is only in the Top 15 of one federation of the major ones. It's by the WBC who also has Tyson ranked and he's won one fight in THREE YEARS!

Williamson's a bum.

For starters, the round where his ass went down on the canvas...but hey, that is just a haters opinion.

I guess the Showtime announcers who work for the company who bought Wlad's services for this fight and made it the main event are haters too, becaue they were not complimentary at all after the fight. Wlad may have to start opening up for his brother's fights - if Vitali isn't going to start running. I just saw he's pulling the Williams fight...

And what's up with Wlad not being able to answer a direct question? All Jim Gray asked him was how was his head. I guess we'll never know...

And this glass-chinned robot's supposed to take over the HW division? Hahahahaha!!! Pathetic. I say give acting (deodorant commercials) a shot or go down to 4 rounders and fight the likes of Butterbean and other circus freaks.

Wladimir does not have a glass chin. I am certain he doesn't. He would have been knocked out like Roy Jones or Lennox Lewis by now if he had this. Wladimir has never knocked out. History knows this, and cannot be rewritten.

Corrie Sanders knocked Wlad down 4 or 5 times. If the fight hadn't had been stopped, he would have been out cold very soon and possibly heart very badly.

Are you certain of this?

Tell this to Ali, Roy, Merser, and Foreman. They'd kick your butt right away.

Olympic boxing was quite different in the 60s than it is now, and was for the last few games.

First, they didn't have the computer monitors that will count even the lightest of blows as a punch.

I said it before, and I will say it again, it's not that Wlad doesn't have the heart, he doesn't have the conditioning. Take him down to 230 and he'll be able to sustain himself in the ring.

Williamson, to me, was fighting the perfect fight. He was keeping Wlad moving around the ring, and the ring was huge. Wlad was starting to show sings of tiring by the 3rd round. The knockdown in the fourth was as much from tiredness as it was from being off balance. His flurries afterwards didn't help him at all. He would have exhausted himself by the 7th or 8th had he kept up the same pace and likely been knocked out.

The headbut was the best thing that could have happened to him in that fight. It's the only way he was going to win that fight.
