    Pretty much, he tries to be as objective as he can but just like the rest of us there are some fighters he just doesn't rate and they have to do more to convince him than the ones he naturally likes who often haven't proven much.

    On this, he's right in that it was a very good performance but he never takes into account the standard of opponent. Leapai is not a top 10 HW, he may not even be top 15.

        It was the best I've seen Wlad, I think. He was much more aggressive than usual but still didn't waste any punches. That's exactly the way he should be dealing with the bums he keeps getting fed.

          Wlad actually showed some other tricks in his bag this fight and stil was able to control the distance. Beautiful work

            Leapai showed heart, but was really a slow moving punchbag. Wlad tried to get him out of there early - detonating big right hands - and it was a lovely KO finish.
            Like I told you yesterday

              He has guys like Miguel Vasquez and Leo Santa Cruz over them on his P4P list. I'm not even joking.
              It's easy to hate on those on top who seem unbeatable. Hating is relative to the level of accomplishment.

                Yup, just like crold does. Pitiful for this in journalism.

                  Who do you feel would have won out of Leapai and Chuck Wepner?

                    With Wlad it's the pretty much the same. He respects Vitali much more than Wlad, but he did made a few very good comments on this one.

                    Lateral movement is one of them. I only realised it later after the fight, but Wlad is moving incredibly well for 38 old, 250lb guy. I don't see the guy who can effectively defend against his jab, straight right and left hook. He can take you with either of them.
                    Vitali, in my opinion, deserves more respect as a fighter. I just hope that Wladimir will throw the same variety as him.

                      He did look amazing and showed some new stuff, even went to the body but I couldn't help but think, "this fight would be over if he would just shoot the uppercut". Leapai was a sitting duck for it early in the fight but it just didn't happen.
