Wlad was never better

[Simurgh]

I have to agree with Dwyer and rate this version of Wlad as the best version..
I understand that not many would agree, but I share his view on this.

Wlad is a beast!

Dwyer lost virtually all credability a while ago...I honestly used to stand up for him and liked his commentary. He has become ridiculous imo. This is a man who was telling everyone how Mitt Romney was going to defeat ***** in a landslide.

Your in with great company from cong****...He has become a village idiot frankly.

im curious. there has to be at least one posititve thing you can say about wlad as a boxer? for a guy who won a gold medal and is 63-3 as a pro he must have something going for him right? or are you just a hater

Pulev is a c-level fighter,but he made Wlad fight...Wlad tried to come out with a instant lead clinch and Pulev nor the ref would allow it...so he was forced to fight

Wlad looks great when he lets his hands go...but he is also the only fighter i have seen in history who intentionally tries to lead off with a clinch..i do not understand why he does that

[daggum]

38 punches landed and 44 clinches? i guess thats better than povetkin fight which was 120 punches landed and 181 clinches. so he is getting better?

Because it is one of the main parts of his fight strategy, to put his weight on his opponent and drain him of energy.

To the TS - I agree Wlad is getting better and better and this is the best version of him, he is more confident now and takes a few more risks earlier in the fight, which is paying off as he can be devastating. It will be for him to control where that line is though and not become overly confident and aggressive and get himself knocked out. It is always a danger with him.

Wlad would make me think he is going to paw or shoot a jab, but he's actually just inching closer to a clinch.

he clinched 44 times and the ref didn't say anything. how is that not allowing it?
