People always bring up Wlad being wobbled by a jab. Guess what? It's true. But that doesn't say anything about him as a fighter. Did any of you see the size of the guy who wobbled him with a jab was? These are super heavyweights. Punches have more effect in this weight class than any other. I've made guys I've sparred with do the stanky leg because of a jab. A jab can be a power punch. Doesn't happen often but when someone over 240 lbs throws it and it lands clean, it's damaging. Rios wobbled Alvarado with a jab in their second fight...which Alvarado won. The logic used (or lack of) on this site when talking about fighters is amazing to witness.

Klitschko will very soon start to pay the price for overrating what he is. He better humble himself again. Cause Fury and Povetkin are not guys tojoke around with, especially the latter.
Here's the video :

We don't know T sreet's sources so it must be taken very cautiously

Wlad could have won that fight cleanly and got all the accolades, but the fact that he fouled so egregiously soured what little good work he did do.

Originally posted by It's Ovah View PostHe knocked him down cleanly just once, with the left hook in the second. The three 'knockdowns' in the seventh came respectively from a throw, a push and a throw/elbow. The last one was blatantly not clean yet was counted anyway by a ref who should have had his licence revoked for either corruption or incompetence.

Originally posted by BWC View PostI just don't see it. 50 rounds of hard sparring between Wlad and Wilder in Austria didn't produce a Wlad KO, why would a fight? People have a knee-jerk tendency to dismiss Wilder but the guy has already trained in Wlad's camp and gone rounds with him. That's waaaay more than most can say. When Fury gets into that ring it will be the first time he's ever been in a ring with him. Wilder has more experience boxing Wlad than Jennings, Povetkin, and Fury put together.
Wilder can content himself with having gone fifty hard rounds of sparring with Wlad and count that as a victory if he likes. Meanwhile he's getting rocked by Molina and giving Povetkin a three mile wide berth.
