I am sick of "Let's Play It Save"

[mECHsLAVE]

Wlad beat the **** out of Peter, to the point of Peter staggering around in the last round with blood pouring out of his mouth and nose and his face grossly swollen. Holding doesn't do that, geniuses. Those right hands he was dropping on him all night did it.

Wlad tied up when they got in close or when he needed a rest, choosing to land and circle from the outside. Exactly like Ali fought Frazier and several others. It is nothing like Ruiz or any others who hold and then hold and then clinch some more and then jab and then clinch again. Wlad landed an insane number of power punches through the fight and held when he felt uncomfortable on the inside. A smart tactic which led to him dominating the fight, other than really one round with the one legit knockdown.

Nobody questions his ability to dish out. He, as it seems to me, is like a school bully: a tall and big guy beating up on other smaller ones, when they fight back he wets his pants.

its like tedddy atlas says it takes 2 guys make a clinch happen 1 guy holds and the other guy lets him its an unspoken deal.

Has anyone mentioned John Ruiz?

[yrrej]

I agree I like boxers who come to fight, but big money spoiled everything.....

[suberstar_zx6R]

On the other hand you got boxers that really fight the best and try as hard as they can. Lamon Brewster, John Ruiz, Hasim Rahman, Joe Calzaghe / Jeff Lacy, Mayweather.

Do you agree with me?

you asked about ruiz

[suberstar_zx6R]

thats why i respect Ruiz he's not fun but he's smart ...don't care for him myself but he does what he needs to do ...my hats off to him for that

more about john ruiz

playing it safe?

if you got the fight won, will give the other guy a chance to steal it away

Right. In football you don't go for it on fourth down when you are winning in the fourth quarter.

If you know you cannot lose the fight on points, why not impress even more by knocking your opponent out?


Gunstar1, great pic. Would have deducted points, too.

most fighters who run tend to be non ko artist

but they make that choice , but I do think its better to be safe than sorry
