"Wlad got old overnight" putting this BS to bed

[intoccabile]

And he also had lackluster fights in his absolute prime.

But his punches didn't lack mustard.

But his punches didn't lack mustard.

And neither did they in the Fury fight. But if you think a guy who's been missing and been busted up for 11 rounds and still has the same energy in the 12th after playing catch-up, you're mistaken.

Punches tend to lack mustard when you arent sure if they are going to land.

Interesting.

Wlad's output through the years:

2005 vs. Peter: 523
2011 vs Haye: 509
2012 vs Wach: 693
2015 vs. Jennings: 545
2016 vs. Fury: 231

Somebody interpret these statitics.

Nobody is saying he hasn't punched more in his career

All of those were either small or static targets. Anybody can punch at a guy like Wach 500 times over 12 rounds.

So what is your interpretation of the numbers?

Yeah I'm not buying the old over night ****. Wlad is a consummate professional and A win for him over Fury was given in most peoples eyes.

He just came up against someone bigger, longer reach and faster. Fury negated Wlads work, so it worked against him.

Simples..

I think Wlads only chance in the rematch is getting Fury out early, the longer it goes on the more Fury will dominate again in my eyes.

Fury shut him down, Wlad was scared to through for fear of being stopped with counters.

[BattlingNelson]

Fury shut him down, Wlad was scared to through for fear of being stopped with counters.

So a drop of roughly 60% in punchoutput occurred because Wlad was scared?

Ok.

Ok.

Wlad could not get his shots of without being countered. I mean he was trying, he was coming forward trying to press Fury but it just wasn't working. Was it an exciting fight no, both fighters are not exciting in my eyes.

No on gets old over night however, its a steady decline. Has Wlad declined over the years yes, but to a point where people give for an excuse to why he lost no!

No one was saying Wlads to old before hand or, his punch out put over the past few years is going lower and lower. It was just this fight, and because he struggled and it showed as he lost.
