If he had known how to tie up in that fight he may well have gotten through that round. He also took some hard hooks in the Peter fight, one in the last round right before he wobbled Peter. One thing that bothered me in this fight though was that Brock kept ducking in and rushing Wlad and Wlad never threw an uppercut.
    He seriously needs to add the UPPERCUT to his arsenal

      That is one thing I just never understood. Golota at one point was my favorite boxer. But it would mind boggle me why Golota never ever used an uppercut in his arsenal. Now that Klitschko has taken the number one spot on my favorite boxer list, I am still confused as to why Wlad never utilize's an uppercut. Vitali also mever used an uppercut up until he fought Danny Williams. In that fight he caught Williams with an uppercut right before he finished him off.

Other people including me have said his Issues are mental... Lack of confidence sort of thing..
        BUT last night I think I might have finaly figured it out.. He is not mean.. Most Boxers when the get tagged get angry.. Wlad seems to almost get his feelings hurt.. and has a look on his face like "why did you do that?" ... Last night Brock was doing better than perhaps he should have been.. UNTIL it finally seem to DAWN on Wlad.. This is Boxing match.. a FIGHT.. and then HE got mean.. and the fight was over.. Is it perhaps possible that is just TOO nice to be a BOXER...
        I am curious to what People would think of this ..
        please share your thoughts
        Well said!I especially agree on Wlad's mental aspect.Which I actually think is the same case with Roy Jones to a certain degree.Although his reflexes and such have obviously declined.But anyways,Wlad showed a lot of improvement saturday.With the help of Steward maybe he's finally reaching his full potential.

          That definetly one the thing that seperated him and Lewis. Lennox threw that uppercut with bad intentions.

            Of his 47 wins, he has 43 KOs. That to me says he's got the killer instinct in him to be a great boxer.

                That's for sure, he nearly decapitated Wlad's older brother with it.
