How do you counter Wladamirs Long, Hard, Stiff, Penetrating Jab?

[DET. IRONSIDE]

You mitt their jab...turn your left glove the opposite way infront of your face to shorten the jab's distance and at the same time throw your own jab...or you can use your left hand to pound the jab down slightly and quickly come back with a cross then weave to your left because a right hook will try and counter you...

Thats exactly what he does...boring.

How about you run about hugging him?

OR you could get a midget to fight him (probably what Khan is doing)



that way he could run between his legs and perhaps use a trampette to jump up and punch him?

Style wise you need to be someone like Frazier, who can bob & weave out of the way while pressuring Wlad.

The reason why people think Haye beats Wlad is because he's agile and his defense is reflex based. What they fail to realise is Haye's defense isn't good enough.

chageav seemed to frustrate Wlad and stop him landing jabs in the first round of thier fight.

he paws the jab,bobs and weaves,but doesnt actually follow up with any attack.

Chambers managed to get some wide right hands on wlad early on,but he was on the outside still and they did no harm what so ever.

i think to paw and time his jab,duck under step to the side to avoid the big right and follow up by coming over the jab with overhand right and lefts.

it needs fast reflexes,good timing,good footwork and upper body movement.

good quick movement to make him miss,go under and turn wlad to where he is not set to attack with jabs or right hands and is not set to stop any quick punches coming his way by the clinch or leaning.

just to get to the angles from the sides and get in range that way,be quick at dodging punches and countering his jabs and right hands,then get out of range again and repeat till that chin has been hit good.

i think someone who posses the strenght and speed to time the clinches and fight out of the clinches could do harm to wlad.

wlad mainly clinches the head,meaning anyone can just duck under the clinch and swing wild overhands on him while he does that.

he needs a tighter clinch round the body and gripping the arms or else someone will hurt him again soon.

also he leans and tires opponents out,if you can push out of being lent on,or slip it you can get on the inside for a second and attack the chin.

im convinced that wlads plan to stop an adamek or haye,is to do what lewis did to tyson,what steward had lewis do,and that is to lean and put all the weight and sap energy from the opponent,then to use the jab followed by uppercuts to stop the smaller man being able to venture close to wlad.
