This fight confirms what some of us have been saying for years. The guy is a solid fighter with some power but he is hopelessly stiff, reluctant to engage and when faced with someone who gives him angles and isn't intimidated by his size and jab, he has no answers.
He only looks invincible when guys hopelessly plod forward with no angles, jab or head movement.

Even if Manny Steward was still with us and in Wlad's corner I can still see Wlad's performance being very similar. Steward would have actually had the methods of motivation he needed in between rounds, but I can't see Wlad actually doing much as a result of it.
Wladimir fights in a way that means he only commits when it is safe to do so. Fury was too unpredictable for him to feel this, therefore he didn't engage. That isn't a trainers fault, it is his.

Roach is not a good trainer for him, he will tell him to be offensive and gets himself knocked out.
Hunter is not bad, but still not good for him, Wlad is not a guy with a lot of movements.
He should stick with Banks. Wlad knows what he has to do, he needed some more motivation not a different trainer. the guy is 39 years old now and accomplished a lot, finding motivation is a bit difficult, and when you knock guys out like he used to he just a bit confident (not motivated). He always had problems when fighting guys taller then him, with a different trainer the result would have been the same.

He is 39. That's the problem. Sure his corner failed against Fury. I don't really care if Banks said the right Things as someone has pointed out. The bottom line is that they failed to get Wlad to DO the right things.
Now at age 39 would thing be different with another trainer. I doubt it. Only thing is if that trainer had some authority that Wlad would respect. Maybe Ulli Wegner.

He cant do it, he is too old and too adapted to this style he is using now.
He could probably do slightly better with that dude who trains Algieri but even then its upto Wlad to change his fighting style. He is a zero risk taker.
