hell i agree with you and if i had to bet the fight i would be on your side easily. My problem is that chin of his that is all. I hate to take a fighter who has a good chance of going to sleep with one shot. Its kinda like Tyson. You knew he was gonna win in his hey day but you always had to worry if he would do something stupid to get disquallifyed. Like the time he almost broke Frank Brotha arm. Or bitting off Evanders ear. I havent seen a lot of Brock but i did see one fight and was not impressed at all. He does have a punchers chance tho
I do not worry about Wlad's chin, not in this fight. In my opinion only one boxer has stopped Wlad, and that is Sanders. And like I said before. Sanders was one good fighter with great assessments, speed, punching power, southpaw, counterpuncher and size. Brock has nothing of that. :nooo:
Puritty and Brewster did not knock Wlad down and out, they drained him, by constant pressure, and eating an amazing number of jabs and right hands. Brock, like most other fighters, don't have chin or the madness to walk that line. :nono:
Brock is not a devastating puncher. He did KO Lawrence good, but hey, Wlad will never be in that position versus Brock. Wlad is very cautious, he jabs and grabs. I don't see Brock land much, and definitely nothing big. And if he lands so what? Wlad's chin is bad, but not THAT bad. It's not like any fighter can stop him by just landing one shoot. He left the canvas versus Peter, Williamson and Pannel, and continued fighting. Like I said, only Sanders has stopped Wlad by punching.
So now, can we completely rule out Brock stopping Wlad? YES!!!!!!!! :yup
Ok then the question is, can Brock last de distance? :mj03:
Two fighters has done it. Peter and Byrd. Byrd did it back in 2000, at that time Byrd was almost impossible to hit, only boxing legend Ike Ibeabuchi had landed anything significant. Wlad did however give Byrd a real beating, and had him on the canvas a couple of times. :box2:
And then Peter. Off course great chin (he has the same father as Ike Ibeabuchi:mj09

. He has taken flush shoots throughout his carer, and never flinched. But it was not only Peter's chin. Wlad was very nervous in this fight, he grabbed and clinched all the time, he never got into any rhythm. But even when Wlad had one of his worst performances ever, fighting scared like hell, he almost took Peter out. Samuel was ready to go in the last round. Lets see the truth. Wlad will not be scared of Brock like he was scared of Peter. Hell no, no one would. And Brock does not have anything like Peter's chin. Very early in this fight, Wlad will get his momentum going, and soon after that, it's good night Calvin Brock. I don't see him survive 6 rounds.:toast:
So now, can we completely rule out Brock lasting 12 rounds? No, because sometimes rounds go by, and for some strange reason the KO never comes. It has happen before, and it can happen again. But is 1,7 (Wlad KO Peter) the greatest value ever in betting history? Hell(ephant) yeah!!!!:Yep:
