Originally posted by It's Ovah View Post1. Defence: he keeps his left hand down too low and doesn't possess the defensive awareness to slip enough of the punches thrown at him. The Chris Byrd fight that fought Wlad the second time had a similar but better defence and was still getting caught like crazy.
2. Tendency to get pushed back into the corners. We all saw what this accomplished for Eddie Chambers and countless other opponents. Wlad won't let you leave the corners and will continue to tee off on you with his jab right hand.
3. Still goes too wild with his overhand right. Whilst he did a good job of using it as a good counter shot to Ruiz jab, he can't expect to catch the taller Wald so easily. He also needs to work it off a jab better, not just throw it from out of leftfield and hope it lands. Lamon Brewster in the second fight tried to do the same and just ate a load of jabs for his trouble.
4. Don't take rounds off. Haye took his foot off the pedal quite a few times in the Ruiz fight allowing Ruiz back into the fight. If he does this with Wlad it'll spell disaster. The more confident Wlad gets the more relaxed he becomes, the more relaxed he becomes the faster and more accurate his hands get and the more dangerous he is for his opponent.
5. Don't rely on the ref. If a Wlad fight ever happens it'll most likely be in Germany where Haye won't have any hometown advantages. Any rabbit punching or the like would probably result in far harsher penalties and a possible disqualification.
