I could see nothing really positive in this fight for Wlad.

He still has decent skills and a potent jab, but he was in against a man who makes Matt Skelton look as quick Sugar Ray Leonard and he was down three times.

He may well get another title shot as there is no really dominant figure out there at the moment, but he is one good slug away from oblivion

Bizarrely, I kept thinking to myself that he would be a great opponent for Audley H who is quick and can hit a bit.

Thats my thought, and thats why I am saying not to count Skelton out of causing an upset, providing he can take the punches I think he can beat Wlad.

Not sure though about Audley matching up well with Klitchsko. I just think it will be a jabbing contest and I think I would favour Klitchsko - plus question marks still raise of Audley's pacing and ability to take a whack himself. He is a big enough puncher to KO Klitchsko, but isn't a huge puncher.

Audley matches up better with Peter and Skelton matches up better with Klitchsko if you ask me.

Peter is crude and limited, those who saw him as this big future star must be blushing. He needs to do some serious work on his conditioning, and shift 10-15lbs at the very least, he's too chunky. For that little loss of weight he'd be a bit quicker on his feet and have faster hands god knows he needs all the help he can get on that front!

Peter could be A-forces next opponenet to beat on.

For a brick out house, I thought Sam moved relatively fast.

I also like his unusual tactic of blocking every single jab coming his way with his forehead, which I think confuses the opposition.

The old im closing my eyes wlad here comes an overhand right tactic worked a treat as well.

Peter is a great mover, what are you all talking about See that little jig he done in the 12th when Wlad caught him with that left hook

Bunce has no idea what he is talking about, when has he ever said anything to give off the impression he does? I cant recall reading one Bunce article and being enlightened about anything.

all eliminator's r 12 rounders.

yeah i wondered why the nabf belt was on the line. i think as long as the fight is in north america, it's eligible for an nabf title.

Ok, I thought traditionally speaking a fight had to be for a title or it couldn't be 12 rounds or 15 rounds? Maybe I'm getting confused, wouldn't be the first time....
