It’s just that when a guy loses by stoppage to three vastly less-talented fighters, it’s hard for me to say he has a good chin. Then when he has to have a guy almost dead before ratcheting up the action, it doesn’t say a lot about Wlad’s confidence in his own durabilility. Or is he paranoid about hitting “E” on his gas meter? Or could it be a little of both?

I know against Brewster and Purrity that his stamina was his achilles heel. And it’s a fair point. I’m not sure that necessarily absolves him from being called a little chinny, however.

Thanks for your thoughts.
