Wlad surely wouldn't be that easy to beat? He has a slight height advantage here and a great jab, even if both men have an 81 inch reach, wlad would stylistically cause bowe problems. I do favor bowe here, but it would not be that easy.
if a skilless, lazy slug like Samuel Peter can drop Wlad three times, a fighter with actual talent and skills like Bowe should definitely be able to get to him If an absolute bum (and smallish heavyweight) DaVarryl Williamson can get to Wlad, Bowe would do it in spades Wlad is a little girl... his reaction to even the slightest resistance is backpedaling, panic and clinching... He exists only because of the shittiness of the heavyweight division... his brother is tough and good, Wlad is the beneficiary of horrid, chickenshit opponents Virtually any halfway decent heavyweight with a reaosnable punch and the gumption to use it would knock him out... Bowe, a 6'5 heavy with talent and power, who was skilled at fighting on the inside, is not subdued by a guy whose only effective tactic against aggression is clinching
Now..now...let not go there. Wladimir apologist would say he tired himself out on all his defeats..that will not happen here. Bowe will outbox/outfight/out-skilled Wladimir...no chance...none. 4 rounds or less...
Wlad climbs off the canvas twice to stop Bowe in the 9th. Bowe was a bully who feasted on much smaller guys, inexperienced bums (Gonzales) or over the hill punks. First time he met a guy his size at had some skill he almost lost twice (Golota). Wlad would be too much for him.
