this has been done to death, both sides hold water. it's pointless to try and start this up again really, the main flaw is it's hard to gauge where Blade fits in with the mainstream marvel universe when his enemies are mostly all supernatural and rarely interact with the mainstream universe.
blade had just fought morbius and shield agents, 15 rounds isn't to be taken literally (if you want to believe everything each character says though, then the fight is a draw), one sided prep...meaning all his standard equipment, the vampire fluid just happens to be one of the only ways to kill wolverine.
don't skew details to paint your own picture of the fight. when it was stated on marvel to be a stalemate. if you want to say it was a bad fight fine, saying either had the advantage is ridiculous. Ofcourse you think it's good writing when wolverine is able to stand up to Thor, so I'm wasting my time.
Exactly. Logan is tired and isn't taking the fight particularly seriously at all, Blade has prep and a plot device and despite all that, a draw is the best he can do. To say nothing of the fact that Logan could have killed him with his first blow had he not chosen to retract his claws.
I call that a case of not doing well.
Besides, you do realise, don't you, that Blade only said "it was a draw" because he's a cocky guy who's not going to admit to anything else? Let's be frank, humility isn't one of his strong points.
Right, because a fight with Morbius and SHIELD goons is really as exerting as one with Omega Red (you know, the guy whose power allows him to drain strength)
Fair comment, but it's reasonable to assume it was longer than Blade's brief scuffle with Morbius and the goons, which lasted about two panels before one of them dropped him with a dart.
Mr. Hyde once stated that he made Thor tremble. Do we take that as fact, or recognise it for what it was; a boast made by someone arrogant?
I know we all like to stick up for our favourites, but I don't think it's unreasonable to say that Blade didn't come off particularly impressive there or that it wasn't one of his finest moments.

1. SHIELD knew where wolverine was meaning he had ben staying there for a considerable time
2. Wolverine fights enemies and is worn down on a daily basis, he was in no worse condition than he usually is
3. When i say marvel i don't mean Blade, I mean the actual employees, on the website. We should also add that Blade isn't a boastful character and knows when he is outmatched (prime example against Dracons when he asked Hannibal for help and realized Draconis had him dead at the end of their fight)
most people make the assumption that Blade used the vial as a last ditch effort when it is entirely possible the whole fight had the simple purpose of getting Wolverine to move close in enough to use the vial.
