Yes it was but Wlad had a lot to do with that too. There is no excuse for Wlad not taking this fight. He has had 4 damn easy fights in a row. It is time for him to be stripped starting with his WBA belt. If he wants to fight bums fime but it's time for him to lose the belts. He is killing boxing with these pussies he keeps fighting. EIther fight Povetkin or be stripped. The real reason Wlad is pulling out because its a risky fight and he is not in control. I've also heard that Povetkin is going to choose Jay Nady to be the ref and that will be a problem for Wlad. Nady is not going to put up with Wlad holding and will take points away. This fight wont happen guys. WLad is going to duck Povetkin. I look for him to maybe fight overrated Pulev next. But who knows he may fight another unranked fighter.
Yes and it is an even bigger disgrace if Wladimir-Povetkin does not happen because Wladimir only wants to be tested by the german agency!!! I am a fan. But if this fight does not happen because of this bull**** I am not a fan anymore (not that Wladimir gives a **** about his fans).
Listen to this **** from Bouenty. "Should the German agency not be used, "there will be no fight and this is not up for discussion," Klitschko's manager Bernd Boente confirmed to SID, an AFP subsidiary" http://www.news.com.au/world-news/k...ap-povetkin-bout/story-fndir2ev-1226655755028
What's he hiding.. The Russian promoter already insisted on 3 Agencies with the 3rd one being neutral and they still say no. Fight push overs or fighter who he is suited too so he can beat Louis record? that must be it.
Really don't think Povetkin has a chance He got shook by Marco Huck, there's no way he will take Wlad's flush shots
