Wladimir "John Ruiz 2.0" "Carlos Molina 2.0" Klitschko aka Grabimir Clinchko

Agreed 100%

 

Word

 

Agreed!

Ruiz at least had an excuse, he was void of true boxing skill.

Wlad has immense talent but is afraid to get hit, so he clinches everytime he gets a chance.
Just boring to watch.
Not really seeing seeing his boxing skill on display.
His fights are recitals in wearing down an opponent by wrestling him, and only throwing punches from distance when the opponent is worn out from being wrestled.

Boxing needs to do something about this.
It needs to deduct points from fighters like Klitchko who get into a clinch every time he throws 2 or 3 punches.

Watch any of the Marquez-Pacquiao and count the clinches?????

ZERO! Thats how many clinches there were in those fights!

 

:rofl

 

The sad part about it is that its against the rules and referees are not instructed to implement the rules and deduct points to fighters that dont want to fight like Wlad.

Is it Wlad's fault? Not really. I truly think he'd get ktfo by Povetkin if he was'nt clinching like he's doing.
Its boxings fault for catering to fighters like Wlad!

For God's sake, HBO went a string of Wlad fights without televising them.
They televised the Haye fight and now this one.
After this one, HBO most likely will dump Wlad again.

 

I think we have seen the last of Wlad in America. This is a joke

 

Wlad is pathetic, all he does is jab, lean, hold. Can't believe people rate him as an all time great. Can't wait for him to retire, a horrible dirty grappler.

 

How is it possible for anyone to be a fan of this fighter? It boggles my mind

 

Same, the only people who are Wlad fans have to be Ukrainian.

 

Wlad is a disgrace to boxing. The ref Pabon is a disgrace to boxing. Much respect to Povetkin. Dude had heart, never quit and never complained.

 

:rofl:deal Larry is the man:rofl

 

Are you that blinded by hate that you went full ******?
You did notice that in any exchange Povetkin was wobbling all over the place right?
I agree the holding was just stupid and Wlad should have been warned but the holding was also the only thing keeping Povetkin upright.

After every exchange where Wlad tagged him hard instead of finishing him he held him.
Wlad was never phased by any punch Povetkin landed, where Povetkin was hurt so many times....

I do agree we need a better ref that would warn Wlad.

Be warned though that same thing happened in the Peter2 fight as well which got Peter promptly knocked out.
