Wlad-Povetkin: Here's why there was so much holding

I made one point alone and you have no answer to it.

Holding, leaning, pushing the head down and pushing off with forearms are illegal. Voidimir is doing them 20 times a round solely to

. You are vehemently defending him. Your only defence is to say other fighters did it too. No doubt next time there is a robbery on the cards, you will point to Chavez-Vera to defend the awful decision.

You are a pathetic disgrace who loves a cheating glass jawed fraud. Your credibility is through the floor.

Clearly ESB is not the place to talk about glass jaws as the self-proclaimed #1 chin checker is a pathetic china-chin loving fanboy. You make me sick.

 

The two "knockdowns" in round seven:-(, the first one Wlad put Povetkin in a choke hold and throws him to the floor, the second one involved Wlad climbing on Povetkins back with both his feet almost of the floor and then putting him in some strange simultaneous arm bar/neck choke maneuver before throwing him to the ground. I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like it in a boxing ring before:-(

 

Guys like The Rock and Tyson used create leverage from the ground up to throw shots. Wlad creates leverage to hoist himself onto guys backs.

 

Could Wlad have evaded Povetkin with faster legs? I expected him to use movement and keep Povetkin at the end of the jab.

In other words, is Klit past-his-prime? Is he getting too old? This was a far cry from the highly mobile performances vrs. Haye and Chambers. But to give Povetkin credit, he was alot braver than Haye and/or Chambers.

 

This topic is a pathetic attempt of wladimir fans to justify the dirtiest way of fighting we've ever seen in a boxing match!

 

Wlad needs to stop hanging on like it's his girlfriend in the ring and actually start throwing some punches!

Couple a bums.

 

I agree, it was partly Povetkin's fault. He had no plan "B" and kept charging in, and he was initiating much of the holding.

But to be honest, even as a Wladimir fan I will admit really was holding and pushing down on Sasha too much. It was unpleasant to watch (reminded me of Andre Ward and Bernard Hopkins) and some of it was especially unnecessary in the later rounds when Povetkin slowed down.

Wlad should have backed up when Povetkin bull rushed him, and caught him with left hocks and hard right crosses. He actually did that for a short while, and it was effective and entertaining, but then he went back into the pattern of clinching and leaning.

That's nonsense. :-(

 

i dare you to post this at your other site with the food pics :hi:

 

I thought you said you were not interested in this fight and were not going to watch?

Wlad in jab and grab shocker!

 

Rushing in low like that George Foreman would simply have clubbed him with that low long arm leading uppercut straight down the middle. Fight over.

 

he knocked holyfield down you idiot.

 

I know I'm exposing myself as a "Klitard" here and I'm usually not one for excuses, but here it goes:
