how to conquer wladimir's foul techniques?

Strictly work the bottom portion of the heavy bag in training camp. Get your low blows tight. Hard work and dedication.

 

What annoyed me is how he pushed out of clinches and dropped AP 3x and then suddenly forgot the killer instinct and never once really went after AP like that again

 

Bomber is on the money with his strategy. As I stated before the bout Alexander just did not exhibit the style/skills to overcome a taller and bigger opponent. Alex kept throwing his hook as a lead but not setting it up so it was constantly blocked. He looped his right so it always came up short. His hands are slow so no quick counters....everything was predictable, all punches were seen before they were thrown.

An opponent needs quick counterpunching ability. Wlad leaves his entire left side open when he jabs so one needs the speed and reflexes to counter quickly when that opening is given. Another big point is why walk straight into Wlad? Does any fighter know how to side step around an opponent, circling left and right for an opening anymore? This is basic boxing and instead Alex wails away at the air with wide hooks (does anyone know how to throw a left hook anymore), walks straight into his bigger opponent who then holds him for dear life. Watch how Joe Louis had led big hwts like Carnera. Side step, feint, look for openings and have the quick reflexes to counter when clear openings are given.

 

Agreed..but you have to keep in mind that Povetkin is one of the most decorated amateurs ever and clearly is a good fighter.

Though Wlad caught most of the looping shots, he did get his flushed a lot.

Did I want Wlad to take a step back or take a side step and continue his assault? Of course.

Did I want to unleash the right hand more? Of course.

But I have been following this game for a long time and I am not going to just **** on Wlad when he went to an undefeated, iron chinned fighter's home town and completely destroyed him.

 

Until the get hit in the face.

Every single casual fan has no comprehension of Wlad's hands.

 

pretty much this :yep

 

hit him on the chin before he latches on like a leech.

 

Haye did that and look what happened

they fight in the eastern block for a reason

 

I am a realist. Wlad could only get away with it for as long as the ref let him. Which seemed to be eternally. Povetkin needed to come up with some kind of answer, as opposed to just continually walking into the same problem. Whether that answer was fouling(which seemed to be his only realistic option) and daring the ref to turn around and take points in his own backyard, or come up with a way to tactically neutralize Wlad's hugs, which, let's face it, takes more out of him than it does Wlad.

Wlad isn t the 1st fighter to make good use of a circumstantial advantage. Nor the last. Doesn't make the fight any more enjoyable though.

 

and he calls himself a champion, crapfighter, that´s what he is, he is no better than this. Povetkin was to nice, I wonder what Chisora would have done in the same situation or a prime time Tyson. Shame on you Mr Klitschko!

 

Absolute bull**** and lack of knowledge. Watch Lewis Tyson, Lewis was leaning on Tyson the whole fight and won a clinchfest, finally pushing the tired Tyson to the mat.

 

I would just discretely trip him. Put your leg behind his, and push with the forearm. Every time he clinches, 240 lbs is going down to the canvass and will have to be picked up. A few times, and he'll get discouraged.

Also , you need to get into the ref's head before the fight. Make a huge stink about holding, so that the ref has it on his mind.

 

Golota version that fought Bowe would kill CLNCHKO

 

yeah he was real clean against Huck! :rofl atsch

 

Sometimes if you protest to the ref enough they will start to take notice of excessive infractions. Povetkin nor his corner ever seemed to complain.
