-I only speak for myself. -I enjoyed it more than Crawford/Kilmov and considerably less than Cotto/Rodriguez. -I'm not "Klitschko Fans", I'm the Mongoose, address me as an individual or I won't respond back to you anymore.
OMG here comes the damn excuses. You guys are insane. He is not sick. Povetkin was not standing on the outside letting his hit him. Wlad can't fight on the inside so he has to hold. Povetkin took his right hand away.Povetkin should get a rematch with a ref that will stop the holding and grabbing. Povetkin got screwed over in his own country. That ref was pathetic. Wlad sucks like I've said all along.
They have gay feelings for WLad you can't debate them. They are content with Wlad fighting bums and cheating when someone like Povetkin comes to fight.
-I think I made myself clear that it was indeed Povetkin's fault for putting himself in the position to be mauled and he doesn't have my sympathies. And I don't believe he really has yours. -You are entitled to believe or disbelieve whatever I write.
Great point. WLad has been feeding on bums and Povetkin exposed him for the cheat he is. Povetkin should protest that fight. The ref did not do his job plus Povetkin got charged with 3 knockdowns when WLad pushed him down. Wlad fans are not boxing fans at all.
Povetkin took Wlads right hand out of the fight. If WLad would have fought fair he would have got hit. Wlad can't take a punch and he knows it. Wlad cuts easy as hell too. Wlad cannot fight on the inside for ****. Povetkin knew it so that fight he tried to get inside but Wlad was allowed to cheat. Povetkin done his job. Wlad was to scared so he just holds and pushes.
Trust me Wlad aint fighting Fury. Imagine Wlad trying to grab Fury the way he did Povetkin. Plus Fury has a inside game. Fury is crazy enough to beat WLad.. Wlad will take on boring ass Pulev next. Another fight no one wants to see.
Great point. Wlad can't handle pressure and if the ref would have done his job Wlad would have lost that fight. Povetkin would have ate him alive on the inside. Wlad should have been DQ in that fight. I really think Povetkin should file a protest. Povetkin should get a rematch with a ref that will do his damn job.
In closing... Before Povetkin, Wlad never clinched at close quarters or used rough house tactics...EVER. :rofl Povetkin should have prepared for the inevitable. The clinch is real, and it will get you if you charge head first into Wlad's gut. It suddenly won't become illegal and banned because its your turn against Wlad. I'm past the point of sympathizing with every opponent that gets clinched by Wlad, elbowed by Money May, headbutted by Hopkins..etc. You can't change the enforcement of fringe violations but you can change your strategy. Get the **** over it, Ali didn't beat Foreman by bitching about his pushing and tackles. Also, you may find this shocking but if you get hurt in a fight, your opponent won't hold you up. In fact, if you try to hang on to them, they may even push you off or throw you to the canvas if they are strong enough, I know it's horrible...
Yes, you did make it clear which is a sad indictment of your understanding of boxing. That 'position' he put himself in to be repeatedly fouled against was 'the inside'. He got there using perfectly legal head movement, feints and slips. However, he was fouled every time he got inside and therefore illegally prevented from executing his gameplan. I assume you'd also be blaming him if he was prevented from executing his gameplan because everytime he tried to get inside he was hit with an illegal shot directly in the testicles, because your sole argument seems to be that the person being fouled is the one who should be blamed. Which leads me back to my first point about your limited knowledge of boxing. You are entitled to believe or disbelieve whatever I write.
-Someone who equates a clinch to a deliberate low blow shouldn't be accusing others of having a sad and/or limited understanding of boxing. If you had not been bashing Wlad on these very forums for years, I would guess you haven't watched a fight until last Saturday. -You don't have to tell me that.
You'd have half point if it was just clinching, but it wasn't. Wlad would "clinch" Povetkin and then push his head down, put him in a head lock, dig his elbows into the back of his head and neck to try and injure him, learn his whole body weight onto Povetkins back and sneak a few punches in there while holding on for good measure. He did this on average around every 15 seconds of the fight. The first "knockdown" in round seven resulted from Wlad putting Povetkin in a head lock with one arm, punching and elbowing him in the back of the head and neck with the other, throwing him round by the neck and then elbowing him in the throat. The ref was under strict instructions from K2 not to give Povetkin a chance and let Wlad as he pleased.
here's the presser: http://www.championat.com/boxing/ne...voj-press-konferencii-klichko---povetkin.html I just took a look, 2:22, 5:17, 6:27 The guy is sick, it's not an excuse, just an explanation. He'll perform better next time.
