Video: Wlad final week of camp

Gotcha.....see, this is where you and I differ.....

In the lower weight classes, belts get tossed around like hot potatoes for yrs and yrs and the truly great fighters never seem to stick around the weight they first came into contention. I find that very hard to follow.

In the higher weight classes, especially, CW and HW, you can virtually keep your eyes fixed on 30-35 guys and watch them progress or fade into stardom or obscurity.

 

Lets not turn the question back on me cos you got backed into a corner of undebatable facts.

 

You are questioning weather Wlad commited fouls against Povettin because Pabon did nothing about it.
The stance you take proves you wrong before you even begin.
If he took one point late , why did he not take one eariler or take another one, because he was doing the same **** every round.
He even threw Poevetkin to the ground by a neck lock and got it counted as a KD.

You cannot say he would of stopped because 'he got a point taken' because he did not stop. So only one conculsion is to be made and that it that Lane would of DQ him.
You cannot speak on his behalf personally and say he would of done this or that.
The facts tell the story here.

 

I can say one thing honestly i dont think there was a time in history of boxing that fight for HW title had less meaning, i;m hard core fan but even though i know about this fight its like i forgot it even happening, and we have tremendously talented power punching champion who with all his talent and skill makes every fight impossible to watch.:-((

 

So it wouldn't look so blantanly obvious. He wanted to have some shred of decency left when the debacle was over.

Genaro also took a point in the Haye fight.

Do you honestly think either of them the would ever DQ the cash cow of Europe?

The Brewster ref warned Wlad over and over to stop fouling and when he did , he got blown away , so its very likely he would continue untill he was DQ'd were Lane the ref.
Lane doesn't even have to be the ref. Any neturel ref would of DQ'd him for that performance because he made it clear there was no way in hell he was prepared to box Povetkin.
That decision came prefight. That sort of mugging is practiced in camp. It was all planned and set up from the get go.
With a fair ref , he probably would never of fought him.

 

So is banks retired from boxing now as a fighter?

 

It's absurd to claim that a long reigning experienced champion wouldn't be able to recognize when to stop clinching while referee warning him, not to mention his influence. It's Wladimir Klitschko we are talking about, not Golota.

I've read somewhere that he is now fully dedicated to being a trainer.

 

The fight was such an atrocity that a poor spectator croaked from the horror.
The fight was viewed as a disgraceful foul fest by practically everybody who saw it?
The fight got him nicknamed Grabimir Klincko.
You won't convince anybody he fought a clean fight within the rules and why you are attempting to is all explained in the first sentence of the first you posted in this thread.
