Povetkin completely demolished Mike Perez and Vlad owned A.P. Now Povetkin fights Wilder, should be interesting. If Vlad gets past Fury and Povetkin Perez...Vlad can retire without fighting A.P.
NO. I don't hate Wlad but that fight was a disgrace. Should have had points taken away, and if he didn't stop, he should have been disqualified.
This KO proves how poor Jennings is , since Jennings was out boxed by Perez and Jennings made Wlad look very average
It speaks to the damage Mr. Klitschko has done to fans that we've all forgotten he was beating Mr. Povetkin worse when he wasn't clinching the life out of him. Wishful revisionism, that's the culprit. If Mr. Povetkin had been winning the fight outside of the bullying, maybe.....but 'twasn't the way it went down.
If Povetkin had the same ref as Jennings had then he COULD beat Klitsckho. I like Wlad, but that fight was disgusting.
Povetkin-Klitschko wasn't pretty but Wladimir got the 'W' and Povetkin has shown himself to be a quality fighter and one of the best heavyweights of the last ten years. Klitschko's stock certainly rises.
I think it's safe to say that Wladimir is the better fighter even though he did clinch alot. DIdn't he knockdown povetkin like 4 or 5 times? Clinch or no clinch that's pretty damn impressive if you ask me!
On paper yes it's looking like a better win for Wlad over time as Povetkin continues to prove his worth, but the fight itself is far from being a shining moment in Wlad's career.
You could argue if the ref had penalised Wlad more for the holding it might have been closer, but Sasha was to blame also. Just get Wilder served up in Moscow, oven dressed turkey that he is.
I can agree that Wlad's fight against Povetkin was incredibly underwhelming, but there's in no argument against the fact that he dominated that fight Also if anyone has a link to the Povetkin-Perez fight be a babe and pm it to me
