This time with a referee that doesn't tolerate the holding and clinching stuff. Povetkin looked fantastic against Charr, what a finish! :good
Don't worry about Wlad anymore. Its the end of the road for him when he meets Pulev. Unless he quacks out.
If Povetkin had any success outside of the clinches you may have a point. Ironically, when they weren't tied up, AP got beat up worse.
Already fought him in his country in front of his president. The fight was terrible, Povetkin was helpless and Wlad held too much but still knocked him Down several timse. Lets all move on now.
If Povetkin didn't charge low headed like an hippopotamus, 75% of those clinches wouldn't have been there. And apart from the clinches, he got outclassed by the champ in every single other department. Not to mention that he got knoccked down 4 times, and hurt by Wlad's single punches. If anything, it totally looked like Wlad was just carrying him to not spark his lights off in front of his fans.
Wlad agrees to not clinch/push down on Povetkin Povetkin agrees to not come in low and work on the inside instead of clinch. That would be a good fight in which Povetkin still loses by downhill right hand KO.
Povetkin's mom could be the ref and it wouldnt matter. He got his ass beat and there is no shame in being second best
What difference is it going to make? Povetkin is not good enough to beat Klitchko. Russia's interference in Ukraine will only encourage Wladmir to take his anger on Povetkins and finally shatter his jaw.
The fight was sanctioned by the WBC and that's the only titel Wlad doesn't hold. A Povetkin vs Stiverne match could be happening. There is a thread on here which has a lot of arguments about a Povetkin-Stiverne match.
Yep. Wlad was dirty and took advantage of a crap ref and everything but Povetkin didn't show anything regardless that would make me think he wouldn't get dominated again. He's really good but he'll never be a danger to any non-shot version of Klitschko.
