    I like VK but his last fight was a terribly boring fight.

    Wlad actually is the worst fighter to watch, its not like 1/2 of his fights are boring, most of his fights are boring(consistently), even when he knocked Brock out the fight was pretty average before the KO, infact i think im right in saying that Wlad was even getting booed in when he won the gold medal at the Olympics



    Wlad, nice man, poor fighter for entertainment value.

    Im relatively new to boxing and from America. The first fight I had ever seen on HBO was when Wlad blasted Chris Byrd back in 2006 and have been a fan since (Chris Byrd's wife was so annoying, screaming the entire fight). Ill admit Wlad vs Iggy was lame as hell but I dont think it warrants a ban of the K bros and their 90% KO percentage. Sounds more like politics to me.

    It's not a ban. They feature the brothers and barely anyone watches. They've faced three US fighters in their last fights and only one was screened on US TV. And it was as dull as ditch water as fat Arreola stumbled around eating Vitali's jabs.

    They just don't make for good fights to watch, good as they are. HBO want to make money, so if the only thing that could drive interest is a fight with Haye, then that's their choice.

    But it does prove Haye's bargaining position is better than Klit nuthuggers would have you believe.

    I personally enjoyed watching that fat tub of lard being dominated for 10 rounds, sort of a sadistic thrill for some I guess, boring to others. I especially enjoyed it because HBO was promoting it so heavily in favor of Arreola.

    Well, seeing Arreola taking a pasting was entertaining, same as when Adamek whupped his ass. I also enjoyed Vitali kicking the stuffing out of Sam Peter. But it wasn't a good fight.
