Well of course that was the reason. If his name was westernized to "Vladimir Klychko" then nobody would call him "klit" because that wouldn't be the shorter form. But at least the Germans didn't change his name to Waldemar Klitscher.
Re-watched this again properly today. Horrible decision. Absolutely disgusting. Sweet FA will happen though. It's the typical post fight anger which soon dies down once the next story comes along and diverts interest. Gutted for Chudinov.
Sturm speaking in Serbian was him thanking his Bosnian fans and he said that he'd like to fight in Sarajevo.
It has always been that and will always be that way.Nothing will ever be done because the boxing world does not really care about stuff going on in Germany. Even more disgusting than the decision is the German broadcasting.They act like Sturm rightfully won.In the 21st century this just seems unbelievable in a democratic country like Germany. The fight was not even close.Sturm got outworked.116-112 would have been about right.of course it is not the first controversisl decision Sturm got.Yet still crying about DH fight he is.:rofl
Says the self described German named 'therussian' Missed this one, have to catch it on YouTube but from all accounts it was a robbery.
