    Its up to Klitschko to protect and defend himself. Weeks clearly did it for him . Don't act like he didn't.

    This.

    Headbutt thrown in frustration because he knew he was losing.

    The point deduction for Fury was a joke as well. Wlad's constant holding never punished.

    It'll be interesting to see if the Wlad holding etc is accepted in the rematch on "foreign soil"

    You mean when he turned his back to Fury? He should have been warned for that and gotten a point deducted yes. But weeks stopping the bout when Fury is aiming at Wlad's back isn't really "saving Wlad". Its more like saving Fury from getting DQ'd.

    Fury punched him in the back of the head. If he didn't I would say wlad should get a warning for turning his back on fury

    That wasn't the only time. Wlad was doing it all night.

    He deliberately turned his back knowing Fury couldn't punch him and that Weeks would save him from combat within wheel house.

    He did it a few times vs Povetkin as well. Its a disgrace. And you want to call this guy a top 10 ATG :roll:

    I've seen fighters instantly DQ'd for similar actions.

    It was in Germany, here in the UK he won't get away with holding and grabbing and certainly won't get away with headbutts, not with the arena full of crazy Fury fans and extremely loud British boxing fans, we are nothing like the Germans here.

    Turning your back is a sign of quitting and any time he turned his back Weeks could have called it.

    Sya what you want about turning your back to a man but the headbutt is right there for us all to see.

    He did. In the rematch Wlad will probably be stopped, at least on cuts
