I can agree on some points, but Povetkin have to be blame as well for that ugly fight that become with Wlad. If you are 2 meter tall, what you going to do, if a fighter with 15cm lower then you charging at you on the waist/abdominal area ? You will use your strengths and crush him, or you will go down and be in his range? Povetkin tactic was id***, he play low all night and referee should punish im as well. Klitschko was just at the center on the ring and Povetkin charging at him all night, and become a hug fest. What exactly Povetkin try to do ? Absolutely nothing. And i will say it again, if it was so easy to enter in clinches mode, most of the guy would use it as non stop tactic. I doubt most of the boxer care how they win, they would care if they win or lose.
Adamek has an hell of a chin. It's rare somebody manages to drop him. I don't know the exact number of times, but he has been on his back rarely, apart from the Vitali fight, but he ate an impressive amount of punishment there, too. Meanwhile Cunningham has dropped Amir Mansour with a weaker punch than the overcharghed overhand he landed on Fury.
A couple of times but it really wasn't that bad IMO. He wanted to get the ko and did what he had to after making a tit of himself by getting dropped in the second. He still would have beaten Cunningham without any dirty fighting. He was land clean shots and getting stronger as the fight went on.
he was on rubber legs for acouple rounds after the kd. he simply laid on and wrestled the small guy with no power, until he tired.
If he's got a weight and size advantage why not use it? He did what it took to win. He knew he wasn't outboxing Cunningham but he was foolish to completely disrespect Cunningham's power, because I think he actually has decent power at heavy weight.
So for Fury np, but when Klitschko do it, then its a problem? When Boytzov and Leapai have more then 100 clinches in their match, but Klitschko vs Leapai have no more then 5 clinches, no one say anything about that? SO Klitschko cant use hes advantage on size, reach, weight ? Klitschko do the exact same thing, he do what is needed for the win. Did you see me to criticize Fury for his game ? No. He just do what is needed. Tall guys have advantage and they use it, just like the short guys has their advantage and try to use them.
The klitschko povetkin fight was ridiculous, an absolute joke. Can't compare that to fury Cunningham.
True because wlad is a safety first fighter now. If Tyson starts adopting similar tactics he will be very hard to beat.
Valeuv could have been the greatest of all time if he fought like Wlad. Fury wont be on Chisora'a back tonight every 5 secs like Wlad done to Pov because he's not a glass jawed robotic bum.
