    Of Wlad continue holding, leaning, holding, leaning, holding, leaning, holding, leaning, holding, leaning. <<Did I forgot about something? I mean seriously this is a disgrace performance by Wlad. He's done this for 9 years straight because he's afraid of getting hit. Now vitali does it too but he doesn't do way way way too much like his younger brother Wlad does. Lewis holds but he doesn't do o.d crazy holds like Wlad does. Call me haters wlad fans but it's the damn truth.

    Povetkin IMO put on as good as an effort s he was able. I dont think his stock dropped as a result of this fight.

    I don't.

    In Povetkin vs Huck, Povetkin would bend down and lean forward constantly. The only way Huck could throw punches would be for them to be 'rabbit' punches, which he would then constantly get warned for and the action broken up.

    Its somewhat Karma to see Povetkin get some of his own medicine.

    Really this fight was in russia. Won by russian promoters. They get to choose location and REF.

    Haye was able to elude Klitschko, but then he couldn't get inside.

    I agree the ref should do something about it. In general, the sport of boxing needs clear regulations on holding and pushing down...

    Especially for the heavyweight division. You see if Wlad and Povetkin were the same size, the holding and leaning wouldn't be so unfair.

    So either regulate holding or create a super heavyweight division pronto. Then Povetkin can fight Haye for the heavyweight title and it will be a huge event.

    heres an idea next time.... how about not letting someone man handle you all night and rough you up, push you down ect. do something about it rather than swell up and bleed and lose every round

    Sure it's povetkin country but still it's basically homecooking anyway for wlad. The fans cheer for him more then povetkin and wlad is the heavyweight best fighter and is well well known. The refs was scared to do something with these crappy holding, leaning sh4t.
