    Only the most talented get lambasted for such a thing.

    There should be an option 3) At first it was a good fight but after the first 6 rounds all I was doing was waiting for Wlad to knock this bum out.

    It was nice to see Wlad in there with a guy he didn't have a size advatage over and it was nice to see him throwing his right hand from the start of the fight. He also got hit a few times early so all and all the first half was pretty good. But the second half of the fight was all Klitchko and his economical style of fighting in the mid rounds when he has a fight in the bag is pretty boring. He didn't start opening up until he was confident that if he gassed out trying to knock the guy out he would still be able to make it to the final bell. Just glad he went for it in the eleventh. I would have been pretty pissed had he just crused to the finish again.

    wasn't great but it was solid that ended in a 1 punch ko. people just hate wlad's defensive style. wlad landed some big shots from round 2 on but was really out of sync. he made second half adjustments and took over. that's what experience and a trainer like uncle manny can do for u.

    tony put in a solid performance. he deserves a lot of props for taking klit out of his game in the first half of the fight, sustaining a body attack for many rounds and taking all those right crosses.

    klit proved his stamina is good too.

    I don't know if anyone else was impressed by Klit's durrablity and stamina in this fight but I was. he definitely manages himself better in the ring these days.

    I would Imagine Wlad v Povetkin will be much better as Povetkin will throw more punches.
