I would call those shots "***** checks" and it must be unnerving when your opponent can simply swat away your punches. And they're not illegal.
Most people on this site don't appreciate boxing though. They don't understand it. They think that if a fighter is better than the other, he must run at him and knock him out. They don't understand the art of "hit and don't get hit".
It wasn't an exciting fight but I agree with your sentiment. In fact, I'm surprised that there aren't more people saying that exact same thing. Seems like its okay for certain fighters to do it but not others.
He fought so perfectly well that even his trainer got bored of the fight and asked Wlad to throw some punches.
The fight was good for a boxing fan. Wlad did all the right things and if you think he didn't try to KO sultan your wrong. He landed like 5-6 big right hands and sultan stayed on his feet. 99% of the HW fighters would have been KO'd by then, and after all those jabs. It probably didn't bring any boxing fans, but as a Klitschko fan, I would say GOOD JOB WLAD!!
Well, I wouldn't say he fought perfectly. He perfectly got a paycheck w/o really fighting. He cheated the ones who payed to see him fight...
Same with me; 119-109 for Wladimir I know people are disappointed that this wasn't a great fight and that Wladimir didn't end it with a knockout (myself included), but to say he sucks is way off base. If anything, this win showed how dominant Wladimir is against this current crop of heavyweights. He wins a wide decision, pretty effortlessly, and doesn't even show his full offensive arsenal.
