I guess it was the Ref's fault when Wladimir hit Povetkin with that short left "jab hook" knocking him down for the first time in his career! Amazing how Povetkin's face looked like he was mistaken for a piñata at a Mexican party from all those clinches :nut
That only proved Povetkin could take Wlads best punch and keep coming. Wlads chin is made of fragile glass. He wouldn't get up from Pov's best punch. Wlad knew it, hence why he threw boxing out the window.
No doubt Povetkin is one tough mofo which is why he kept' on coming and was knocked down four times (I think it was four) Wlad's so called fragile glass chin is greatly exaggerated by his enemies. I don't believe Wlad has been put down in over 10 years! Heavy handed Haye did score on Wlad's chin a few times and Wlad wasn't fazed. Sanders is the only fighter that really scorched him. Peter put him down with two rabbit punches and got him off balance on the third yet Wlad went on to win. Sounds pretty durable to me. Brewster's knock out of Wlad? Steward himself said "There's something funny about it and let's just leave it at that" Emanuel was the ultimate pro and I wonder why he would make an excuse? The rematch was a mismatch where during the fight Steward says "You about to knock him out with your jab" Of course we all know Brew quit on his stool without injury forcing him to do so. If Wlad did "Throw boxing out the window" to me, it means he adapted and went to plan "B" which worked for him. I'd love to see a rematch! More than once I have talked to boxing fans from the UK and they told me quote "I'm from the UK so it's my patriotic duty to hate the Klitschko's" I ain't kidding. I'm not sure if you're being objective when evaluating Wladimir but I admit I'm suspicious of a biased agenda. Nothing personal on you it's just my impression :good
So what? Ottke was never KO'd in his life fighting under the protection of Germany. Do you think he wouldn't suffer a KO loss against guys like Benn, Roy Jones, G Man etc?? Haye got nothing off on Wlad and Wlad rode most that came close. He never connected clean. He landed a decent shot on the 12th and Wlad was on Bambi legs all over the place. Wlad was afraid of pudding puncher Chris Byrd and held onto him excessively . His chin is useless. Its a known fact and claiming the water caused his demise against Brewster is pathetic excuse making. He had to go to hospital after the beating he took and his system came back CLEAN. Brewster in his prime made **** out of him. Wlad beat a faded, injury induced retired Brewster . It was a shameful fight and proved nothing. What ' plan B' ?? He had no plan A or B.... Shutting the fight down from start to finish using his size no no boxing plan. The opened the fight with a clinch and continued to clinch more than he threw punches. He didn't even deserve to win. Anywhere where else in the world he would have been DQ'd after the 5th.
Cannot wait for Saturday watching an ATG heavyweight dominate the number 1 challenger. Once Pulev loses who will Wlad be ducking next Dinovelvet?
Probably a Wlad UD as well... but that's not the point. Wlad, the "master boxer" does pretty much everything he can to avoid boxing..
