    Wlad was far worse than both IMO. His bout with Povetkin was disgraceful.

    Yes, but Fury was quite dirty against Cunningham as well.

    I don't think I've watched that fight tbh. Fury wasn't on my radar back then. Will have to whenever I get the chance.

    He was having problems so turned it dirty, to leverage his size advantage to the max. The ref let him get away with it, so he stayed with it until he got the KO. Tbh I think he showed himself to be a real pro there. You do what the ref let's you get away with. I don't have a problem with the fighter doing that, it's all on the ref.

    :lol: First you said Tyson never used this tactics, now that you've been exposed you're changing the goal posts and saying Tyson only did it once (untrue) and Marciano did it more often.

    Just stop digging, you're making a fool of yourself.

    "No contestant may be awarded a contest on a claim of low blow foul nor may a contestant lose a decision by reason of a low blow foul"

    Perhaps why this footage has been edited.Ive never seen the full fight
