Vitali vs Arreola Wladimir vs Brock Wladimir vs Peter 1 Vitali vs Sanders All those fights weren't boring.
I think the Klischko's are excellent boxers. Granted, the Vlad- Imbroginov fight was really bad, but the brothers typically get it done. Boxing is a sport that involves serious money, skill, and marketing. It is not street fighting. If that is what your into, find some Kimbo videos online and have at it.
It depends on how you look at boxing . Some people find excitement in things that most people find boring. Majority of the casual fans would not care if level of boxing ability dropped significantly just to watch brawls where fighters only care about offense. Basically they just want to see two man beat the **** out of each other for entertainment. Right now the culture is moving toward more entertainment because emotions get ratings. There is a reason you don't see chess tournaments on FOX and that is because people actually have to think and not feel. People are becoming a lot less patient and want fast gratification. That is why UFC is doing so much better than boxing in the US. It is packed with action and there is only like 3 rounds. Term boring is subjective so they are only as entertaining as public sees them, in U.S they might be boring but in a lot of other countries they are pretty exiting.
Those who complain about Klitschkos complained when Vitali knocked Solis out in the very first round with a right hook to the temple!!!!!!!
It is just an excuse not to like them. If it was not boring then it would be and often is something else. Boring is simply the most politically correct. Lumping them together as a single entity is furthur proof that it is sour grapes at play and not unbiased evaluation. Most of these hypocrites that call the Klitschko's boring probably cannot get enough of Hopkins. GEEZ, I wonder why???
" People balming Klitschko for being boring" They're not people, they're boxing forum a-holes, and they are just parroting what they heard the talking heads say on their tv sets and in their newspaper columns. Boring? The amazing K brothers have the highest knockout percentage in history!
I would pay money to see an opponent getting blasted away in the opening rounds cause it is exciting. The brothers aren't that kind of fighters (anymore) though and we just have to live with that. Vitali lost a lot of his power and Wlad's chin is too feeble to use that kinda tactic. Still I like what they do in the ring (certainly Vitali's style) and how they represent themselves. I like to see a fighter with a 3 to 4 round average in titlefights in the future, instead of Wlad's 8.3, Vitali's 8.9 and Haye's 8 round average on their current reigns. But we would have to wait for that kinda fighter to come along and be effective with it.
I don't particularly mind how long the fight goes as long as there's some great EVT techniques on display. This was never more evident than when Solis brutally Evented "Vitalij" back in March in an ATG display of eventing
