should Wlad Klitschko have been DQ'd?

He waited till 11 rounds to deduct a point for fouling that was happening from the very start. It was a farce. That point taken in round 2 along with warnings could of changed the course of the fight.

A proper ref would of made Wlad box cleanly. Just watch the first round of the Brewster fight.

Paybon should never be allowed in the ring again.

 

That promoter was a fool to spend all that money and then have Wlads ref call the fight.
Povetkin would of been better off fighting in Germany under K2 promotion.

 

No but probably should have been docked for pushing which I had more issue with

On a side not Povetkin came in plenty with his head down and is to blame for probably half the clinches but that doesn't exonerate the holding.

Why didn't either guy punch inside and why didn't wlad move and jab like he showed he could do. With space to throw he would have got the KO but was more interested in rough housing. Povetkin could hardly stand on two feet for five rounds and wlad carried him

Where was the right

 

I think the first 4 rounds Povetkin was as guilty of the clinches as Wlad was seeing as he bulldozed head first into Wlads lower abdomin.
After that i think Wlad should have gotten a warning and the a point docked if he kept holding.

Past experience shows though that Wlad usually stops after the first serious warning.

 

Not DQ'd but warned more often and early.

 

the part of wlads clinching that was pissing me off was the fact that he was jumping/leaping onto his tippy toes to push down on povetkin, i dont get how that can be justified

 

On a sidenote Wlad in th 10-6 rd like the last rd or Peter II he shoved Povetkn out of each clinch roughed him up looking for the kill and then never once did that again for the rest of the fight

 

Ironically I actually feel abit sorry for Wlad. Looks like he knows he has nothing left . And can not sustain an attack. Maybe those knockouts he was subjected to may have caused him to fight cautiously. I sympathize with him he's coming to the end of his career now.maybe he just doesn't want to take a loss. He has no confidence in his chin. So let him grab and smother. It has come upon us once and for all. The end of the klitscho dynasty. Now let the games begin. And let us get the heavyweight fights we deserve.

 

you can't really dq the guy unless you give him adequate warnings to stop his behavior, so who knows what would have happened if the ref told him to stop clinching. That said I think they should have deducted points from him each and everytime he threw Povetkin to the ground.

 

That's my biggest problem with you, and some of the other Klitschko fans.

Yes, Wlad probably would have won regardless of the clinching, elbowing and repeatedly throwing Povetkin to the ground, but is this what we as fans deserve to be watching?

Don't you think a heavyweight boxing match should perhaps be entertaining? Don't you think it should perhaps highlight their boxing, rather than their wrestling skills?

You just care that Wlad wins and you don't care how, that makes you the far from a boxing fan.

 

klit fans are just butthurt that the vast majority don't rate and never will rate or remember these roiders 10 years after they are gone

 

In post-fight presser Wlad said their plan was to stand his ground and not allow Povetkin to constantly come forward. Not sure if it is related to stamina issues or being afraid that Povetkin might gain confidence or that judges might give Alexander a nod. IMHO it is not too clever.

 

Since it's suppose to be boxing was there ever a plan to stop Povetkin's forward momentum with something called punches??

 

I think he could time Povetkin coming in. He showed it with multiple opponents even Haye. Short left hook with a step to the left. But I'm not Wlad to judge. Perhaps plan didn't work or he was overwhelmed by Povetkin or he was just content with what he was doing.

 

what was povetkins plan again? to come in head first and allow himself to be held 100 times? maybe he should have tried something different after the first few rounds
