Why do we watch Klitschko fights?

    I sometimes skip Mayweather and Klitschko fights. Alot of boxing still without those three.

    It's only completely boring if you don't know what's going on, simple as that dumbass.

    If it was their fault then this thread would be appreciated and taken seriously, but because it isn't there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to throw in lines like "Let them fight bums then!", "The ****?", "wat? lolz!" in an already clearly ******ed thread coming from a clueless piece of garbage.

    Do you even know what styles are in boxing?, even if you didn't(which I'm sure), I won't waste time teaching you.

    Enjoy your trolling journey now.

    I consider myself a fan of the sweet science, for instance apart from the 2nd half of the baldomir fight, I love watching Mayweather do his thing.

    But Klitschkos are a different story, being in England I stayed up til 4 am to watch the wlad sultan ibragimov fight and I still haven't recovered from that traumatising experience, I stopped watching and then gave him another chance with the Rahman fight, again dissapointing. I watched Vitali against sam peter, again boring as hell.

    These days I'm smart enough, if there is a Klitschko fight, I'm not watching it unless its a live opponent.

    It's not the Klitschko's fault. The problem is their opponents generally make no effort to fight them. Instead the back off cover up and go into what is commonly known as 'survival mode'. It's hard to knock a person out like that because to get the balance, power and accuracy (getting past the glove) in the shots against a covered up backing of person is nigh-on impossible. It also takes an aggressive fighter to bring the best out of you as without the adrenaline rush an aggressive fighter creates in yourself it essentially feels like a sparring session.

    If you look at the Wlad - Mercer fight where Wlad fought a game fighter who never took a backward step - albeit if his offence was somewhat limited - he beat him in an unnerving display of power and ruthlessness.

    Yet you probably thought Haye - Valuev was a " masterclass " performance.. And you found Vitaly - Peter boring as hell? Really are you talking about Johnson? or did you not really even watch it?

    well,

    1. wlad stopped fighting anyone that could break an egg with their punch around 2005, so that limited the chance of an exciting exchange that lead fun.

    2. Since the last loss against Brewster, he holds like a freaking Octupus onto anyone that gets within his jab range. He's almost Ruiz like now.

    3. He doesn't dare throw any artillery until his opponent is gass, or he is confident he is hopelessly outclassed.

    All smart moves, all dreadfully boring.

    That and he won't fight the number two guy in the division.

    Almost all of Tyson's opponents went into the same mode int he 80"s, and Tyson got most of them out in spectacular fashion.

    Why?

    Because he tried to.

    I've never seen fighters so trashed for the fact they rarely lose a round. I guess that sort of domination does make them boring.

    Thats not what happened here. Sosnowski was way out of his depth but was active the entire fight and landed clean, but powerless shots (because he always had to reach in) way more frequently then people anticipated. His defence until the 9th was sound too until he stopped moving. Again, until this point Vitali was missing the target way more than people anticipated and more than Vitali is accustomed to. You know, I bet you any money that half the people who are commentating on this fight didn't even see it and are going by their preconceptions.

    As for Haye and Wlad fighting the K-bros both have proven to be certified, micromanaged putas.

    I watch KlitschKO fights because they always deliver. One can expect a KO at any moment.

    Lucky to even see the knockout by then, cause you've likely been put to sleep already.
