Why is Wladimir getting hammered after dominating Chambers?

    I can't help but ask that question. Honestly guys, nobody has ever dominated Eddie Chambers the way Wladimir did on Saturday. Nobody has ever put him down, had him in trouble or KO'd him in such a shocking and scary way. NOBODY. Chambers has been in the ring with some pretty good names, and never got punished the way he did against Klitschko. And yet, here comes the Wladimir criticism again: He was boring; He took too long; He just jabbed away; Why didn't he get rid of him earlier?; and so on and so fourth. I can't help but sit here and wonder WTF?

    Go back to Friday and many people were saying and writing that Chambers was a real threat to Wladimir. That Chambers easily beat Brock and Peter after Wlad struggled with them. That Chambers was tough and had the speed and power to test Wlad and possibly take him into the deep rounds and drown him. Please feel free to confirm this if you don't believe me.

    After Chambers pissed Wlad off in the second round and ate the right hand of doom, he proceeded to run for the next ten rounds. Wlad did the experienced thing and pursued him in a controlled manner. Yes, had he been more aggressive earlier he could have probably gotten rid of Chambers, but he had not fought in ten months, and recently had his shoulder surgically repaired. Why risk blowing out a shoulder needlessly throwing power punches in pursuit of a speedy opponent when you can wait for him to slow down over the rounds and catch him later? Or is that simply too complicated for your average boxing viewer?

    I don't get it you guys. Wladimir defeats a game and very slick opponent and all many of you can do is call his victory a poor one. I for one simply don't understand many of you.

    Can you imagine the criticism Wlad would get had he lost? Inside info tells me he's the best HW on the planet and will be for the next few years. Why is he getting hammered?
    Prejudice plain and simple.

    Im not German, American, nor British, and I believe Wlads performance in the Chambers fight was about a 8.50-9.00 /10.00

    Wlad is a textbook fighter. Don't forget that.....he is great at what he does.

    He's a 6'6 244 pound brick shithouse with skills, speed and power and he fights like a *****. He should be stopping these guys in the first half of fights but yet he just jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs oh look a right hand...... and jabs and jabs and jabs and jabs.

    Get the picture?

    Part of it is his fan base.

    Wlad impressively stops chambers in 12 rounds, a decent showing by all accounts, and the first Wlad fans do is start asking stupid questions.

    Is Wlad a top ten all time great?

    Would Wlad stop a prime Tyson?


    And bull**** like that.

    He is a very good fighter, a good belt holder, and by all accounts a very nice guy.

    However, he is as boring as **** to watch, and he's not even the undisputed champion much less a top ten all time great.

    His fans create a huge backlash, just like Mayweather, Pacquaio, Pavlik, and many other fighters fans do for their fighters.

    I would rather watch Drago vs Creed on repeat 10 times before watching another snoozer from this clown. I am so sick and tired of seeing a fighter with SO MUCH POWER AND SKILL not do jack **** with it because he is afraid hes going to get waxed.

    Because it was like watching a very skilled middle weight beat up a short fly weight. There is really no one to challenge him. The haters will keep coming out in force and he will continue to be ignored until it looks like there is some one that can challenge him.

    Cause he's a ***** who paws away for 12 rounds. He could be putting his opponents away a lot quicker. Can you imagine him putting in a Lewis vs Golota type performance?

    Not on my nelly. I can't remember him ever going toe to toe with someone his own size, like Vitali v Lewis. Lewis would've absolutely starched Vlad imo

    no his fights dont have me standing on my feet but he is good at what he does. david haye may have knocked those guys out faster than wlad did but still he won every round and ended it in spectacular fashion.

    problem with him is he doesnt have to fight any other way. no one has taken him out of his comfort zone in a while and he will continue to dominate every round of his fights until someone can do so. from what i saw chambers didnt look like he wanted to make a fight of it anyway.
