Why Klitschko took it easy on Ibragimov

he would have been better off taking it easy on the viewers who had to watch that crap.

 

so stop crying and don't watch it. he's still the man and probably doesn't care what you think of it.

he did what he had to do.

 

Ain't it the truth.

 

Yes stop crying Bumdajour.He's only the premier HW in our beloved sport.
How dare you expect to be entertained by a highly paid elite athlete with the boxing world watching?Are you crazy?
Who cares if this could have rescued the HW division and brought people back to boxing,he's not there to entertain us fans and paying customers.
he's only 6ft 5 and 240 LBS,do you expect him to gamble and risk being hit just for the watching public?The very idea.As a life long boxing fan,i quite enjoy being bored shitless,dont you?

 

The reason is, Wlad was content on winning the fight with his jab, and realized if he threw the right hand more, he would be open to be countered, and I'm sure even Wlad has doubts about his chin. In the end Wlad fought a safe uneventful fight, against guy who didnt have the skills to do much more than look for that one big punch to crack Wlads weak chin.

 

This post is gold lol.

 

thats right

 

i think you missed the part where he doesnt care what you think.
seriously, if any of you critics have boxed for a few years you wouldn't be judging the guy.

any of you have ?

 

As a paying fan you have the right to demand entertainent. We are not saying we could do better as we dont box for a living. As the biggest most talented heavy out there I don't think it's unreasonable to demand some action for 50$.

 

I have, off and on for the last 10 or so years. Wlad is a good fighter who just had an off night, against a guy who is pretty slick, though he didnt show much of that last night. Wlad knew he could beat him from the begining, all he had to do was avoid the big left hand and he was going to get an easy victory by just using his jab and throwing the occasional right to keep his oppenent honest, not a great fight, but a win for Wlad none the less.

 

he has no chin, thats why he had to protect it.. let him do it as long as he can. but he sure won't be a popuar champ if he keeps fighting this kind of fights

 

Come on Klitscho has 25 lbs on the guy and Ibragimov is not exactly what I would consider a KO artist. Holy and Briggs took his shots with ease. I can undertsand lewis playing it safe with Tua but a soft 215 lb Ibragimov, come on man.

 

The only thing about Klitschko that I haven't seen mentioned that I've actually thought about is that he broke his hand in his last fight, and maybe he was hesitant to use it too soon if it wasn't necessary -- it could still be brittle or presenting him problems. Was it worth re-breaking his hand on Ibragimov's head? This is a good question.

 

You seen the fight, as did I, Wlad was in control through most of the fight, Wlad practically beat Iggy with one hand. Wlad has a weak chin, he knows it, anyone who knows a anything about boxing knows it, he played it safe and didnt take any chances to be countered by a guy who does have the ability to knock Wlad out, why take the chance when you dont have to?
