Wlad's performance was far from great

    Of course, Wlad easily won, the scores were right - 119-104,
    and its his 15th defense in a row - great accomplishment.

    But as a Wlad fan, I was disappointed by 2 things:

    - way too many clinches, holdings and pushes
    - his inability to land right hand on Povetkin's chin. That shows some limitations as his opponent saw all straight right hands from Wlad. If Wlad was able to land those rights, the fight would be over in the middle rds. Unfortunately, Wlad's timing isnt his strongest side.

    Overall, good, but far from great performance from the best HW it the world. I expected more variety from Wlad in this fight.
