Wlad can box beautifully at range but tonight it was a lot more fouling than boxing to be honest and I say that as a Wlad fan,palooka wrote:Klitschko can box as long as he wants; he has perfected the art of a 12 round boxing match; he is absolutely the physical and tactical master, he holds all the cards and hurts a boxer being dirty or when he is clean; Povetkin is an excellent boxer but wasn't really in the chase. One hard jab/hook bang on will wreck a good boxer; he must be able to push down a cars roof when he leans on, I'm not keen on watching him as it just seems unfair to the other man - I lost a tenner on Povetkin - betting through hope and not through brain. Wlad can do it as long as Hopkins if he wants.

He could've probably got away with blatant cheating at least once, he should have given it a go.Final round wrote:I agree with Horse! Shoud've fouled the pudendum hard and had done with it.
Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
Another dominant showing by Wlad. Didn`t lose a round against a top ranked challenger and had him down 4 times.

He made a right show of himself in the process though.crusader wrote:Another dominant showing by Wlad. Didn`t lose a round against a top ranked challenger and had him down 4 times.

I think the people who are referring to Klitschko's 'boxing' must have some sort of mental illness. Or passed out through boredom and dreamt of an entertaining boxing match.
That was not boxing.
It was not some tactical genius.
It was fugging holding, holding and hitting, clinching for dear life, for 12 fugging rounds of horror.
Holding not boxing.

Maybe, but it seems like most people already have an issue with his fighting style. Most of those who don`t probably don`t care that much.
Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
When we watched we said that Povetkin should have whacked his bollocks hard after being thrown around, even if it didn't do a lot it would have 'said' a lot, Povetkin was brave but acquiesced by not fighting fire with fire; if someone presses you down then belt em hard low, they'll not want you down there again.

That was the worst holding I've seen from Wlad. He shouldn't be allowed to do it.crusader wrote:Maybe, but it seems like most people already have an issue with his fighting style. Most of those who don`t probably don`t care that much.

Is that the royal "we", palooka? Anyway, it's nice to see you coming around to my way of thinking on the "knacker sac" shot.palooka wrote:When we watched we said that Povetkin should have whacked his bollocks hard after being thrown around, even if it didn't do a lot it would have 'said' a lot, Povetkin was brave but acquiesced by not fighting fire with fire; if someone presses you down then belt em hard low, they'll not want you down there again.

I agree, and if the referee were stricter I think Wlad would`ve held less.Horse wrote:That was the worst holding I've seen from Wlad.

Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
L_G, holding inside and getting away with it is a skill. It's not popular with American influenced tear-up fanatics but it's a useful weapon in the arsenal if you still wish to be understood when you're 50.

Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
When my son and I saw the holding we thought he ought to throw a hard knacker shot - the scullery maid was bringing our refreshments and has no input in these matters

Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
He should've taken the risk and whacked him in the balls when Klitschko was holding his head down. See how the fouling pudendum likes it.

For what it's worth, I had conquest up by 1 at the end.

Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
He was a bit unsporting; he had 2 women in the ring with some sort of ticker tape on them clapping his ever move (post fight) they didn't know what to do with themselves when Conquest had won - a bit unbecoming isn't it?

To be honest ive never rated Camacho. His chin seems suspect to me and his boxing ability is questionable.
Re: RBR Klitschko - Povetkin (Spoilers)
Neil Dawson would wreck both of them under 6 rounds combined.

Totally off topic but Quigg is getting outboxed at the minute.
