quick poll to see who did or didnt watch this fight.. its crazy times when the heavyweight champ of the world is fighting opponents so mediocre that i dont even bother watching the fight!!! Wlad is the first HW champ since i been into boxing for the last 25 years that i dont tune into to all his title fights.. i watch some of them when the opponent is decent but definitely not all..
didnt watch Leapai, Wach or Pianeta fights so that means out of Wlads last 4 fights only 1 of them was worth watching against Povetkin! what about you?
I did but not live, I'm not complaining much it was just a boring but short fight where we saw completely brutal but insipid domination.
I've watched most of the Klitchko's fights but I've become indifferent to Wlad's later fights against human punching bags.
i watched it.
i watch basically every big fight, i just don't catch all of them live the way i used to.
i wanted to see what deontay wilder's biggest victim was up to.
I remember being severely let down by the end of round 2. I knew Leapai wasn't gonna do sh1t but try to survive. He was there for a paycheck clearly. He knew he was outgunned. Klit just stood back and let the jab do most of the work, he didn't even really need to try. That's ok cause the following Saturday we got a way better HW on the same channel. :boxing:
I usually watch all fights but with this fight I just watched a replay of the KO. The same with the Pianeta fight. Klitschko vs. Pulev is a fight I'm going to watch though, don't think Pulev has much of a chance but he is one of the best opponents out there.
I didn't watch it live, caught it the day after.
The only surprise was that it took Wlad 5 rounds to get rid of such a pathetic bum.
It took Haye how long to get rid of Fraudley Harrison?!! :lol1:
Only took Wilder the one round lmao!
The only fights I've boycotted was
Mayweather vs Guerrero (originally was going to watch it, fell asleep during it)
Bhop vs Chad Dawson (fell asleep through both, TERRIBLE boring fights)
Andre Wards last couple of fights not paid attention to him at all
Rigos last fight with that bum Agbeko
That's off the top of my head I've set out to watch a few of these fighters and lost my will to do it. I'd much rather watch UFC than watch Bhop/Ward fight
Don't mind watching Mayweather when he actually picks someone with a pulse.
wlad aint no spring chicken anymore. anyway he toyed with him for a few rounds and then knocked him out rather brutally so he did pretty much what he was supposed to do
He's still got more than enough to dispose of someone on Leapai's level in a couple of rounds. But I understand from Wlad's perspective I guess - He knows that his loyal German fans want to see him fight and box for a couple of rounds before a brutal KO happens. If he goes in and destroys him in 30 seconds, the fans won't be pleased.
But Wlad looked good, I'll give him that. But let's not pretend that Leapai was more than a bodybag with a pair of arms.
