The Reason Klitchsko Wasn't Throwing The Right Hand?

[PBDS]

Tricky to hit? What is this some new myth?

Did he look hard to hit to you???

I think you're missing the point, hombre..

Klitchsko could have fired MUCH more often at no further liability or risk.

...Addison, tell me your take on Lennox Lewis? He's in a bunch of top five lists and fought a much more boring style than Wlady. Wlad dominated his last four opponents and got the KO and we have to listen to this **** over one fight?

I was not a fan of Lewis and his methods. At all. Both guys are/were very good champs but not my cup of tea.

NO Kayjay is right.... Wlad is technicaly perfect... Tonight he was just a little too perfect.. and perfect can be kinda boring..

But if you call Wlad a **** boxer.. You really dont understand the sport..

One of us doesn't understand the sport. That much is clear. There is nothing (zero) about Wlad's technique that even approaches perfection. You seem to have the volume up a bit high on your TV because you are obviously buying into the HBO promotion team's hype. Wlad is ****. That he is considered the best in his division is only testimony to how truly devoid of talent the heavyweight division is.

Well at least you're consistent. Some people are writing like this was the first dull heavyweight title fight in boxing history. It wouldn't even make the top 10.

Lewis was never that reticent against a fighter who was there for the taking.

HUH??? Wlad landed his right 70% of the times he threw it .. thr problem being he only threw 12 the whole fight..

Like I said all he had to do was put a few punches together and Iggy would have been sparked..

I would have been more likely to agree with you if I ever saw Sultan in any kind of trouble. His legs were steady and he wasn't badly staggered the whole fight. IMO Wladimir made the best of the situation without taking any foolish risks.

Lennox was much more fun to watch than Wlad as of late. his last real 'exciting' fight was Brewster, but actually the Peter fight wasnt bad at all.

the only 'boring' Lewis fight I can remember off the top of my head is Tua...and maybe Lewis vs. Holyfield II

...Tua, both Holy fights, Mavrovic, and Tucker to mention a few. Now tell me about all the boring Wlad fights.

He was scared to get hit even once in each and every exchange. He just said it; he didn't want to fall in off balance or exposed even one single time.

Now that's fear.

more like smarts. you never want to miss a right hand when facing a southpaw. remember corrie sanders? if wlad fought the same way then,,,he'd be 53-0

Don't be mad just because you backed the wrong horse and now it looks like you won't be able to cover all your bets when Cotto knocks the hell out of Gomez.
