The Reason Klitchsko Wasn't Throwing The Right Hand?

[potatoes]

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.

So you would have us believe that men who fight ****** are brave?

Some people don't realize boxing is about hit and don't get hit.

true wlad shouldn't have gone wild but there were several times where he could have followed up but didn't and i think it justified to point this out.

I guess yea he could have hurt Ibragimov on many occasions, but Ibragimov is a counter puncher, so he wasn't sure, I can understand that. Besides, I think it's ****** to say Wlad was scared of Iggy.

well it worked for him he pretty much won the bout with his right tied to his back
he just had too much respect for sultan i dont think he didnt want to hurt him or get hurt

[Jim Jeffries]

I guess it's true what they say about simple minds.

Good post. You put things on the edge so little children can understand

Gee, and after all of your posts condemning other people for being condescending.

Not Wlad's best performance, but he did beat a guy with a successful, extensive amatuer background who is a quick, counterpunching southpaw with an awkward style. Wlad's biggest weapon is his jab and it's very difficult to land a jab on a southpaw, yet he found a way to land at a very high rate, while completely nullifying Sultan's jab. With 44 knockouts in 49 previous wins, I think the man is entitled to have someone go the distance with him, especially if that person is a undefeated world champ, who has never been stopped, even in the amatuers.

sultan is a counter puncher wlad nullified sultan strenght completely by being passive

[boxingfan4life]

i dont think thats fear. he just wanted to make sure he won the fight which was a very important fight. remember he fought to unify the division. when your in a situation like that your gonna make sure not to make any mistakes that could cause you the fight.

i dont think he was scared.

do you honestly think that a man who has been in over 50 professional fights, was AFRAID to throw a punch? There's nothing wrong with being cautious. But caution does not = fear.

No. I don't think he's afraid to throw a punch.
I think he's afraid of getting hit with a punch.

I don't have any issues with how Wlad wins his fights, if it's boring I'll just watch someone else.
I do however have issues against people who dismisses other seemingly intelligent peoples opinions and viewpoints just because it doesn't match their own.

If you say Wlad didn't want to KO a guy from Russia because this and that, I would sit my ass down for a minute to ponder what you just said.
Maybe there could be something in your way of thinking.
I certainly wouldn't call you a ****** just because I felt Wlad didn't go for the KO because his mother watched the fight.

It's rather easy to write something smart over the internet, but it shows character to acknowledge other peoples opinions and thoughts and think about them for a minute.

But ****** people only want to be right and sound smart, which is why they always come in groups.

I know you can do better than what you did in this thread is all.

I don't consider you ******, but in this matter I felt you were a little narrow-minded.
