Comments Thread For: Klitschko Drops Povetkin Four Times, Wins Decision

[Mikhnienko]

What, is there an echo chamer in here with everyone jumping on the hate bandwagon? I haven't seen the fight yet but I bet it wasn't nearly as bad as these hysterical comments suggest.

Credit to Wlad for going into the lion's dan and getting another victory.

missed the fight but from what i'm hearing it played out like a typical wlad klitschko scrap. why the huge fuss with this one?

The first five rounds were indeed dreadful with Wlad's leaning and clinching being excessive even by his standards. KD in rd 2, three kd's in round 6 and second half of the fight were more tolerable.

Wait until you see the playback. Wladimir took his clinching to a whole new level in this fight.

Most his fights are show on non ppv for HBO which means they pay one flat fee and get to show it for years to come...there is money in longer term content instead of one off's. Even if it does 700k in viewers it's still averaging more viewers than 80% of HBO's premium content that often costs them upwards of 120 million bucks a season to produce.

well wlad aint producing nothin but headaches and yawns, he needs to take his talents to ufc where yourre allowed to grab and do takedowns then he can hold them and hit them while on the ground its a perfect fit.

Dude I was expecting Hulk Hogan and Sting to come storming into the ring with metal chairs and ladders at any point...it looked like an old 70's wrestling fight...Guess Wlad channeled his inner Bruno Samartino.

all you dumbass boxing fans now realize mma is superior to boxing. what can a boxer do when his hands are tied literally

Horrible, horrible, horrible fight . . . He wasn't even trying to punch . . . Just clinching, pushing, and leaning . . . He did have the cleaner punches . . . Maybe he should do MMA because that's not boxing!

For those who missed the fight...here it is summed up in one image...

[Ray Corso]

9 headlocks, 4 hip rolls, 37 pushes, 72 leans and I think he drop kicked him at the end of the 11th???

No more talk about this guy being a great fighter, please try to understand what you just saw, without the 6'6" height he would be like all the other ordinary heavies today! He is smart enough to utilize his advantage but his advantage has nothing to do with talent or skills! Its just a technique used by taller fighters!

what can anyone do with their hands tied?? nothin wrong with men fighting with their hands all that karate matial arts stuff is good too but boxing is the original fighting sport with history. if you ask me who my fav matial artist is im going to say bruce lee or ip man who never was around for ufc. most mma guys now dont learn the real arts to it
