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

a TERRIBLE FIGHT!!!
I saw at least 20 times how Wladimir GOT ON HIS TOES to push him down...the guy is taller than him !!!!

I was rooting for Wladimir, but c'mon man ..must be either disquilified for that or deducted points!!!!! The fight reminded me of Lenox Lewis vs Tyson

What this was 1000x worse.

How the **** does Klitschko get away with all those dirty, dirty tactics?! He deserved to lose at least another point for the insane amount of holding, pushing down on the neck, elbows, and blindside uppercuts on the inside while holding povetkin's head down. Most other fighters would probably've been disqualified for pulling that kind of **** continually but because of the appalling referee and the fact that it's wladimir doing it that somehow makes it ok. Didn't realize why people bagged on Klitschko so much but now I understand it completely.

This place never ceases to amaze me. It's Wlad fighting an aggressive smaller man whose ENTIRE gameplan would clearly be to try and get inside. How any of you are surprised by the holding is beyond me. This **** was obvious the minute the fight was announced. The ref needed to take a point early and Wlad would have had to adjust. The ref didn't, so Wlad didn't. The fight ****** yes, but the shock and outrage here is comedy.

Its not just the clinching tho. Its the pushing down as well. Its a crap tactic which has no place in boxing. Its really not fair for a man about 30lbs heavier to be able to push down on a smaller guy. Do u know what that does to a person's legs?

a smaller man who was game, wlad should be ashamed. he couldnt fight a fair decent fight against a smaller less experienced opponent! he had his moments but overall he spent 85% or more of that fight grabbing/pushing/leaning and at times doing all 3 at once lol

Does anyone have the Clinch Stats numbers??

[bojangles1987]

It is inexcusable for a heavyweight title fight to be fought and reffed this way. It was one of the worst fights of the year, right alongside Molina-Smith.

pretty ****ty performance by Wladimir. fight ended exactly how I said it would

[Cinci Champ]

i defend pure boxers as not boring atleast to myself and you cant hate on his ability but man is he boring and when is a ref gonna question him about anything

[ChestRockwell]

Pretty boring fight. However, Klitschko just used Muhammed Ali's favorite move and everyone still sucks his ****.
