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

[paulf]

I got home as the scores were being announced. Sounds like I did myself a favor by missing it.

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.

No it isn't Wlad does this **** every fight this is why he gets so much hate, he jumps on his opponents back until they tire every fight. He's a dirty fighter.

Klitschko should have been DQ'd for all that clinching and leaning, its a very deliberate tactic that he gets away with.

First, Wlad would have been deducted points early for those. But once he floored Povetkin, the ref felt more comfortable...

glad to see there was fair judging and reffing...wladimir got the job done..can't ask much more

It wasn't a fair ref. It was the typical "Let Wlad clinch 30 times a round" type ref.

wlad is a gangster kinda dirty boxing. he needs naazim in the corner
povetkin has a big heart, but had zero chance.

The oddsmaker usually gets it right, but just like I said earlier today; easy money on Wlad. I made some sweet cash tonight, 1.4 on Wlad to win was just ridiculous.

Povetkin's performance was pretty much as bad as I expected, I guess he showed heart atleast. Haye did way better, despite the toe and not taking chances/utilizing the wrong gameplan.

I have no idea what the ref was doing, and how Wlad was allowed to hold, wrestle and shove the way he did. Then all of a sudden he deducted a point.

[MDPopescu]

I think he dropped him once, and pushed him thrice.

... Poor refereeing since the start of the fight.

Boxing needs to ban this guy...all 12 rounds was a cheatfest from a guy who holds all the advantages...at least Povetkin got paid handsomely.

[Cutthroat]

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

Lol Ali could actually fight inside, all Wlad did the whole fight was hold, push, and throw a Povetkin down. Wlad literally landed 0 body punches the ENTIRE fight, without those illegal tactics he'd get KTFO.

FIX of the year !!!
