Klitschko should never be shown on TV again.

[bojangles1987]

Believe or not, if W.Klitschko was american with Ph.D and such brains in and out of the ring, he would have been regarded the greatest heavyweight of all times, yes greater than Ali !!

I am not a fan of either Klitschko, but their case shows how biased american brainwashing machine is ! just compare the legacy of W.Klitschko, AKA the boring Clinschko, to someone like Joe Louis . go back to watch fights of Louis and read about him and his competition, read about how some american historians regard him the greatest heavyweight of all times, and you will come to this conclusion .

Klitschko(s) are living legends, and yesterday match proved this to me . Povetkin would give hell of a fight to any heavyweight anytime .

This entire post is utter bull****. America said Larry Holmes was boring and dominating a weak era, has nothing to do with Wlad not being American. It has everything to do with his fights sucking.

Hey Euro****....Don't blame America for the listlessness of Wlad. If he had fought someone with half an inside game and if a half decent referee was doing his job, he would have been on his ass....regardless of whether it was an American or not.

Anyone with a little sense knew the Russian sucks, no power to speak of, no stamina and no inside game, and let me guess thats America's fault also?



Karma's a ***** and Wlad particularly (not Vitali) has always taken the safe way out. ironickly enough he did expose Povetkin....Too bad it shows the misleading media frenzy that preceded this fight. Again, anyone with a little sense could see how weak this opponent was and how weak Wlad is when compared to other great fighters, when dealing with this opponent.

Hey American ****, if you hate Wlad's fights so much than just don't watch it! Instead of it just watch exciting fighters like B-hop and Ward headbutting their opponents for 12 rounds or first class brawler like Floyd Mayweather shoulder rolling thru the entire fight

[thuggery]

I agree, same goes for Alexander, Lara, Andre Dirrell, Poopkins, Crawford, and Ward

[A-Wolf]

Wladimir fought one of the dirtiest, ugliest fights ever. It was puke worthy. Somebody needs to explain to this guy that boxing is a sport.

[damuttz112]

What a terrible fight.

[sunny31]

Horrible fight...if you could call it that.

Where is the art of boxing?

As someone pointed out sometimes Klitschko wouldn't even throw a punch, he would sometimes just dive into a clinch. Punch and then clinch. If Povetkin attacked him, clinch. He has absolutely no defense, unless he uses illegal tactics. He has good technique but very little skill. How often do you see him bob and counter? Or move and counter?

When someone is coming in low why not utilise the uppercut and knock him out, rather then d**** all over him like some ****sexual?

Honestly Wladimir is very accurate and fast with his jab, but he is not accurate with his power punches. He is very physically gifted, but is not skillful. He has quick feet, but pretty poor balance. Just too many flaws to be compared to the best of the best heavyweights. For once Max Kellerman probably has it right, he is a level below the greatest heavyweights of all time.

I think HBO are gonna give him another wide berth again. His last 3 fights on HBO (Ibraghimov, Haye and Povetkin) have all been stinkers, though Haye was more to blame for their fight. I understand you have to do what you have to do to win, but when HBO have clearly opened the door for you, you gotta do better than that. And the real pity of it all is that he he cut down on all that stuff and just focused on using his pure talent (awesome punching power and footwork) he would have got Povetkin out of there sooner.

I really think he was unsettled by Povetkin at the start and that's why he went nuts on the clinching/headlocking. This is where we miss Manny Steward telling him to knock that mother****er out.

This X10. For some reason wlad seemed shook. If only Emmanuel steward was in his corner this could have been a much quicker fight. Steward wouldn't have let povetkin survive after those knockdowns

[El Chicano]

That fight was ******. Klit is ***** to watch. And the ref let him keep laying on Povetkin's neck from round one, and hit him in the clinches. Wlad is just big. That's how he wins. He can't take a punch and his talent is limited. All his does is jab, hold, jab, right hand, hold, repeat. I think Amir Khan may have a better chin than him.

[Superflo777]

I'm not hating on Wlad or anything. I just think he should avoid a tall power puncher like Wilder since his defense lately requires laying on his opponent.

Povetkin would get dropped the second he tries that arms out bum rushing he did tonight

"Wlad should avoid Wilder", lol, what a big freakin joke. Only because the guy is tall and has a perfect record against bums Americans are already taking him for the next great heavyweight. Just for you to know, Wlad did beat Thompson, who has a longer reach than him, and is a better boxer than Wilder.
