    I'm a huge Klitschko fan and hated it. Explain that one.

    I think Wlad is extremely talented but for some reason, he didn't believe in himself in this fight and laid a stinker.

    Win this time, look great next time with that title I guess.

      I agree, he should have been warned and it could have changed the fight but if you want to go that route, so should Povetkin. He was constantly running in and putting his head down into Wlads chest area.

        Uh?

        Povektin initiated a few of the clinches, and did nothing to discourage Wlad from holding, I give you that.

        That said, most inside fighters lean their head against their opponent's chest, that's a technique.

        If it was a foul Frazier, for one, would have never boxed.

          Before the Povetkin fight I would have said Garcia was with 22 attempted lowblows and 10 legitimate lowblows but yeah its Grabomir.

            I think the crown still belongs to BHop. Guys like Wlad and May use the same foul or two repeatedly whereas BHop will use any and every foul if the opportunity presents itself. He is a master at seizing opportunity.

                Maybe Ali should have used Wlad's defense for it, lol.

                Frazier would do it but not make contact with his opponents. There's a massive difference.

                Povetkin would actually run his head into Wlad over and over again.

                That said, if I were Wlad, I would have just taken a step back and upper cutted the crap out of him for it but to each their own.

                I'm sure if I was in Wlad's body and didn't land a lucky shot on him, Povetkin would have knocked me out!!!

                  Maybe both guys did fight hard, lol.

                  But it was ugly to watch.

                    he's a walking cheat code... all he has to do is head hunt and when his opponent ducks, lean in with a front face head lock... rinse, repeat..

                      he didnt hold much at all in the wach or pianetta fights. not sure why he did so much clinching with povetkin. that was disgraceful. one of the worst fights ive ever seen
