He didn't come in at waist height he was pushed down to waist height, Wlad had no worries about the ref. The same one that let Wlad jump on Mormecks back.
He lowered his head and rushed in.
Are you one of those angry Brits who hasn't gotten over the fact that Haye pussied out and blamed the fight on his stubbed toe?
Other than bite his schlong what could he do when someone is pushing his head down and mounting him?
Wlad was the major offender. Povetkin should have practiced timing an opponent tying him up. He should stop bending from the waist with a hump back. In the Huck fight this move was done to make it so Huck did not have a target. So Huck would foul to try to get to the Russian....thats bad form. But also: this position sets Povetkin up for a monster upercut.
Povetkin just should have the flexability and mobility to let his hands go inside. lot of these fighting strategies capitolize on a lack of skill and preperation. For example, Floyd's shoulder roll is susceptable to the jab. In a FLoyd fight when an opponent capitolizes (as Oscar did) Floyd then adjusts. Wlad should have been timed, even hit low a few times! I mean I wish the foul pole (Golata)had been been advising Povetkin for this fight! Obviusly this is extreme but look at the Golata Bowe fights for an example of how to capitolize when a big man is trying to tie up.
With the ref being so bad, with the Russian doing the hump back waist bend....and finally with Wlad doing his part this fight may be called the perfect storm.
Hilarious how these Brits worshiped Shitman Fatton who's style revolved around holding and hitting. After Haye lost to Wlad they started whining about holding
