Comments Thread For: Povetkin on Klitschko Loss, Knockdowns, The Future

[FrankieBruno]

He frustrated Wlad. Wlad had respect for him, that's why he used his size and weight advantage to bully him. Povetkin gave Wladimir the most difficult fight in recent memory.

lmao

what nonsense

wlad could have knocked him out early, for whatever reason he chose to play it overly safe with illegal tactics

Pov was never a threat, didn't land a single decent punch, walked in straight lines and did nothing but get beat up

He had heart for taking a beating, but as a boxer he was not impressive, was laid out by a jab, don't fancy his chances against someone who hits hard

Well Povetkin showed he has a good chin and that he's durable and tough. His biggest mistake was not being able to adjust and overcome adversity when Wlad 'played it safe'. I don't blame Wlad too much, as Povetkin literally seemed content lunging into Wlad's bear hug all night. Wlad just used his size advantage in these situations.

He didn't show he has a good chin, he was wobbling anytime Wlad connected

This is the same Pov who went life and limb with Huck not to long ago and in all honesty many felt Huck won

I''d like to see Pov against Pulev, Del, Fury Haye, they will all knock him out and show Wlad how it's done

Wlad is to fully blame for illegal tactics, it was a disgraceful display, only his biased fanboys cant see it, while the rest of the world can

Stinker of a fight, Wlad should hang his head in shame

[kiDynamite92]

All class. I would like to see a rematch but only if there was a ref who would actually penalise Wlad. He may have a shot then.

[STEELHEAD]

sheesh! pathetic hvwt division and pathetic rationalizing by boxing fans.
who would of thought it would turn out like this.
boycott the hvwts. don't pay to watch. take note theres reasons why hbo and others wont telecast the clown klitschkos no mo.

[jc90]

Povetkin really seems like a decent guy, hats of to him.

What an ignorant response. You obviously are a Wlad fanboy. Clue. Have one.

[LacedUp]

Povetkin has proved to the world that he's a fighter who should be respected, contrary to what many people believed about him before this fight. He's the best heavyweight not named Klitschko.

That's nonsense.

Povetkin was good for the first 2-3 rounds, but after that he looked like bambi on ice and had to rely on an incredible show of heart and courage to keep on standing. But he didn't fight. Wlad was just his usual gun shy boring self.

I don't even get why people were upset. Did they expect anything else from Wlad? That's the biggest surprise of all.

[PunchyPotorff]

Get a good ref who would actually take charge of the ring, and you'd see the title change hands. Povetkin did better than anyone in recent years vs Wlad. And he conducted himself with class, never gave up, and has a positive attitude about things. You'd never see him saying ignorant things like Chisora or Fury has, wouldn't see him glassing or spitting on his opponent etc etc. And he really only had one weak performance, vs Huck. Whine about him all you want. We need more fighters like him.

Total nonsense. Povetkin was equally to blame for a stinker of a fight. Only Klitschko haters can't see that.
