    Russiand and Ukrainian are very close languages. Vitali's and Wladimir's mother tongue is Russian and they had to learn Ukrainian. Their mother has Siberian origins.

      I think if he fights Fury next that will be exciting though as he tends to be more aggressive against bigger guys.

      I think Fury has been massively boring and safety first himself lately but I hope I am correct in thinking that will be a more exciting fight.
      I was thrown off when he just decided to box Chisora when he obviously had the fight won way before the 12th. Plus he would just box for a decision in the southpaw stance occasionally throwing a Heavyweight shoe shine and not heavy shots like he's capable of.

      Odd stuff but I think Fury would show a different/complete style against Klitschko, Wilder, or even fighting talented prospects like Parker and Joshua.

        Sadly, in some fights, Wlad is less entertaining than John Ruiz. Arguably, the clinching and "fighting scared" could be considered the same thing in this case.

          Klitschko is somewhat exciting but it almost depends on his dance partner now. The Povetkin fight was horrible to watch with the unbearable clinching he was able to execute.

          Pulev had little head movement and gave Klitschko beautiful shots. Recently Jennings gave Klitschko a very game fight but didn't have enough stamina and experience to outbox the champ but Jennings did find a little more success after Klitschko was deducted a point in like the 9th or 10th round.

            What kind of poll options are those? I'll say: Yes. It's on the Ref to regulate the clinching.

              Good points.

              A lot of the body shots Jennings landed during the clinches hurt Wlad badly and the scorecards were garbage. I feel Jennings really exposed Wlad with those body shots, and thankfully someone finally made him pay for the excessive clinching. Jennings was someone who was actually willing to do something about it, instead of simply complaining. A couple nice hooks to the head in the later rounds and it would have been a different outcome.

                Just reminded me how great the ref was in the Klitschko/Jennings fight.

                  This is me being honest here, no hate:

                  He is painful to watch. Id basically rather watch a game of what Americans call "football" with its incessant stopping and starting.

                    We'll change it to "handegg" soon. Sorry about that.

                      Wlad-Pulev was reasonably entertaining because Pulev stood in front of him with no movement whatsoever and invited Wlad to KHTFO. The Jennings fight was awful, as was the Povetkin one & Leapai.
