A host of boxing officials have informed David Fields to warn and enforce the rules on Klitschko for his holding, leaning and grabbing tactics.


This is great news. No one wants to see boring Klitschko jab and grab. Hold and lean on people.

whoever reffed his last fight in MSG made the fight watchable. Most Wlad fights are horrible. I am hopeful this fight gives boxing a little boost for the rest of the year since its already been a really good year IMO.

Ward fans calls pot kettle black

At least Klitschko usually knocks the other guy out after boring us all to tears.

Yeah I agree. I haven't watched a Klitschko fight since Klitschko fought Povetkin. The leaning on and holding and grabbing for the whole fight was boring, frustratingly boring as hell. I was just waiting to watch the Cotto fight which was paired with Klitschko's fight. But I damn near almost fell completely asleep and almost missed the Cotto fight. Lol

It's a win win for the fans.

I don't think he can do that so easily to AJ anyway so it won't likely be an issue. If Wlad was active in the clinch, like Ward, I wouldn't care but just pot-shotting and holding until the ref comes in, like Hopkins, is annoying as all hell.

I'm not a Ward fan, I post positive things about him when you and the rest of the brigade go at him with anti-black biased garbage.

I don't care if a fight ends in a KO or not. Only casual fans care about that.
