    Not as disgraceful as Ward Vs. Kessler.

      To me they are all kind of skirting the fine line of being "dirty" fighters, when Bhop and ward do clutch and grab they do it with more ring craft it seems to me.

      Wlad does it with the look and feel of pure panic

        There is no real ring craft of genius trait to grabbing hold of someone, I think Ward looked desperate when he was doing it against Kovalev, he was bloody well shooting in for a double-leg takedown at times and ramming his shoulder off of Kovalev, that's not boxing!
        Even when B-hop fought Smith Jr, It was abysmal, Hopkin often holds to make up for his terrible condition at his advanced age it's understanding, but Ward is still young and fit and capable so what is his excuse?

            I like Wlad a lot, but to say his style is 'somewhat' of an eyesore is funny. Even when he knocks his opponents out he looks slow, methodical and boring.

              The only time lately in which he looked somewhat watchable was against Wach. Because of Wachs size and punching bag style Klitschko moved around the ring and landing vicious punches against him without resorting to clinch him.

                Pulev fight was pretty fun to watch.

                  The Brewster and Purrity fights were his most entertaining imo.
