Wlad fan but this fight sickens me. I often didn't find his clinching as bad as made out but I wouldn't even try defending this 'fight'.
Just absolute muck. If I could erase any fight in history from my memory\boxing history it'd be this.
Probably the worst fight I've ever seen they should of seriously issued everyone a refund and compensated them, this was not a boxing match.

Whats the point of pinpointing some highlights. The fight lasted 12 rounds, of course klitschko is going to hit him from range. Thats what he is good at.
But he didnt allow povetkin to use his strenghts at all. He was jabbing and clinching. 1,2 and clinch. Clinching and clinching. Leaning on povetkins back. What is povetkin supposed to do?
Cant win a fight from long and midrange, gets shut down due to clinches from close-range and the referee was happy to allow klitschko to do his thing.
He was penalized for the same thing in his fights against haye and jennings, in countries, where he doesnt get the benefit.

There's either some extreme noobicism going on, or pure bias and dishonesty.
Ward, wlad, and mayweather all used the clinch to slow down their opponents momentum.

that was wlad's worst fight to me, nothing to celebrate
povetkin came out with more fans if anything
with that said, joshua seemed tactically ******ed compared to wladimir and i don't think he would have been able to maintain such a disciplined (yet cheap) strtaegy. povetkin would have broken through and turned it into a slugfest at least momentarily.
