But, when I saw how bad it was with this edited version of the fight, focused specifically on Wlad's holding behind the neck and pushing Povetkin downwards, then I saw and realize how REALLY bad and egregious it was/is.
It was so bad that it may warrant post-fight sanctions if they could on BOTH Wlad, Wlad's camp and the referee in this instance.
The judges could do nothing if the ref didn't decide to take action. No ref should allow any fighter to get away with this.
It's bad enough Wlad is smattering his reign with non-descript contenders like Leapai, Mormeck, Wach and Pianetta- but does he have to resort to this and people allow him to?
NO!! This was as disgraceful as it gets. We should continually speak on this. Disgraceful!!
