How did you score Klitschko v Povetkin?

[Vendettos]

I scored it 115-108 to Klitschko and I believe 119-104 on all cards was harsh.


K-P

Is how I had it.

Round 7 was a disgrace with the 2 forearm push downs.

The entire fight was a bit shady, with Klitschko holding, hugging and getting away with it.

If the ref warned him early, there's a good chance Povetkin would have faired better but he was just allowed to do it.


Round 7 was one of the worst refereeing rounds I have seen for a while.

Round 7 was Wlad going for a KO, and Povetkin holding on for dear life.

Agreed but 2 of the "knockdowns" were clear forearm to the face pushes.

[erics44]

it shouldnt have even got to round 7

[awdleyfuturehalloffamer]

It wasn't boxing, that's for sure. Closer to wrestling.

Hey knockdown or not Wlad was going for the KO....people have complained about him not trying to close the show and he tried right then to score the KO.

He was pushing because his hands were free and Povetkin was hanging on, he did the very same thing when he KO'd Sam Peter. I don't know of a single fighter who when he has a guy hurt won't try like hell to finish him, Wlad did push and he was warned and had a point deducted and the rest of the fight he went back to doing as he had been. He's damned if he does damned if he doesn't.

I guarantee you if Povetkin had Wlad hurt and Wlad was hanging on, everyone would be 100% for Povetkin pushing and doing whatever it took to get Wlad on the canvas.

Boxing is a rough game, Povetkin ain't the first or last guy to get tossed or pushed to the canvas

I have no issue with him being tossed down, hell I don't care if Klitschko picked him up and landed him on Michael buffers head.

My issue is that the ref shouldn't have counted it as a legitimate knock down, and he should have at the very least had a word with Klitschko about forearming.

Fine...you know what, have it your way take away every single knockdown and what score do you get?

Lyle rough game and illegal game are two different reptiles.

[brocktonblockbust]

Rocky Marciano did plenty of illegal things and I do not defend that. Klit does plenty of illegal things and Moonbat Lyle defends them.

[Beanflicker]

It was a complete shit show, but I did have it as a shutout for Klitschko.

[El Kabong]

Lyle rough game and illegal game are two different reptiles.

It's only a foul when the ref calls it. You get some refs who will call everything, some won't call anything, some will warn a lot, some immediately take points....in 64 fights Wlad has seen a lot of refs, he's a pro, and if he bends the rules to his favor then he's joining a great deal of fighters who have also done that.

Hate to break it to you, but Wlad's "cheating" is nothing special

It's not defending "illegal tactics" it's just the way life works Brockton, sometimes you get the calls sometimes you don't. Had the ref warned earlier and taken a point earlier do you think that would have changed the result? I don't, but the reality of the situation is you have to play the hand you're dealt.

[Spicoli]

Got up to 2-2 and then the Stella's started to win on effective aggression and legal punching.

Seriously, it was painful
