It's only a foul when the ref calls it....are you Brits retarded when it comes to refereeing??? I'm starting to think so.
Fenster, again, READING COMPREHENSION, nobody is saying "Say Wlad and Lennox are equals" only they have more similar styles of fighting. Comparing Wlad & Lennox is more appropriate than Wlad & Marciano. So one making an argument can say "Lewis has a whole bunch of explosive performances against top world-class dangerous punchers, Wlad has none" and it be more of an apples to apples comparison and one I'm more willing to accept seeing how they're both big, both trained by Manny Steward, etc..if you're going to get offended by something at the very least allow me to call you a cunt beforehand.
OK, I agree, comparing Wlad with Lennox makes more sense than comparing him with Marciano or Dempsey. But Henry Akinwande is surely a far better comparison than Lewis? Both huge guys, liked to spoil and hold, always in dull fights.
Feel free to call me a cunt. I am one of the biggest still breathing.

Here's the deal, PROFESSIONAL BOXERS are going to have to deal with some refs who call fights more by the book than others, it's something you just have to go with the flow about. Povetkin and his team surely knew what they were in store for from Wladimir, I mean they only had 63 fights of his to watch.

Once in the ring and seeing that's you're not getting calls if you thought they were fouls, there's little you can do but
ADJUST YOUR GAMEPLAN.
erics44, you box do you not? Do you cry about the refs you get this much or do you say "Fuck it I'm going to try to win the fight regardless of what the ref does"?
Povetkin said "It was a fair fight"
What more do you want? Pabon called the fight the way he saw fit, if you don't like it then go become a ref and call the fights differently yourself.
I've not accused anyone of "knowing nothing about boxing", I just question everyone's grasp on reality if they expect perfection from authority figures in anything. In sport or work or anything....don't rely on someone else to do your job for you. Povetkin's job was to win the fight, the fans blame the ref, Povetkin blames himself.
i watched the fight, it wasnt a fair fight
i am amazed anyone who watched it would agree that wlad followed the rules of boxing, and that the refferee was being fair
obviously someone who didnt know anything about boxing and had only ever watched wlad fights might agree his ability to hold on was amazing and within the rules
in fact his ability to hold on was amazing, it just isnt within the rules
and wlad is so good at holding on (which isnt in the rules by the way) that is very difficult for any fighter to change his game plan and avoid the clinching and hugging and holding on and leaning and grabbing and cuddling

If the ref doesn't call a foul then there is no foul....it is just that simple. Wlad didn't look to the ref when Sam Peter clocked him behind the head a few times, he just got up and dealt with the reality of the situation. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. When a ref isn't calling fouls, and you as a fighter think you're being fouled then FOUL BACK. Make the ref address the issue or just accept defeat. You're advocating that everyone just accept defeat because you say Wlad is so good at what he does...well then I guess he'll be champ for a long time coming

Well, The Foreman "five" was pretty much a total staged farce.
But I wouldn't trade one Foreman-Lyle for a lifetime of Wladimir Clinchko frankly.

I don't think youre stupid enough to believe that that ref doesn't ref all of wlads fight for a very good reason, are you?
