I heard Klits get paid more for the fight going longer. Hence why Wlad carries fighters for so many rounds when he could them out of there anytime. Fight against Chambers comes to mind.Quote:

My boss used to know a guy in their camp who told us that it was in his contract. Cant remember his name though.Quote:

pulev beat a guy who showed up on a weeks notice... who had no sparring for this fight or any major training and still got knocked down :S.... not great signs for pulev.. if ever takes on wlad he's getting ko;d
No, it doesn't mean much, it was just a flash knockdown. Kubrat was eager to get the KO and he left himself open. Abell always had one-punch KO power, he has 28 KO in his 29 wins.Quote:

abell was also not training for any fight and had not sparred for a long time, pulevs team looked for someone to take advantage of, he would not go near abell if abell was training for a fight... poor form from pulev and co but he's built a padded record and got his title shot so he has to keep that safe...Quote:

Official WBC statement on Vitali Klitschko
World Boxing Council
The WBC is proud and honored to confirm the status of Vitali Klitschko as WBC Heavyweight World Champion Emeritus. Undoubtedly, Vitali has earned that distinction through his actions inside and outside the ring.
Vitali Klitschko is fighting the fight of his life, this time outside the ring. Vitali is showing to the world what is the true heart of a champion by leading his countrymen to battle in the streets in their search of human equality, rights and peace for the great country of the Ukraine.
Vitali Klitschko announced his candidacy for the Presidency of the Ukraine, which election will take place in 2015. Vitali believed he would be able to defend his WBC Heavyweight World Championship, and wanted to do so against the WBC mandatory contender Bermane Stiverne.
Vitali attended the WBC 51st annual convention in Bangkok last November. At the convention, the representatives of the 165 countries affiliated to the WBC issued a special proclamation applauding and joining his efforts to represent boxing and the WBC in his candidacy for the presidency of the Ukraine.
With the current extreme and delicate political situation in the Ukraine, Vitali has answered his country’s call to fight for human rights and equality. Accordingly, Vitali will not be able to provide the WBC with a predictable timeframe to return to the ring. In light of those considerations, the WBC Supreme Council and the WBC Board of Governors have voted unanimously to name Vitali Klitschko WBC Heavyweight Champion Emeritus. Very few great fighters have received such an honorable distinction, which will entitle Vitali to fight for the WBC Heavyweight World Championship when he is ready to return to the ring.
The WBC joins Vitali in his struggle to fight for democracy; to promote rule and order and human equality in his country; and to follow the path of the great Nelson Mandela who paved the way for many to stand up for what they believed was right and to make this a better world.
The WBC will conduct a very special ceremony to award Vitali his WBC Emeritus Champion distinction in the very near future. In the meantime we all wish him great success in his political career.
vitali ends his career at number 38 of the all time heavyweight list on boxrec... fair or not??
gunboat smiths position in the top 50 is under pressure from wladimir... can he hold on ??
His #38 ranking doesn't include his wins over currently active boxers (Arreola, Adamek, Solis, etc) so when all is said and done he'll likely be around #28-30. [quote]Quote:

Brewster: #186
Mercer: #190
Vitali has only one win from the top 200, Sam Peter (but probably Tomasz Adamek, and possibly Chris Arreola or Odlanier Solis will be in the top 200 eventually).

Yes. And if Arreola wins the WBC title and strings together a few decent wins before he retires, it will raise Vitali's ranking.Quote:

Wladimir Klitschko: “We’ve been asking Tyson Fury about the fight and his team keeps saying he's not ready yet"
Examining the heavyweight scene in a post Klitschko era
fury is a clown :S he's got some skills and is tough but he talks a load of nonsense... wladimir should not humour him with a title shot.. I am more interested in a povetkin rematch with a stricter ref I want to see how wladimir would handle povetkin if he wasnt allowed to clinch and lean on him as much as he did I am doubting that wladimir can handle a good guy getting in close and roughing him up, never saw wlad clinch that much before and I thought he looked uncomfortable and didnt know what else to do... so let povetkin build up some momentum and provided both keep winning get the rematch on a year from now with a better ref . hopefully wlad would prove my ramblings to be nonsense..
who is next for wlad anyway, lepai ?... so next year wladimir has lepai and pulev.. if pulev wants it.. wonder if he will fight more than twice.. i hope so
