Don Steinberg on ESPN.com said "Klitschko is 14-2 with 12 KOs in title fights. It sounds exciting, but the fights have been dreary. (Against Ray Austin in 2007, Klitschko won by TKO in Round 2 without ever throwing a right hand.)"

Yeah...."dreary"...that describes the Austin fight

I'm sorry that KO is pretty well worth the time they spent "feeling each other out". Wlad showed a solid jab and good defense up until the KO but it just shows you when Wlad knows he can finish someone he does it. His fight with Calvin Brock was also pretty good as well.

Most of the people that hate on Wlad either have another heavyweight they like or they don't want to admit that Wlad has top notch boxing skill despite having flaws that would have derailed the careers of lesser skilled fighters.
