KLITSCHKO v POVETKIN - HBO/BOXNATION - Saturday Night CHAT THREAD

[CFH]

I don't think I have ever wanted to see a fighter punch the other guy in the balls as much as I do right now.

[IamInuit]

Lol this hack ref called a push a kd and a kd a push.

[armin]

Stands on the outside lands three clean ones and jumps in to tie up wtf? Fuck wlad wtf for are you tyin up for

[imp]

Wlad looks as though he should be in another heavyweight divison. So huge.

Wlad is in perfect shape as always.

Boring but effective.

[Beanflicker]

Is he? I'm not sure he is. He could be, but the way he "fights" relies heavily on illegal tactics that referees just don't punish.

If you can get away with it, why not? All the greats have resorted to nasty tactics at times.

[Violent Demise]

Puerto Rican ref has no fucking idea how to ref. I'm not surprised.

[armin]

Manny would have a gun to klits head at this pt to ko povetkin or he's getin it to the skull

[Fenster]

Size is not an advantage for Wlad.

[Spicoli]

Brunette in the camo short shorts wins round 9. Easily.

Of course they do, but Wlad bases his entire style around it (perhaps because he is so afraid to get hit). I don't blame him for doing it either, but it leads me to conclude that he is not a great fighter, just a very effective one.

Put him in there with a fighter of equal size and comparable skill who won't let him get away with that shit and lets see what happens.

[Violent Demise]

Povetkin: He keeps leaning on me and pushing my head down

Ref: You're the one going inside

[ruthless rocco]

Massive vagina!

[Spicoli]

I'm done with Wlad. Defended him many times, but this is utter unbearable drunken tough man contest garbage.

[Beanflicker]

but it leads me to conclude that he is not a great fighter, just a very effective one.

I would argue that they are one and the same.

[armin]
