Wlad Klitschko is a disgrace....and so is that Ref.

"Wlad's just like a Great Dane that wants to constantly climb up and sit on your lap for cuddle. He scores loads of stoppages almost by accident, but lacks killer instincts."

That about covers it.

I certainly wish you'd complain about it more

Look that was a chronic display of pugilistic profanity. In the end it makes little difference who the combatants were, only what they did. That is the bottom line as its a boxing match after all. Pardon me its supposed to be a boxing match. That shit certainly wasn't. And this guy would clean up in the 70's lmao.

*hard to watch... but, it was both fighters as well. more so from Wlad, but both held a lot. Ref should've warned Wlad right from the start...

Painful to watch more like. Look he's the money maker of the division but that does not mean he gets to fight like its 1865. Why not bring back grappling? Fight after fight this guy does this. Are the refs not aware of this?

If Wlad were to put his hands around my neck like that repeatedly with no warning, I would be forced to spin him and hit him REALLY low or right below the belt line. Uncalled for and totally unacceptable!

Povetkin said and I quote "It was a fair fight"...going to argue with him? If it was you in there you'd get slapped down like a bitch because you're not a boxer FACT

We're always lamenting boxing's loss of fans. How can we do that on the one hand, and applaud efforts like Klitschko's on the other? It's not hating on Wlad to point this shit out. It's caring about the sport of boxing. Wlad may very well go down in history as one of the most dominant HW's in history... given in part by the shit division he fights in nowadays. But that doesn't excuse a poor, "un-fan-friendly" performance that is bound to turn many boxing fans off. Why can't we just call a spade a spade when need be? Facts are... it was a horrible fight.... the ref did a piss poor job of controlling the action and by not admonishing Wlad more during the fight... Wlad put on a shameful exhibition of grappling and pulling Povetkin's head down... etc, etc.

Well exactly. And I dont think the word "dominant" should be used in the same sentence as Wlad. He's not dominating anyone. He's winning. I was actually cheering for the guy and naively thought that there might be some bad blood. The history of the two countries and the fact that Povetkin ducked him at least twice made for a nice back drop. I also believed we might see a Brock type fight.
Instead I was reminded as to why I never cheered for the man. FFS if they would have deducted points for even half the flagrant fouls Povetkin would have gotten a draw.
