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

[TitoFan]

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?

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.
