Agreed but 2 of the "knockdowns" were clear forearm to the face pushes.
Hey knockdown or not Wlad was going for the KO....people have complained about him not trying to close the show and he tried right then to score the KO.
He was pushing because his hands were free and Povetkin was hanging on, he did the very same thing when he KO'd Sam Peter. I don't know of a single fighter who when he has a guy hurt won't try like hell to finish him, Wlad did push and he was warned and had a point deducted and the rest of the fight he went back to doing as he had been. He's damned if he does damned if he doesn't.
I guarantee you if Povetkin had Wlad hurt and Wlad was hanging on, everyone would be 100% for Povetkin pushing and doing whatever it took to get Wlad on the canvas.
Boxing is a rough game, Povetkin ain't the first or last guy to get tossed or pushed to the canvas
I have no issue with him being tossed down, hell I don't care if Klitschko picked him up and landed him on Michael buffers head.
My issue is that the ref shouldn't have counted it as a legitimate knock down, and he should have at the very least had a word with Klitschko about forearming.
You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
