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

[El Kabong]

Diabolical fight,Wlad is so terrified of being KOD its hilarious,
the guy is a fucking clown

A clown who still has all the belts. And who KO's over 80% of his opposition. Hate all you want it doesn't change reality.

The reality is this is the peak Wlad and he fought frightened. At least Ali had the excuse he was past his best and old for the holding.

If you don't like it don't watch

If you've got complaints about the ref then fucking write letters to the sanctioning bodies or boycott them but don't bitch to me about the fight. I'm tired of it. Wlad KO'd Ray Austin in 2 and people STILL bitched and I'm done with reading the bullshit. You go through years of Hopkins making fights ugly or Holyfield making fights ugly or Ruiz or whoever but next to nothing was said about it.

And STILL heavyweight champion.....your bitching won't change it 1 tiny little bit

Not trying to change a think other than your eyesight and understanding that Wlad fights scared when presented with a half decent challenge. Do you not see it?

So quickly you jump to "He was scared" ....he's been champ for how long and all you guys still cling to that "he's scared". If Wlad was half as bad as everyone bitching says he is he wouldn't ever have earned a title shot much less been THE MAN in the division for so long.

[Mr140]

He fights so there no way he can lose which is something that is hard to argue with i mean he its been working for a while. This is the first time i think i seen Wald lose a round in a while though.

Meh he's lost a round or two early on in fights every so often

I dont hate Wlad at all,i am just saying he is a terrible excuse for a champion,
he is so boring most of the bums he fights just collapse,He is a average fighter
in a seriously shit heavyweight scene.Anyone calling him a legend needs a bit
of lead in there ear.

Whether you think he's boring or not is beside the point.... He wins and winning is the point

[ruthless rocco]

acts like a pussy, fights like a pussy, cheats like a pussy and wins like a pussy.
if winning is all that matters, like you say, then that's fine.

i guess that's why you guys love defending him the way you do -- cause you recognize yourselves in his success. and it makes you feel better about being massive pussies.

[Mr140]

Man all this pussy talk from a guy who has probably never been in a ring grow up dude. No one is saying it was a great fight but he did win he did make a 17 million dollars and then goes and fucks some hot actress after word. I mean what pussy right he is also a good person as well out side the ring well educated and helps people in need man what pussy he must be. This is fucking retard you know i used not like Wald but man he gets so much shit i find my self defending him for some reason dear god.

[El Kabong]

All the complainers just need to say what they mean which is ...

"I'm upset because Wlad won"

and maybe we can all chip in and get a good deal on some tissues so you can wipe away your tears


Hate all you want but that was Successful title defense #15 in a row

I do not hate Wlad, I like everything about him and how he carries himself. However that performance was dire and no one can see it different.

im upset because i really dont know if the current Heavyweight champion of the world is a worthy Heavyweight Champion of the World because he doesnt fight within the rules

id love wlad to have a fight with provetkin, stand up straight, box him, throw loads of jabs and a few combos and blast provetkin out of there in a few exciting rounds

it would be mint, an entertaining night of boxing

instead he just leant on him for 12 founds, and his main weapon was the leaning, did more damage than the punching

id like someone to count the number of punches landed against the number of leans, i bet there isnt that much difference

[p4pking]

Lyle you make a real ass of yourself here, it's no different than Ross in Tyson Fury threads. Nobody else cares nearly as much about whether Wlad wins, as you do. Do you actually fail to realize that? You are the fan, and the one obsessed about his results. Everyone expected Wlad to win, who is bitter about it? I don't like any fighter enough to rather see them win an abortion than lose a boxing match, or the other way round. That goes for the majority of people here I imagine, the ones you accuse of being "haters" all of a sudden. Anyone who didn't have a dog named Wladimir on saturday HATED what they watched, it's really that simple.

if it was a boxing fight tho it may well be a different story

i thought id bring that up as its a boxing forum

Mods can we have a hugging section please

I never said the fight was "edge of your seat exciting" but that's not the point of boxing...it's NICE when a fight is exciting but it isn't a requirement. Being able to win an ugly fight is a necessity for a good champion, just ask Bernard Hopkins. I called people out on their hypocrisy for loving up on Hatton, Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson et al who constantly and consistently got away with worse fouls but it's ok because for some reason when those guys fouled it was acceptable or it wasn't called by the referee. Roberto Duran won a title by punching Ken Buchannan square in the dick...where's the constant outrage for that?

I suppose this insolent response will earn me another neg rep from you with another whiny reason behind it...those are soo terribly traumatic

[El Kabong]

Oh of course, Wlad would have been in REAL trouble then I mean it's not like the guy doesn't know what the fuck he's doing in a boxing ring. This is the thing, you assume because Wlad fights as he does that he can't box properly.....did anyone ever assume that with someone like Hopkins or Holyfield? And don't say Wlad does more or less of what they do because it's dodging the question....did anyone ever assume that Hopkins or Holyfield couldn't box? Yes or No?
