    It's ludicrous to call Wlads win over Povetkin a dominant performance. It probably should have been, what made it so grating to watch was the fact that Povetkin actually had more success getting inside than any opponent in recent years. If it had been a boxing match, it would have been interesting to see what happened. And yes, Povetkin was largely at fault as well for accepting the clinches like he did, but the fact remains it was Wlad who should have been warned immediately and forced to box like a professional.

    Alright "dominant" might be not such a great term to use really there but he did punch his head in the whole time in between the clinches.

    You might say Wlad only boxed 6 rounds lol

    I thought povetkin has been wlads toughest fight, haye was not an easy win at all but povetkin made wladimir very uncomfortable and he held, leaned and wrestled a lot more.. when he did let his punchs go he landed some great shots on povetkin who has a strange abilty to be out on his feet but not fall over :S I actually want to see a rematch with a stricter ref before both of these guys get too old.. I think wladimir would win but it would be a lot closer on the scorecards than anything he has had recently.. I am a povetkin fan though :S

    Anyway as leapai i thought it was pretty obvious he was trying but when he was trying to get at wladimir wladimir was hitting him with hard jabs and hooks, he even put him down in round one :S lepai did try to get at him, he even used his samoan bowler punch(it missed :S).. but wladimir has knocked down or at least severly rocked better guys than lepai with quick hooks in the early stages of fights and they all slowed down a bit afterwards.. I dont think it is so easy to charge at wladimir take a hard hook and just keep going...... I dont knwo what people were expecting of leapai he upset boytsov with a good performance in a fight that was meant to make boytsov teh mandatory and he took over this slot, he just inst a world class fight, he tried, I think his tactics were wrong but to be honest he was always going to lose.. No shame in leapais performance in my opinion

    really if your fat ass could do better then maybe you are in the wrong job, leapai got paid over a million dollars for this fight... not bad for being a fat loser as some say...
