Was it just me or was Wlad Klitchsko scared to hell to throw a right hand??

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

Sultan is no push over he can adapt to any fighter and any style so Wlad had to be cautious and Sultan had to be very awkward last night for obvious reasons.

he won the fight without hardly throwing the right hand because he didn't need to throw it, he won it with a jab alone

Very well put rep to ya.

While that is true, I know I for one don't want that to become a habit with him.


But he must be doing something right, he's getting the same flack Lennox Lewis got when he first became champion

Lyle Wlad Klitchsko done awful IMO, he is a disgrace if he's scared to throw a right hand all night

He looked so panicky in there that's bad for boxing.

He wasn't "panicky" he was measured in his approach which is why he won the fight. He was a little too measured but hey it beats him having to pick himself off the canvas.

You jump on a southpaw with power and maybe this is what you get...

Southpaws cause more trouble in fights than excitement

IMO he was panicky, he was scared to shit to get countered and I mean SCARED TO SHIT and so just few a few jabs now and again .

Well fine...some fighters don't like to fight certain styles....the fact Wladimir was able to win as big as he did is a testament to how much he has learned when fighting a counterpunching southpaw.

Now had Sultan been a little taller maybe it would have helped Sultan's offense or maybe Sultan wouldn't have been able to hide from that right hand so well. Sultan was in a crouch the entire fight, waiting to catch Wlad off balance.

It wasn't Wlad's best effort but hell his whole career isn't defined by this fight vs Sultan.

Look at it from Wlad's perspective the road was too long and hard to throw it all away on an easy win. He won with the jab and that also disappointed Sultan because he was wanting Wlad to overextend himself but Wlad didn't fall for it,think about it, Sultan came into the ring with the WBO belt 22 wins 17 kos everyone keeps overlooking Sultan and he is not one to overlook.I say Sultan is alot better than anyone wants to admit and he will make other top fighters look the same way and win at the same time.

Biggest fight of his life,fans cheering him on,practically pleading with him to give them something to cheer about,an opponent beaten within the first 3 rounds and what does he do,jab,hold like a bitch whenever Sultan comes ANYWHERE NEAR him and doesn't throw anything bar the jab for 95% of the fight. It was a golden chance for the HW to get some respect,especially Wladimir. Sultan was beaten i round 3 already. Shocking fight,rerrible performance. Sure,he won but this was a chance to really get the HW back on the map and give the fans something to cheer for.
