Klitschko Sparring Partner 'He HURT MY BACK when he LEANED on me. I needed TIME OFF!'

[!!Captain]

In a stunning revelation about Wladimir Klitschko's leaning and spoiling tactics, sparring partner Michael Hunter confirms that Wlad practices leaning on opponents in sparring. He says he was injured from these tactics that Wlad employed to the extent that he had to take time off sparring to recover. We can deduce from this clearly that Wlad uses these tactics illegally in the ring to try and wear down boxers with weight alone and without anything related to actual boxing! Following this revelation, I think it's very important that a referee is selected who does, in no way, allow Wladimir to use his leaning tactics. It's not part of boxing, it's more wrestling related if anything IMO.

Stop posting garbage conclusions, you sound like a moron.

[Evil Abed]

Leaning on a opponent is nothing new.

[uoykcuf]

Not cheating, almost all boxers lean on each other to tire their opponent out. Now if you point to clinching, I think you'd have a better case but its sometimes hard to tell who is doing the clinching. By the way, Wlad's going to make this fight look easy so Diva Haye looks like a fool saying Wlad's opponents are only fat bums. Those so called fat bums I bet put up a better fight than Diva.

This is nothing new. Lewis did it. it's what Steward trains his boxers to do

Haye should just take a knee every time wlad tries that crap. There is no need for Haye to waste energy letting wlad lean on him. If the ref does nothing, then it's time to start the dirty tactics.

....5 knees and your boy lose the fight.

Haye or any other opponent should not have to take the leaning. If the ref doesn't do anything after it's highlighted to them, then Haye should start accidentally punching low every time he is leaned on.

Um, taking a knee is a knockdown. You're right he should take a knnee everytime he gets held.

I'm intrigued to see the 'remedy' Haye apparently has in store for Klitschko when he tries it.

Um, You can only get Knocked down by a punch. If he falls the ref should call it a push......

Taking a knee on purpose is a knockdown dude. You get counted when you do that. Did you see Brewster Lyakovich?
