| Povetkin vs Nolan or Boswell on December 5; Beck is Out
|
|
By Ryan Burton Trainer Teddy Atlas has apparently decided Owen "What the Heck" Beck isn't a good fit for Alexander Povetkin's December 5th ring return in Germany. The ink was supposed to be "all but dried" on the contract but as is often the case in boxing, nothing is ever a done deal until the opening bell actually rings. A source not affiliated with Sauerland Event said that the German promotional company approved Beck as an opponent for the IBF mandatory contender and that everyone else with Team Povetkin was on board with the fight, except Atlas. The fight is only two weeks away and Povetkin's opponent is still to be determined. Editor's Note: A source close to Povetkin's team advised BoxingScene.com that Leo Nolan (27-1, 10KOs) and Cedric Boswell (31-1, 24KOs) are in the running to face Povetkin on the 12/5 date.

[QUOTE=edgarg;6776637]I suspect that Teddy feels that Beck would be too tough for Povetkin. He likely remembers that Beck gave Wladimir
Klitschko probably his toughest fight, even though he was KO'd in the 7th.
My recollection of that fight is that Beck's very awkward bobbing and bending def... |

Good get Beck out of there. Didn't we just learn what happens to stale fighters who don't challenge themselves? If you didn't, rewatch Kessler's performance from Saturday. Seriously, without risk you won't learn, and without challenge you won't progress. Povetkin needs to feel Boswell's power... |
