Gotzev Says Oruh Has Good Chance To KO Povetkin
By Ruslan Chikov
Boxing agent Ivaylo Gotzev thinks Teke Oruh (14-2, 6 KOs) stands a good chance to knock out unbeaten 2000 Olympic gold medal winner Alexander Povetkin (19-0, 14 KOs) on October 16 in the Russian town of Chekhov near Moscow. Gotzev says Oruh sparred in the past with IBF, WBO and IBO Heavyweight Champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) and did very well in the sessions.
Oruh will be going for a knockout from the opening bell because he thinks it's going to be very difficult to win a decision in Povetkin's country.
"When the fighters are this big, they always have a chance. In a heavyweight fight, one punch can often solve everything. Remember how Lewis was dropped in his fight with Rahman, and Klitschko's fights with Lamon Brewster, Corrie Sanders and Ross Puritey," Gotzev told Alexander Pavlov.
"Teke can beat Povetkin. He believes in himself and he's try to get it done. And all those who are very skeptical about his chances, do not understand anything in boxing. The fight will be very entertaining, and Teke give everything to the fullest. He is on getting a knockout, becasue he knows that beating Povetkin on points in Russia will be very hard."
