Povetkin is kind of heavy, I thought he'll come in lighter than that.

That's not a bad card, Slyvester and Platov are both fighting on the undercard. Slyvester is coming off a big TKO win over Asikainen and Platov is a young up and coming Ukrainian Heavyweight with a good record.

Does anybody have a stream for Povetkin vs Byrd and the other fights ?

Hes eating to much russian food. But i believe he trained real hard and is in shape.
Byrd came in at 211, seems to be in great shape!

That's what I read too. But I also read that Povetkin now has a diet specialist in his camp because it's his 1st 12 rounder. Didn't seem to do much though.

Exactly!

How someone who has never fought a 12 round fight before participates in the HW title elimination tourney is beyond my comprehension

I really think that they are moving him up too quickly to fsce the likes of Byrd, Chambers/Brock..

I think even being the olympian, he is way too green

I reckon Povetkin will win this with a late rounds TKO/KO.
This fella is Hungry.
For success as well as Borscht.

Povetkin, Byrd weigh-in!
