[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

K2 Promotions, the promotional company of WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (51-3, 45 KOs), put in the winning purse bid to win the rights to Klitschko's mandatory title defense against IBF mandatory Alexander Povetkin (16-0, 12 KOs). K2 placed a very high bid of $13,130,130, while Povetkin's promoter, Sauerland Event, put in $8,114,140. [details]

Unless Povetkin fixed gaps in his defense, he's getting knocked out.

Just to update


Povetkin didn't stop Chris Byrd in the first round

This should be an exciting fight.

Wlad fighting 3 times this year is great, at least he is not keeping the belts hostage.

IMO, Povetkin has a legit shot at winning, he is the hungrier HW fighter out there. So far I'll call the odds at 70-30 in favor of Wlad.

I agree. Povetkin had trouble with Chambers' jab. Imagine what Wlads will do to him. TKO sometime after rd. 5.

I have a feeling Povetkin will put up a better fight than most people think but I still like Wladimir by KO
