Last time Wlad fought in Mannheim he KO'd Ray Austinnext time he'll KO Povetkin! Wlad should look good destroying this guy......he's custom made for Wlad.
On December 13, IBF mandatory Alexander Povetkin is planning to show the world that IBF/WBO champion Wladimir Klitschko is the past. The battle of Olympic Gold Medal winners will take place at the SAP Arena in Mannheim. Povetkin believes that Klitschko is his big chance to make a statement. [details]
i don't want any of the klits wasting the limited time left that they have fighting a plodding second tier guy like povetkin. i mean weve had to already sit thru so many pathetic matchups with these klits! iggie, sambo...sheesh!
Povetkin is getting KOed, plain and simple. Wlad has too much skill, size and waaaay too much power. It will be fun while it lasts, but this one isnt going the distance.
Styles make fights and Povetkin's style is tailor made for Wlad.
Wlad by KO
Hopefully Povetkin can recover from this KO loss and make a successful comeback. Like Tunney said, Povetkin is a very good fighter and can beat anyone in the division not named Klitschko.
It's pretty much a forgone conclusion that Povetkin's getting knocked out. He's tailor made for Wladimir. Hopefully for the viewers sake he can make a fight out of it. I wonder who Teddy Atlas thinks will win this fight
Povetkin is wide open and is very limited, but i like his power and his work rate is good as well. However, hes not beating either Klitschko, any of the current champions, Arreolla, Thomson, Chambers in a rematch or Haye. A focused Chambers could actually stop him late.
Chambers was landing pretty often (and easily) on Povetkin for the first couple of rounds. All Wlad needs to do is land a couple of jabs and one or two crazy ass right hands and it's game over.
Believe it or not, Wlad's punches are just as fast if not faster than Chambers' but punches about 1,000x harder.
