Alexander Povetkin: "I Will Snatch Klitschko's Titles"

[edgarg]

PS. I didn't do the sit ups in one set. I did 50 push ups for 4 days straight to pay them off. I could never do 200 straight even in my dreams.

I watched Frank Bruno once, doing about 200 or something. While he did his push ups, his trainer pressed his forehead down. I'd never seen it before, and almost fainted by how hard he worked to achieve success. Keep goin' with your training, I'll bet you make 200 if you go for it![/QUOTE]
The GREAT GAMA, the most famous wrestler in the world, used to do about 2,000 push ups each morning, along with many other calisthenics. He was only 5'7", and weighted about 200lbs of solid muscle. He wasxwrestling until a very adb]vanced age, was Never beaten, not even "for show" like the present crappers. It was beneath his dignity.

He was avoided by most of the top wrestlers, and the few top guys he managed to get into the ring he beat in mere seconds. Look him up on the internet, I remember that the RING did a long feature on him many years ago, which i hope I have around somewhere, which got me interested in him.

Nothing looked wrong with Povetkin besides the hand speed of Chambers, and it just seems like an excuse for the lesson he was getting. Why did he fight and how did he have the strength to bring non stop pressure for 6 consecutive rounds? Also, if Chambers was landing on him like THAT then Haye would really be too much.

come on man. haye's chin is much worst than povetkins and he's still untested at heavyweight. povetkin has descent power and hits a hell of a lot harder than any cruiser that amost stopped him. I wouldnt be surrised if he blitzed haye out in the first couple rounds. hell,,we dont even know just how haye's power will carry up. knocking out tomato cans at heavy proves nothing

Thanks, even though i highly doubt I'd do that many any time soon. Its always good to have support though. I have been working out since the age of 13( not consistently though), and i still can't do more than 50 sit ups in one set. I just never had strength like that.

Unless you are very fit, and have huge back muscles along your spine, situps are risky.
You can burst a disc that way,......believe me.......

Because he is a warrior with a BIG HEART....he was puking in his bucket in between rounds and was definitely sick.

Chambers is just another typical American heavyweight that has the skill....but dosen't have the will.

Our Eastern European heavyweights are stronger, tougher, hungrier and have the true will to win...we will continue dominating the heavyweight division for a very, very long time.

He certainly shouldn't have been puking, since he should have had nothing in his stomach by fight time. Maybe he sneaked some grub, and got hit in the wrong place, or the energetic moving around brought it up. I remember that happened to me in the middle of a rugby match, and I only had a very thin sandwich.

lol Povetkin can beat any heavy weight but the klitschos, only a white person would say that, Povetkin is really overrated, Povetkin is gonna get ktfo by vlad and everybody knows that. Klitscho fans love to over hype there opponents.

A Russian bear can lick a Ukrainian ***** any day of the week. All Povetkin has to do is learn how to throw an overhand right. Good bye Klitschko, been nice knowing you!

I must apologize to you and Gridiron, because i meant push ups. I can't do more than 50 in one set, but i can definitely blow out some sit ups though. They are the easiest workout for me. I don't do sit ups, i do crunches. They are better for your abs and the burn is better. They are also better for your back where as sit ups feel like hell. When you feel that burn, then you know that you are doing them right.

For a lot of us on this forum, English isn't our mother tongue (me, for example ... our should it be "I"?) Instead, we happily practise Don Kinglish (isn't he famous for inventing new words). Push ups, sit ups or any ups and downs, for us Don K's () it's hard at times to know which is which. You talked about push ups, I answered by talking sit ups. edgarg made it right and spread wisdom by saying 'take it easy' with sit ups. I have my own, painful experience of not doing that.

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!

I dont know what you mean? Poavtkin is was a gold-meddalist and is mandatory, hes an talented, undefeated young heavyweight. Hes one of the best already. He will give Wlad a harder time than Austin, Ibragimov, Thompson or Brock.

[Chunk..]

Dimitrenko would have a better chance of beating Wlad.
