Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin-Dillian Whyte II: Stats & Stakes

[diarraisagod]

I think it's crazy to think Povetkin's the favourite here. Not only is he another year older but we don't know how much Covid took out of him either

... and it's not like he was beating Whyte around the ring last time, he was being handily beaten and on the way to being stopped until he landed an uppercut that would've KO'd pretty much anybody. It was a fantastic punch, he timed Whyte brilliantly, but I'm not convinced he can land such a perfect punch twice.

Looking forward to the fight and finding out

He is not the favorite. Povetkin is quite the underdog at the books.

By favourite here I was referring to the prediction by the writer

Yeah, I am kind of surprised it isn't closer odds as Povetkin is favored by more than a few people.

What the covid did, is the question for me. Getting KOd didn't raise Whytes chances and Povetkin was already half shot a year ago. He doesn't look good.

Whyte probably wins this. But will be surprised if he shows anything more than he always has. A second tier HW.
