Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Don't Think Povetkin Really Recovered After Dillian Whyte Hurt Him In 1st Round

[P4Pdunny]

Povetkin was wobbly and looked out of sorts before anything even landed

You mean that thirty seconds of stubling and bumbling he did when he wasn't touched? It's why so many of us thought he was drunk after Shadoww mentioned he was stumbling to the ring. Everything about Sasha looked off.

Hearn's comments could be shortened to "Povetkin never really recovered."

lmfao all that needs to be said.

Well, all week I thought Povetkin did not seem well. During the first fight he seemed to be the fitter fighter, that was why I leaning towards him winning over the distance in the rematch.

Povetkin looked solid in the first fight, both in condition and his demeanor 'He was a entirely different fighter all this week, and for sure during the fight'.

Many people have also been sharing my opinion, that he was ill 'Unwell and not recovered from his issues'.

This is just Hearn being a promoter and trying to minimize that povetkin was a washed up fighter with COVID while trying to make it seem that we should be impressed by Whyte.

Washed up fighter?

was there something inaccurate about what I said? Was povetkin in his prime at 40 plus years old? Was he not hospitalized for COVID? Is he not clearly shot? So unless there’s something off by what I said, the only assumption I can make is that you’re a sensitive weirdo whose feelings got hurt by accurate statements.

Not sure why some are shocked, i mentioned this right after the fight on here, he didn’t really recover from the shot he took from the first round. Credit to Whyte, he did what he had to do.

The KO he suffered could have mentally affected him, but you can see he is mentally tough, he wanted that fight right away, he didn’t shrink or let people affect him. He didn’t go into hiding for 9 months.

Having said all of that, Povetkin was is shot, he was shot before their first fight, he was showing slippage against Price, and even against Hunter. He pull that KO over Whyte due to his veteran experience and hopefully he retires now.
