Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Ability To Perform Was Greatly Affected By COVID, Says Manager

[champion4ever]

No, Covid may have played a factor but the man is just simply old. It's now time for Sasha to retire. The balance in his legs are shot. They are weak.

Not buying it. He looked like crap in the last fight too outside of one punch. He was going to lose this fight Covid-19 or not.

^^^^^^^ This right here.

Of course, and given his age, I think the writing was on the wall. The under 7.5 was given almost even money so it was an easy bet to make!

Then there should be a trilogy. they are even 1 and 1.

Manager you are sick in the head then, however many of us see that he has aged and taking shots isn’t in his favor either but if you want to get him killed or hurt badly Mr. Manager go right ahead I’m sure his family will find you responsible after this dumb accusation.

LOL I said Povetkin was easy pickings before the first fight. Anyone legit think he would have asked for a fight after how he looked after fighting Price or Joshua?

All that and he still managed to pull off that KO. Its actually kinda embarrassing when you think about it.

Doesnt he know that these kind of excuses only work for the guys that the sky commentary team want to win?

Then why did you let him get in the ring if he wasn't fit to fight in the first place? he couldn't have been knocking out everyone at the gym leading up to the fight and all of a sudden start getting affected by covid on fight night, right? Why doesn't his camp say it like it is? he went in there for the money and probably didn't care about winning the fight. Now they're using covid as an excuse so that he can justify losing in order to get another chance at a payday. It's bad sport and it takes away from Whyte's deserved win.

Cause he made 12 million pounds? Cause he was contractually forced to fight Whyte, or else he would have to pay back parts of his purse from the first fight?

But Whyte deserves an easy fight next.

They could have postponed the fight. He wasn't forced to do anything.
