Povetkin has 46 seconds to prove himself.

[Rosseboi]

I used to be really hyped for Povetkin but now after all his talk and little follow through for Wladimir I'm thinking he's Russia's version of David Haye now.

Ibragimov dominated Mora in just 46 seconds so in mind Povetkin has it all to prove. He may have taken Mora as a simple stepping stone 'warm up' but his perfomance in this fight will be measured against Ibragimov's no question. Anything less than crippling dominance and its obvious he's far from top tier HW talent.

He seems to have gotten slower, less athletic and more lead footed in recent years in my mind too. Maybe that's just me but it seems that way.

cmon now you cant use that whole "well so and so beat him by this round" theory you know that

Povetkin should get Monster out of there in a few but to say he has 46 seconds is laughable

I thought Povetkin was quite in a roll and beating some decent names. And, the Chambers win IMO was his best win. Byrd was on the downside but still pretty good win. I just think the injury he suffered slowed down his momentum... So I don't believe he has to KO Mora in just 46 seconds... He has to win and look impressive while doing it.

Time's up.

I'll say he'll stop mora inside 4 rounds. more got hurt almost everytime he got hit by johnathan banks in his last fight.
