[Steelhammer2011]

The scared coward David Haye has pussied out AGAIN.

So now the IBF/WBO/IBO/RING Unified World Heavyweight Champ Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KOs) will defend his belts against the Undefeated #1 Contender Alexander Povetkin (19-0, 14 KOs) on September 18 in Germany.

This will be a very interesting fight. It will be a battle of Olympic Gold Medalists. Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko won Olympic Gold in 1996. The Russian Povetkin won Olympic Gold in 2004.

Who will win?

[Steelhammer2011]

Povetkin is a very good fighter. He's highly skilled, has good technique, great workrate, agressive, tough as nails, best combination puncher in the HW division, etc....but styles make fights, and Povetkin's style is tailor made for Wlad. Povetkin still has suspect defense, he's too susceptible to right hands, that's a recipe for disaster against Wlad.

Unlike the defensive survival mode boxers Chambers and Queenpin, Povetkin will actually come to fight and take risks. It will be an entertaining fight while it lasts.

Wlad by brutal KO.

[Jim Jeffries]

Povetkin has decent power and he throws a lot of punches. But he gets hit too much, I think Wlad wears him down over about 8 or 9 rounds and then stops him or his Sasha's corner throws in the towel.

[Spray_resistant]

Povetkin's volume punching style and aggression will having him walking into shots much harder than he probably has ever felt.

Either he will put it all on the line and get ko'd early or he becomes timid and gets stopped late.

either way he is ko #49 for Wlad

[Russian Crushin]

He gets hit a little too much and is just too small to have any affect with Wlad

Good fighter but not on Wlads level

[boxingchef]

Like many have said "tailor made for wlad" Poor footwork and will be standing right in front of wlad. povetkin will have to take chances if he wants to pull off the upset and Wlad knows it and will make him pay during those chances he takes

We will have the perfect training camp and perfect game plan once again... and wlad will win by devastating KO within 9

[RimmyDelicious]

Povetkin has handspeed, offensive skills and he can cut the ring off and close distance. I figure he may make it look good for a little while, however, he doesnt have the power or head movementm which will be his downfall. Wlad KO 6.

Wlad by brutal KO.

I tend to agree with this, but I think if Povetkin can get inside Wlad's chest he could do some damage and take Wlad deeper than we've seen in a while.

That being said, Wlad's toughness is 1000% more than it was after the Brewster fight and he will be able to take Povetkin's best and still k.o him in under 10 rounds.

[MurderDeathKill]

Wlad will KO Povetkin. Povetkin ain't a bad fighter but just don't have the tools to threaten Wlad. I expect it will be another tortuous fight where the guy can't get inside and gets picked apart by Wlad.
