What are the chances Povetkin and Co. weasel their way out of this fight.

Too late, Wlad agreed to WADA, but only if Povetkin pays for it. Since it ain't easy or cheap, Povetkin's team been really quiet about it. Up until now, apparently.

50-50.

I almost expect him to back out.

I love it! The "masterful coach" Teddy Atlas is already lining up some good sparring by the sound of it. He'll have Povetkin as ready as he possibly can although I'm sure he would have wanted to have a few more fights before going after the belt.

Win or lose this will be Wlad's toughest fight in years, count on it.

Persecutor ??? I'd rather say avoider . How long has he been mandatory , three years already ? I'm afraid he'll retire mandatory challenger .

sasha will lose

Teddy Atlas retires from traning again after the Russian gets knocked out in about the 9th or 10th round.

Teddy Atlas will masterfully create some excuses about Povetkin being a heartless Russian who didn't listen to him and slept in silk pajamas after Wlad administers a merciless beating to poor old Sascha.

I don't think so. Povetkin can't get out of the way of that jab. Wlad is going to destroy him.
