Povetkin-Chagaev August 27th for the WBA strap

[Spit Venom]

I'll be rooting for Chagaev.

But Ruslan didn't look good in his last fight so I think Povetkin will win a decision.

Chaggy hasnt looked good in his last 4+ fights.

Im also rooting for him, he at least deserves this shot.

I want Ruslan to win so I can see Teddy's face. This guy is a coward, he wont even be in his corner cuz he will be at some Indian reservation doing FNF.

Povetkin is a moron for hiring this guy, he is ruining his career.

I agree. Povetkin is very naive.

Teddy used to train a Russian cruiserweight Sergei Kobozev. He compiled a good record, including a win over John Ruiz. He then lost his interim WBC world title shot with Teddy Atlas in his corner. Afterwards Kobozev was shot dead (supposedly by the New York mob).

Teddy is definitely someone to avoid.

He didn't look too bad against Kali Meehan - not great, mind you, but not so bad as he looked against Walker.

true, but "Meh-an" was shot for a long time and came back from a nearly 2 year break/off.

Whatever good sense existed behind the Povetkin-Atlas alliance still evades me.
