Comments Thread For: Povetkin Grabs Gavern To Be a Huck Clone in Sparring

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA "regular" heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (23-0, 16 KOs) has retained the services of Jason Gavern (21-9-4, 10 KOs) as a key sparring partner for the upcoming defense on February 25 against WBO cruiserweight king Marco Huck (34-1, 25 KOs). Povetkin's team believe Gavern can imitate the style of Huck quite well, including some rule-bending tactics inside the ring. The two of them should start sparring very soon in Povetkin's camp in Russia, where Gavern has already arrived.

I wasn't aware that Huck had a style.

Too bad Teddy ain't gonna be there, eh?

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly Teddy did for Povetkin, besides waste a couple years of his prime and cut his punch output by half.

Well, in his last fight against Boswell Povetkin was verry sharp and accurate.
I really liked him in that fight, signs of improvements finally showed up. But now he cant work with Atlas its a shame. It takes time to change a fighter. I wonder who will train Povetkin? Will Atlas at least stand in his corner??
