Rahman will be stopped. The guy is shot to hell.

Rahman is at his best when he's under 240lb. While he looks to be in much better shape than he did at the initial press conference, I doubt he's under 240lb.

Also, Rahman even at his best is very limited. Good jab and excellent right hand. Even though he has a very good trainer in Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, once you nullify one of Rahman's weapons, you've pretty much shut his curtains.

I still take Povektkin in a stoppage in 7th or 8th.

Is that Ustinov in the FILA polo? If so, ahahahahahahahahaha.

Rahman looks physically in good shape. Hes old but so far he only lost to first class opposition. And he got himself in shape again. Povetkin better avoid Rahmans strong right or he will get KTFO. Rahman has a huge advantage in physical strenght to Povetkin. And Povetkin is easy to hit. I smell the upset of the year.

Rahman hasn't won a meaningful fight in years. He has been done since Oleg Maskaev stopped him. They keep recycling him but this will not be a competitive fight.

[junior gong]

Ustinov is absolute garbage, so slow its unbelievable. He makes Valuev look fast and graceful.

Rahman looks a little thin.
