Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Povetkin Targeted For Sept. 7 or Sept. 14

I wouldn't count on that. I am sure that wlad will not KO him within 3 rounds, but I can see a KO between round 8 and 12. I think Wlad will fight like he always does - cautiously, but still looking for a KO.

not at all. I'm more than sure it will go full 12 rounds. Sasha won't go in war with Wlad, and Wlad won't do 1999 style against Povetkin. a fight that most people will get disapointed at

you did see the huck fight, didn't you? povetkin isn't all that tough - I think wlad will go for the KO, particularly since the fight will be in moscow (i.e., he cannot rely 100% on the judges).

Povetkin is a quality fighter and very experienced by now. The toughest fight for Wlad for many years.

Totally different type of fighter. Not Povetkin's best night, but styles make fights. Maybe he wasn't prepared for that type of fight. Maybe it was an off night. Maybe he fought down to his opponent.

I wouldn't read too much into that fight. I'd read into it somewhat, but it isn't any sort of last word on Povetkin.
