Isn't it a little early to start using Tyson and Holyfields name to get publicity?

Why would the Russians want to make such a big deal about an event where the Russian fighter is going to get KTFO? BTW, I know Wlads father is Russian.

Because this is a huge fight and the biggest HW fight in years? This is pretty much Mayweather-PAC of the HW division. Just goes to show that Povetkin is not coming simply for a paycheck, he's coming to win and I expect him to be in the best shape of his life.

I can just imagine what the haters are going to say IF Wlad dominates Povetkin and puts on a clinic (if)

That's what it is. I just do see it like they do. I see it as a sheep being thrown into the lion's den.

I'd be shocked if Wlad doesn't stop Povetkin.
