The three points of disagreement holding up Klitschko-Povetkin

[The Hammer]

There are mainly three points of disagreement holding up Klitschko-Povetkin:

1. Wlad wants the fight to be no later than September 14, not Oct 5, so he can fight a third time this year in December.

2. K-2 wants Povetkin tested by the German agency NADA. They don't mind also having both tested by the Russian agency RUSADA.

3. K-2 wants Vitali to go into Povetkin's dressing room to observe the hand-wrapping and look at the gloves.

I could see why 1 might be a slight problem but not the other 2, Povetkin should agree to those if hes a clean athlete with nothing to hide.

wlad wants, wlad wants, wlad wants.......yeah, sounds about right.

Why doesn't Povetkin agree to all this? He wants the russian agency, why not have both? Will 3 weeks make a difference to Pov? no! And why does fat Pov care who will be in his dressing room observing handwraps? there has to be somewhere from Wlad's team anyway and Vitali has done it for several previous Wlad fights, this is not unusual.

Moral of the story: Pov doesn't want the biggest payday of his life because he is too much of a *****.

Yes, it's clear Povetkin's management do not REALLY want this fight.

The big purse bid was just for public relations to make it look like they want it and to raise Povetkin's profile. Russian boxing fans have been pressuring Povetkin to fight Wladimir.

Povetkin's promoter won the purse bid. Wlad is not in a position to dictate anything in this bout.

Either agree to their terms and FIGHT or drop the belt and return to the tomato can circuit. Since it appears that he doesn't have an interest in fighting top Heavyweights anymore.

Number 2 & 3 shouldn't be a problem. I don't think number 1 should be a reason to prevent a fight from happening.

Three reasonable requests from a very reasonable man.

I love the hate klitschko's get it just shows how desperate people are to knock 2 magnificent specimens vitali and Wladimir are. Klitschko is the mayweather of the division so why does he get everything without ridicule but Wladimir doesn't? Wlad hold all the marbles if the fight doesn't happen it's povetkins loss
