Comments Thread For: Kovalev: Klitschko is Not Invincible, I'm Backing Povetkin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top rated Russian light heavyweight contender Sergey Kovalev (21-0-1, 19KOs) is backing his countryman, Alexander Povetkin (26-0, 18KOs), to defeat WBA/IBO/IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (60-3, 51KOs) on October 5th at Olimpiyskiy stadium. Kovalev knows the possibility of Povetkin winning is distant, but the opportunities will be there if Povetkin comes prepared. Klitschko-Povetkin is viewed as the biggest boxing event to ever take place on Russian soil.

Bet he's not putting his money on him though.

This is a very candid opinion. A lot of what he said was true about both fighters.

What a surprise. The Russian backing the Russian over the Ukrainian

I would probably give Kovalev a better chance than Povetkin at beating Wlad.

Kovalev is echoing the thoughts of a lot of posters here: the Klits win mainly because of their size and he doesn't like their style.

It's mostly skill tbh. You can find a lot of guys their size who won't be able to do what the Klitschkos do (Price, Fury and Valuev are good examples). The Klitschkos are phenomenal athletes with great reflexes and ring IQ.

Take it up with Kovalev. This is his opinion and he's entitled to it.

Klitschko's are not unbeatable but Steward worked on his mistakesand he made earlier in his career and has made him unbeatable.I don't believe Povetkin has the tools to dethrone Wladimir and a stoppage in the middle rounds in my book.

This, along with their huge experience of 12 rounders. Combined they have over 300 rounds in title fights and it shows.
