13 Days Until Klitschko-Povetkin

[crold1]

Call me crazy, but I am REALLY looking forward to this fight. Expect Wlad to win but I think this is, style wise, his toughest match in a LONG time. Sasha has underrated hand and foot speed and, unlike most of the Heavies out there, can fight inside and really puts combinations together well. I am wary, given past cancellations etc. of getting too excited; wonder if HE thinks he can win.

If he does, I think this is a fight that could be a real two-man Heavyweight title fight. Been awhile.

I've started to like Wlad more and more since watching the K-bros doc... but the way he hypes his opponents up are hilarious

Hard to imagine a competitive HW title fight anymore, but if anyone is going to give Wlad a fight, it's Sasha. Excited for this fight and especially Cotto-Rodriguez the same night.

Looking forward to Wlad's schoolage of Povetkin. There's some crazy science going down in this fight no doubt about it. Wlad is the pioneer of his crafty technical game, it's so aesthetically pleasing to watch him systematically break down his opponents. I'm still amazed at what he was able to do against Wach who was not only confirmed for using steroids, but also had his gloves loaded.

That says a lot about how much Wach sucks. Great chin, bad fighter.

I'm just happy to be excited about one of the K fights. Been since Klitschko-Adamek and that was more just being happy Tomasz got his shot. Haye-Klit was the last one that looked (operative word) remotely competitive.

I'm looking forward to this one as well. First real challenge Wlad has been able to find since Haye. Sasha is quick but has no pop and is not hard to hit. I dont know if he can get past the jab and I don't think Wlad wants this to go to the cards (have to avoid that shady business) and I think he wants to make a statement. This makes him more exciting but more vulnerable.

The **** are these people talking about? Fat Sasha went life n death with a Cruiserweight Huck for ****s sake. This is gonna be another one sided snoozefest and will Mayweather/Alvarez make look like Gatti/Ward.

[GoldenGloveLove]

Yeah it'll probably be another beat down. But Povetkin's underrated. His power is underrated too. When you've had only 26 fights and you've got guys like Huck, Chambers, Chagaev and Donald you probably get a deceptively low kayo ratio unless you're some sort of Liston type puncher which of course Povetkin isn't but he's got good power and in both hands.

This will be yet another fight that makes me wish the Klitschko brothers came up in a different era to see what the results would be against some better comp. Only thing I really have to go off of is Vitaly/Lewis and if that's any indication at least Vitaly is one of the best of all time.
