13 Days Until Klitschko-Povetkin

[NEETzsche]

i used to like povetkin once, but his dilly-dallying put me right off him. hoping wlad gives us another highlight reel knock out.

Wlad knows he can't let this go to the scorecards. The Russians are out to rob him.

[The Big Dunn]

I honestly didn't even realize the fight was so close. The last time I was looking forward to a HWT title fight was Haye v wlad and that completely ******.

SHame that in 2 weeks the HWT champion is fighting and there has been little to no publicity.

[Regeza]

Long time coming. Finally. I wonder if Povetkin will go into survival mode, or go balls out?

[BattlingNelson]

Wlad knows he can't let this go to the scorecards. The Russians are out to rob him.

Yep. Wlad will go for the KO. You just know that when some promotor is willing to pay 3 times of what is needed to win the pursebid, and in the proces making this the largest purse since Wynn lost a fortune on Holyfield-Douglas, that chances of corruption is high.

If Wlad pushed it, he could get rid of Povetkin in one round.

I pretty much doubt it. Sasha is a very good fighter. He knows how to dodge an excellent jab.

It will be a competitive fight. Wouldn't be surprised if Povetkin takes early rounds.

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.

Povetkin said that his who.e preparation will be based on how to go under Wlad's jab. I wonder if he can do it. But I definitely agree that this might beba hard challenge for Wlad.

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

If Wlad pushed it, he could get rid of Povetkin in one round.

How come a journalist can write so much crap in only one sentence?

[crold1]

Luis Pabon as ref made this suck a little. Why that guy? Uugh.

[Bigg Rigg]

Can't say the same. Don't really care much for this fight.
