    Nor would I. Do you think there will be controversy if Wlad loses a close decision? Ad if so Will Povetkin be given credit? Personally I don't think tat happens, I think Wlad will stop him. But if Sasha actually keeps it close?

      You don't know the whole story, after the fight Russian Mafia whacked all the spectators. No witnesses, no crime.

        Chisora is a moron brought in just to unsettle Wlad. If this did happen it would be just as much fault of the Klit camp because they KNOW Chisora is a moron. Hopefully that doesn't happen. I was vocal about the scene with Haye after the Vits fight and I would be about this too. It takes two to tangle though. Being respectable professionals I'd expect the Klits to know better.

          One is the champion. But I don't buy that. This is about money. If you have more than the other guy you get to call the shots. Doesn't make it right, but there should be no complaining if you get out bid.

              If Povetkin keeps it close he wins, I don't have a doubt in my mind. He would certainly deserve some credit because no one has even kept it close with Wlad in so long, no matter the actual scoring.

              There would be some controversy no doubt though in that situation, that is just how close decisions are, it would be interesting to see how that worked out. I just hope the right guy wins

                  This fight is going to be a one sided beat down. I see a stoppage in the 9th and another TKO victory for a Klitschko. Povetkin is a good fighter but the Klitschkos are great.

                    This is just weird as hell. Someone must have some inside info.
