      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
      Fair enough assessment, and I also hope the right guy wins. Bad decisions are bad for the sport no matter who you're rooting for.

        Wlad went all out trying to destroy Brewster before he caved. Are you suggesting Brewster knew e could sustain the punishment?

          Money coming in for one guy over the other changes the odds. If more money had come in on Wlad than Povetkin would have been a bigger betting underdog.

                  Pretty sad that it has come to this. That we're worried that a dominating UD might not be enough for a victory anymore. I hope there is no drama and if it comes to even a somewhat close fight the judges do the right thing.

                    It seems the Klitlickers have got their excuses already in case their boyfriend gets beat. To liken this situation to the Brewster affair is laughable.

                    If Povetkin can go the distance and somehow make it close on home soil, like in any fight, he can get the decision and there would be nothing wrong with that.

                    Klit needs to go all out for the knockout. Any of that jab jab jab jab grab malarkey in this fight could spell disaster for him and rightly so.

                      no, I meant Wlad was a heavy favorite before Brewster fight, all of a sudden odds dropped against him in the morning before the fight and he lost.
                      It was a big story back in 2004.
