Comments Thread For: Photos: Klitschko, Povetkin Face To Face at Weigh-In

[ElPerroBigoton]

I don't think fighters at this level go into a fight with fear, but it must be a little intimidating staring at a Klitschko at the weigh in. I've never seen a fighter who had that confident look before a fight like Vitali and Wlad.

Im rooting for Povetkin. Klitschko looks to be focused though. Heres to an upset. Me and Pvetkin have the same body types lol.

Masternak ripped as **** as always. Masternak - Chakhkiev anyone?

Judges wont let Wlad lean on Povetking so if he can get inside on him this will be interesting.

As expected, Povetkin looks to be in the best shape he's been in years. Wlad is just so good its hard to give anyone a chance against him, but the good thing is that Povetkin will be coming to win (as evident by his training camp) not just for a paycheck and that's all you can ask for.


I'm looking forward to watching Masternak. Have never seen him live before but he looks like he's got the goods.

Povetkin looks better than usual. I'm sure he's well prepared. Klitschko almost looks too fine, meaning too shredded and depleted. He was 249 last time out and looked terrific. Don't think it was necessary to pare down so much. This isn't Mr Olympia. That said, I see a gulf in class. Povetkin struggled against a faded Chagaev and Huck had had reeling throughout their fight. Klitschko dismantles Povetkin over time. Perhaps around the 10th round.

This is Povetkin's fight of the life. Moreover, this fight will take place in front of Russian public. So I expect Povetkin to be highly motivated and determined. Well, this means that he will fall sooner

You're reading too deep into it, it just goes to show how seriously he took this opponent. He was 242 for Haye, the last time he had a genuine threat infront of him. He was 249 his last 3 fights because he didn't need to train that hard for them.

the stare down lasted a couple of minutes....I wanna see Povetkin get KTFO in front of *****....I know Wlad is gonna stop that dude but I want it to be brutal...I wanna see Povetkin laid the **** out!!!

Maybe not...This fight has been avoided by Povetkin's camp for a couple years now because they didn't, or he didn't, think he was ready. They never had to make this fight, and the fact that they did, means they believe Alexander can win it. Vlad's chin hasn't been checked in awhile, and if Povetkin can touch him, this one could be very interesting.
