Povetkin is an amazing fighter

[The Gambler1981]

He pressured but it certainly wasn't intelligent, he just rushed in recklessly and smothered his work when he did actually work. That was terrible pressure fighting a lesson of what not to do.

On top of that he wanted to make it a fight then proceeded to let Wlad just manhandle him, he needed to make rough for Wlad which he never did.


And heart implies selling out to win, he did almost none of that sure he took an ass beating though~

Alexander "Russkiy Vityazj" Povetkin didn't show nothing in this fight except for low-dropped head attacks and hanging on Wlad's neck. His only virtue is unhuman stamina. But considering that he was checked on doping by corrupt RUSADA instead of NADA I bet he was on something.

Povetkin reminds me of Ricky Hatton with his grit and determination... he should be given credit for having a ton of heart to survive rd 7.

I'd like to see him in with Chisora next year, that would make for an entertaining fight.

Povetkin vs Chisora would be a massive fight!

[SHO_RULEZ]

I wouldn't mind seeing Povetkin again. He was doing everything he could to force some action, but Wlad clearly wasn't interested in any inside fighting. It was Wlad that ruined the fight with his constant holding.

povetkins average

[Dr.Eisenfaust]

Mark my words : Povetkin will give a lesson to every contender without mentioning Haye and maybe Pulev.

I was really impressed by Povetkin's speed, skills and heart. I am more than sure that he can make some very big fights in the HW division. For instance, I would place Povetkin with David Haye as the 3rd best HW.
I would really love to watch the following fights :

Povetkin vs Haye

Povetkin vs Chisora

Povetkin vs Solis

Povetkin vs Wilder

Povetkin vs Fury

Povetkin vs Jennings

Povetkin vs Helenius

What's your take on it?

the only thing that impressed me with povetkin was his heart. he probably is the 3rd or 4th best heavyweight tho. id slightly favor haye to beat him but he probably beats the rest

[ShamrockXpress]

I've been saying this for a long time, the contenders need to fight each other. Heavyweights now are content to fight gimme fights just to increase their ranking and land a big money title shot. This leaves them with no experience of how to deal with adversity, or adapt. People like Haye, he is a great boxer, but because of his profile here in England, he can fight anyone, knowing people will tune in. He then picks fighters that are made for his style instead of people that might improve him as a fighter. Same goes for povetkin fighting in Russia. He didn't even try and fight a tall fighter with a jab to try and replicate wlad, like dimitrenko or Thompson.

Am i the only one that thought povetkin was a live dog till the 7th when wlad took control..

I think the 2nd rd kd was legit, and the 2nd kd in the 7th was legit, the others were pushes...
I had povetkin winning the 1,3,4,10, 12,,,, Was my scorecard CJ ross type bad,,,, I thought wlad won, but thought it was closer than the general consensus,,,

Am i crazy and have a horrible scorecard,,,,,
I just thought that early, povetkin was pushing the action and landing some nice shots and that made klit angry and hence why the dirty tactics and agression in the 7th to stop povetkin...

[Uncle Rodge]

Excellent footwork, fast feet, nice hooks, intelligent pressure fighter, fast hands and , the most important, a huge heart. I wanna see How Haye would deal with Povetkin. To me, that's an excellent 50-50 fight.

With respect, is English your 1st language?

I'm thinking either the words excellent and intelligent have been lost in translation or you have an extremely poor grasp of their meaning?
