Comments Thread For: Photos: Povetkin Presser To Discuss Wladimir Klitschko

... You don't know how things go in the "former Soviet Union".
Some Russians paid for the fight. Wlad is Ukrainian. A rematch would be possible.

In Soviet Russia, the home fighter gets robbed!...

Wlad didn't beat anyone senseless of make anyone look like Frankenstein. He fought like a chick trying to keep her pocket book from being stolen. Each time I see a K fan brag about their charge I well up with anger. Giving Wlad props for that **** performance just truly pisses me off.

Steve Smoger would be a great ref for this fight. I love watching fights where he refs and the two fighters clinch; he basically encourages them to fight their way out and doesn't interfere much

One of the most boring fights I've ever watched. Povetkin and his team just want another big payday.

Accidents happen. Povetkin said he lost a fight, but not the war.
You don't know much about the Russians.

AP is honest and honorable, but there is no need for Wlad to rematch him. In any other era Povetkin would be considered a great fighter.

I really like Arthur Mercante, Jr. as well. He gave Yuri Foreman as many chances as possible to carry on fighting Cotto even with the bad leg, and his advice to Judah and Clottey when they suffered the wrath of Miguel LowBlotto's nutshots was classic - "You're a champ, so suck it up!"

A proper no-nonsense type of guy.

Wouldn't mind the rematch at all, but it will almost certainly not happen.
