Comments Thread For: Weights From Moscow: Povetkin 232.4, Perez 240.5

[Jewish-Reptile]

They both look fight ready. Perez is more heavy but he look in good shape.

I think this will be a competitive fight. Perez is a solid fighter. Anyone who thinks he'll just go in there and get walked down is seriously underestimating Mike Perez. And if Povetkin takes him lightly he could find himself laid out on the canvas.

I think Perez needs the KO to win because if its anyway close on points. The corrupt Moscow judges will give it to Povetkin.

That's BS. Name one instance whereby a foreign fighter has been jobbed. If you're referring to Oquendo, that was a different promotion for a start, and if you actually watched the fight, their was no jobbing.

Only other notable fight I remember was the Lebedev fight where he was looking disfigured versus Jones, that may be should have been stopped sooner by the officials, if anyone was to blame for the continuation of that fight though it was Tsyzu, and afterwards he was dispensed from Team Lebedev for not protecting his man from further damage.

Disappointed in both guys, Povetkin is at his best in the low 220 range he is a completely different fighter than when he is well over 230 as for Perez I truly give up on that guy, just another Odlanier Solis.

Both in shape, you've got one hell of a fight may still be but I imagine both will be blowing out of their ass by the fifth.

Perez of late has been exceptionally heavy on his feet, Povetkin has likely factored this and bulked up himself, don't be fooled thinking he has let training standard slip. Sascha's punches will be heavier and carry more damage, this version could very well stop Perez, an extra dimension to his frame will potentially bring him the results he aspires to achieve tomorrow night.

I've hated on Povetkin before for his presentation and stamina, he appears to have these issues in order now. He will not have to go looking for Perez tomorrow night, he does not need to be light on his toes tomorrow.

I'm routing for my fellow Irish man. Mike "The Rebel" Perez.

I wish he had stayed with Robert Garcia in Oxnard, He would have been better prepared but Mike wanted to stay close to family in Ireland. Word is he has been training with Adam Booth and sparing rounds with David Hayes and Hughie Fury

He won the first 5 of the first 6 rounds against Bryant Jennings but then got exhausted and Jennings won the remaining rounds.

I think the same will happen here due to Mike weighing 240lbs. Though Povetkin has weighed in at 232lbs so he is a bit out of shape aswell, so there the possiblity he'll get tired too.

True, probably a lot of guys who would make Wilder look weak too.

Respect to Europeans and Asians for working their way into the boxing game. Competition is a good thing, and there are great athletes around the world.

But let's not get it twisted. When you're talking about the heart of the sports world and the mecca of boxing, that's the United States. We have the most Olympic medals, the most boxing champions of all time, the highest paid athletes of all time, and the largest variety of professional sports in the world.

It's a very small percentage of our athletes in boxing, because very few Americans actually watch it. Our best athletes go where the money is, and that's Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

Mayweather is the highest ever paid athlete in all of the World's sports put together.

The United States has the largest variety of professional sports in the world? What do you base that on? The gallup poll that you listed didn't even contain what might actually be the second (it is not entriely clear what is #2 in the world) most popular sport in the world: Cricket. Every country has a variety of sports that are popular there.

Also boxing is not where the money is in most other places too. In most countries in the world the sport where the money is is in real football.

Wasn't Sergio Martinez an amateur soccer player before starting boxing at 20 years old? And he made it to the p4p top 3... It puts things in perspective.
