    It's a ppv, the quality will be of an assured quality. Of all the other feeds out of Russia in the last few years of which has actually been poor quality ? I recall none.

    Good points well made. Let's be honest, Wach is a bit of a bum, people seem to rate him a bit on NSB, but for me, he has nothing apart from his size and supposed iron jaw.

    I believe you re his health. Nobody can take that much of a beating without suffering from some long term effects.
    I think Wach is underrated, he's looked slow in his fights but he can punch, he can most certainly take a punch and his skills are not as worse as some people like to make out, their are slower heavyweights out there, Ustinov for example.

    Wach with his combination punching and toe to toe style could potentially stop some of the guys currently ranked within the top ten, if he could land one of his trademark crushing blows. He has enough power to trouble Povetkin, that much is certain.

      Povetkin seems to have a solid chin, but they are Heavyweights. I think Povetkin blows out Wach, I can't believe how much people are underrating his last few wins, but the rest of the card looks really competitive w/ Lebedev/Kayode, Cuenca/Troya and Chakhkiev/Afolabi.

        Catch it when you get home! I'm sure it'll be available everywhere, probably even YouTube.

          If I can still buy it before the main event, I'll do that. But watching a fight live is always better!

                Wach's chin is getting so overrated it's unreal. Just because you survive against Wlad doesn't mean you have an iron chin FFS. Haye and Ibragimov lasted the distance, as did Jennings. Wach was in survival mode most of the fight, and was still nearly taken out in the eighth.

                He's ripe for a Margarito style smashing IMO and I reckon Povetkin is the one to do it. Then hopefully all this overblown chin nonsense can stop.

                Oliver McCall he's not.

                  haye,,,ibragimov and jennings didnt take half the power shots combined that wach took. they all fought cautious defensive fights. wlad is a big puncher and landed everything but the kitchen sink in that 8th round. wach's chin is the size of a volkswagon and I dont think its overrated at all

                    I've heard people say Wach has one of the best chins ever, so yes, it's overrated.
