The only good thing about Povetkin-Stiverne...

[TheBoxingXpert]

The only good thing about Povetkin-Stiverne... Is that Stiverne will get beat up brutally and we finally will get some room for the more relevant fighters to fight Povetkin. Hopefully no illegal drugs next time. Anyway, Povetkin will KO Stiverne and I hope that everyone in here agree on that.

Stiverne can lay out povetkin too....

didn't wlad drop him with a jab?

Also PEDvetkin couldn't even hurt cruiserweight marco huck.... then magically starts dropping dudes left and right.... oh thats right that PED was "legal" so its ok that he was cheating.

win or lose, wilder is more likely to fight stiverne in a rematch than fight povetkin

Stiverne isn't a no-hoper against Povetkin, we just don't have the slightest idea where his head's at these days. Hopefully he'll know that this is last chance saloon and come in like he did in his first fight with Arreola.

Didn't even know this fight was getting made, which means that AJ v Stiverne is no more. I guess we'll get Price instead, sigh.

Also, great point and it's what I've been saying for ages. Plus his physique has become the best of his career. His shoulders just look huge now.

Yeah I think I agree with you here, I fancy Povetkin to flatten him out.

This is it really. Getting dropped by Rossy and labouring to a close decision doesn't paint the most flattering portrait of his mental state. I'd also argue that he's still relatively untested on the world scene. Aside from his loss to Wilder his only other name opponent is Arreola, who was never that good to begin with. You could also throw in Austin, who was outboxing him for large stretches of their fight before the stoppage. This is a man who got wasted in two by a Wlad who never bothered to let his right hand go the entire fight.

I prefer to go with the more proven commodity in Povetkin given his overall quality and recent run of form.

I think all this talk about Povetkin "flatting out" Stiverne is pure fantasy.

Dude, I just made a thread about Povetkin beating Stiverne. Of course Povetkin is gonna win. It's a tradition on this message board that my predictions always come true.

No version of Stiverne troubles todays Povetkin. Too good..

Good scalp for Sasha.
