The only good thing about Povetkin-Stiverne...

[TheBoxingXpert]

Since when did Stiverne become impossible to KO? Rossy dropped him and so did Wilder. Arreola couldn't put a dent in him because Arreola sucks and punches like a pansy. That's no basis for comparison.

Povetkin knocked Takam unconscious and beat the piss out of Perez. He has more than enough to stop Stiverne.

This fight will be a public execution.

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

Good scalp for Sasha.

If no version troubles him shouldn't we relegate this to Ward-Brand status?

Stiverne will be game the first 3 or 4 rounds. After that I expect Povetkin to wear him down and make him quit late. Sasha is better conditioned, more will and the more skilled fighter. Let's not call it a "good scalp" unless we give Stiverne credit as a fighter. If we do that we need to recognize Wilders win over him. For some reason though I think this will be a tough chore for many people on this forum.
