Comments Thread For: Trainer: Povetkin Not The Same Fighter Since PED Suspension

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to veteran trainer Fiodor Lapin, Olympic gold medal winner Alexander Povetkin has lost some of his accuracy and punching power and is not in the same physical former that he was - prior to the suspension related to drug test failures. After losing a twelve round decision to Wladimir Klitschko in 2013, Povetkin (33-1, 23 KOs) returned with a fury - by scoring some brutal knockouts in his next five fights.

I wonder why

[Ray*]

Well it’s obvious his ban Meldonium work wonders for his endurance/stamina. Take that away and he isn’t his usual self.

[SUBZER0ED]

Am I reading this right? Are my eyes deceiving me? Povetkin's trainer just came out saying that his fighter is not as dangerous post PED usage!

Roidfree Eurobum.

No wonder PEDvetkin is not the same ever since he stopped juicing.

[Straightener]

Wonder how fury will perform without his "tainted" meat

[Lester Tutor]

Russians banned from the Olympics doe...

Eastern Euro block getting shut down. The remaining stars now had it nice getting to where they are now...

Had Meldonium not been banned, Loma would've fought Rigo below 130...

He used to get in earlier [with big punches], and*his opponents went down, but now they do not go down, so now he is not in the form that was before the suspension.

Povetkin needs to get a hold of his team. Mr. Konov needs his walking papers.

Any fighter facing an Eastern Euro opponent would be smart to demand VADA testing.

Just to make sure there's a level playing field.
