Terrible style matchup for Price imo. Price's jab is not effective enough to keep the shorter man at bay. Povetkin has a good workrate whereas Price's stamina is atrocious. Povetkin has a solid chin, so it neutralises Price's chance to score an unlikely KO. Povetkin's relative lack of a KO punch at the elite level won't matter as Price usually gases so badly he'll just wear him down to a TKO if the KO doesn't come.
Credit to Price's bravery & attitude, but I can't help thinking that he could have been matched better after his frailties became clear. This being another, and probably the last example of that.Comment

Povetkin should obviously win comfortably BUT when you can punch like Price you always have a shot.Comment
