    It's not far fetched that Price will land something big on Povetkin in the first round or 2 but if it doesn't put him away then Price will take a beating for a few rounds then gas out! I hope i'm wrong and Price springs the upset but i just cannot see it
    You think Povetkin beating Price would be the biggest upset of all time? Seriously??

      BIG surprise but since the fight is between nobodies, does it matter?

        Be a nice story at least. Gentle giant who has had been unmercifully KO'd 4 times now comes good against a cheat.

        It'd probably earn Price a few quid down the line.

          Povetkin is half the fighter he was when on meldonium.
          I'm half tempted to put money on him in hope of the hail Mary shot

            Exactly what I'm thinking and there was a hell of a lot more going on than meldonium.

              No my friend, the opposite way around, if Price somehow manages to pull it out the bag against Povetkin, then that, in my eyes, would be up there with the biggest shocks of all time!

                Yeah I agree, the win itself gets Price back in the frame and probably a final big payday before he goes away.

                But I mean, if a tree falls in the forest and there's no one to hear ...

                  hahaha that's what I meant to say. Just misplaced the names

                  But still a surprise to me, so many big upsets come to mind. While Price beating Povetkin would be a huge KO, theres still to many factors like Povetkin's age which wouldn't put it on the same level as a Douglas/Tyson or a Spinks/Ali

                    I hope that is literally the case when he enters the ring.

                    If Dave has to enter the ring in front of 80,000 he might gas during the ring walk

                      I wouldnt even be surprised considering povetkin’s current state.
                      This fight isnt a mismatch
