No drug testing for Povetkin VS Price

[Johnston]

Povetkin has never faced anybody the size of David Price before. This is his first time.

Lol I know you are trolling but I'll look out for you when povetkin blasts him out in 2 rounds. Size means nothing

[KingHippo]

Not about size.



Have you watched any Price fights?

Granted I think you might be right that he's not been KO'd by someone as short as Povetkin yet...but I'd argue thats only cuz he's not fought anyone as good + as short as Povetkin yet.

Think again. Price was knocked out by Bermane Stiverne. In full headgear nonetheless.

[Chrismart]

All a bit weird. Of all the fighters not to test

[4truth]

Price has been stopped 4 times, at least 2 of those times by guys who were juicing. Maybe this time he decided to level the field himself.

I have! But Povetkin has ALWAYS struggled against taller opponents and has NEVER KO'ed any opponent taller than 6 foot 6 inches. If Povetkin does win, he most likely wins by decision or by referee stoppage after David Price gets tired. I don't see Povetkin cleanly knocking out David Price. Povetkin only ever cleanly KO'ed opponents his own size, or closer to his own size. Not anyone as big as David Price!

The PED issue is a load of nonsense. Povetkin never really took anything significant to magically transform into some beast. And he never really failed any drug tests to begin with in the first place.

His limitations are going to remain against taller opponents the same. Irrespective of him taking some mythical PED that will somehow magically transform him into some mythical character.

When he failed to KO taller opponents like Mariusz Wach, was he somehow not taking PED for that fight only? Even though in the previous fight, he absolutely destroyed Mike Perez in 1 round, who is his own height?

Or is it more of a case of PED don't really make much of a difference in reality?

Nah, I'm being very genuine! The PED issue is a load of nonsense. Povetkin never really took anything significant to magically transform into some beast. And he never really failed any drug tests to begin with.

having stated that, Povetkin struggles against taller opponents and has never KO'ed anybody taller than 6 foot 6 inches. If Povetkin wins, he is mostly likely going to win either by decision, or by referee stoppage after Price gets tired. Povetkin isn't cleanly knocking out David Price. Povetkin only KO'ed opponents his own size or closer to his own size. Not someone as big as Price.

And when Povetkin faces Joshua, I expect Joshua to KO Povetkin inside 3 rounds unconscious. Most probably in the first round and maybe even in the first 30 seconds of the first round.

non-PED tested Povetkin still more explosive and better at landing his shots than hammer, teper and thompson.

Well yea. I'm not arguing that.

I just thought we were gonna see PED tested Povetkin. And with him being clean + older now + the height advantage of Price I thought Price wouldn't look quite as bad maybe. Or at least I thought there was an opening for him to have some moments maybe is a better way to put it cuz by no means was I thinking a upset was likely or Price getting KTFO isn't the most likely outcome here.

I actually believe PED's make lesser advantages than I feel like most think. I think lotsa fans think PED's give you superpowers damn near.

But me I think maybe a PED makes you 2%-8% better maybe or something along those lines. But a 2%-8% increase when you are at the elite level is huge. And when its vs a guy far lesser than you thats a whole other variable too.

That said I guess the main thing is we've seen Povetkin when he's tested & when he's not & the eye test says there is a difference in him which is noticeable despite logically thinking that we shouldn't be seeing such a high difference between the PED'd up guy vs non-PED'd up same guy. But then again I believe with PEDs comes a confidence thing & I think guys who use PEDs are more confident in their chances & guys who've used PEDs & not using them currently are less confident in themselves which might come into play to.

Idk complicated topic cuz so much is unseen with PED usage & unknown still. Not like there has been many studies on PEDs in sports in regards to winning & losing & going on or coming off of PEDs.

[PsychoPat]

Yh, all this PED cycling is going to magically transform Povetkin into a 6 foot 11, 260 pound giant like David Price. Am I correct?

Not a chance of that you ***ing imbecile, but that vaunted one punch power will be there trust me. You dog nonce
