Comments Thread For: Photos: Dillian Whyte, Alexander Povetkin - Face To Face

Povetkin by KO early to Mid.

If Whyte comes in in the same shape he did against Wach he is in deep deep trouble.

Another pointless a$$ fight between two washed up drug cheat B/C level bum a$$ heavyweights.

Good job D--kroom

Whyte wins that easily.

Not so sure. Povetkin would be Wilder's best win if he had beaten him. Former WBA champ, fast and heavy hands, skills. Just went and gave a great American prospect a very tough night - this is typical.of Whyte, taking tough fights one after another.

Two heavyweight terrors the big alabama fraud pretender would never dare fight. Whyte by TKO 10 in a war.

Povetkin is good but cursed somehow. He tends to fold when it matters the most so I think Whyte will beat him.

Would never dare to fight? Here’s a fact you might like to know

Wilder signed to fight Povetkin, who failed a drug test and had to pull out.

Fury beat wilder, now suddenly everyone can beat wilder lol

[Monzon99]

Rigged a fake positie test to duck Povetkin. If Wilder was so great he would have taken the $5m. But Haymon couldn't rig Povetkin like he could Ortiz.

I'd like Povetkin to win and face Ruiz next.

Whyte gets hit flush entirely too much.. I got Povetkin by KO.

Come on, there's no way Dillian gets put out. Best clinch in the business.

There is nothing "tough" in this fight.

Povetkin couldn't KO or outbox a 226lb, 6'2", former cruiserweight who is nowhere near Whyte (271lbs, 6'4", 78" reach) that is much more experienced. Even if Whyte turns out around 245-250, he would use his reach to hit, clinch and press Povetkin down with his weight. Those old legs are going to feel the size and weight of Whyte and give up quickly. As for speed, even the most agile (think Haye or RJJ) caught up with age and Sasha is now 40. And he never was as agile as those guys to begin with.

Is "giving a tough time to a prospect" something to be proud of or something to be ashamed of? That prospect does not have a HW win against anyone ranked even top 20. Joshua absolutely hammered Povetkin while he was younger and so will Whyte. And do so quite easily.
