      Didn’t seem real.

      The fact there was no crowd added to it.

        He was just fine... In the corner you heard him say... "I am fine, I just did not see that shots... going to look for opportunities."

          Never rated Whyte like that, didn’t think a Whyte win was a foregone conclusion like most who overrate/believe the hype. Povetkin has looked shot for a while but I still gave him a chance. Thought Whyte would do it on points but wouldn’t be surprised if Povetkin pulls it off, few years ago I would’ve said Povetkin easy.

          The result didn’t shock me at all. The commentary was bull****, Povetkin edged the 1st and Whyte edged the 2nd but there wasn’t much in it. Whyte seemed to be getting some rhythm in the 3rd but still not much in it even though Povetkin looked slow and his timing was off, it was still close. Listening to the commentary you’d think Whyte was dominating at this point, he wasn’t.

          When the KD’s happened I thought it was the end, another thing to go in recent years was Povetkin’s punch resistance and I didn’t think he’d recover at this stage of his career. When the KO happened I was shocked, thought Pov was done but I’m not shocked at the result. Whyte has never been that great and it’s been a matter of time before he lost, took a shot, former world class fighter to do it. Shows what level Whyte really belongs at.

            Yer i didnt really know what fight the commentators were watching i thought it was a close fight upto the knock downs and even the kds you could tell didnt hurt Pov, Glad he knocked out Whyte.
