He was dominating the fight and got caught by a lucky punch

[Shadoww702]

Povetkin was trying to land the punch and kept on getting hit by that short left hook which caused the knockdowns. The first time Whyte didn't throw that left hook he got caught.

That punch was far from lucky.

Bingo!!! Winner winner ckn dinner

Yeah it blindsided him big time.

yup! I had a terrible day yesterday picking winners but thats boxing and I had a great time....Still not used to no crowd yet but much better than what Soccer was doing. That was creepy seeing lil boxes of fans reactions come up in the background.

I took Whyte to win by UD

I took Alvarez to tko Smith in the 7th. He actually rocked him lol that round but then continued taking a beating.

How come nobody said this about Wilder vs Ortiz 1 & 2? It seems like everyone decided to discredit Ortiz when he got knocked out in a fight that he was dominating but Whyte is supposed to get credit for suffering the same fate?

You boxing fans never keep the same energy

Whyte wasn't dominating the way Ortiz was, to argue otherwise is to show you don't understand what you're watching.

He had a great 4th round with two knockdowns but Povetkin was fine and it was a calculated combination.

Ortiz was thoroughly out boxing Wilder and got caught clean. It happens, in both cases. Nothing should be taken away from Wilder, it was a good win. Nothing should be taken from Povetkin either, it also was a good win.

Two things are for sure about this fight:

- Povetkin set Whyte up for that uppercut
- Povetkin losing those rounds and getting knocked down was not part of the set up

Bottom line is, both guys boxed incredibly well - but one of them ended the fight, and that goes in the books.

You summed it up perfectly there.

I can only speak for myself and I not think the KO punch of Whyte was lucky at all. An old KO artist saw an opening and took it with a well timed and placed punch. Likewise KO artist Wilder saw his opening and took it with a perfectly timed and placed punch on both of his KO wins over Ortiz. No luck involved on any of these three KOs in my opinion.
