Comments Thread For: Lebedev: Povetkin's Knockout Punch Was Like a Young Mike Tyson

[Citizen Koba]

That fight with Klutchko was an absolute disgrace. The amount of holding and clinching that Klit was continually doing without any penalty was an embarrassment.

Ironically the way Wlad fought that fight was actually a testament to how dangerous Sasha was considered... It was literally a strategy built around using Wlads size and length to smother and neutralise Povetkins lethal mid range and in close finishing and tiring him out by leaning on him at every opportunity. Ugly as sin but undoubtedly effective.

Dont big-up that overrated con-man, Alexander. Mike's uppercut did not keep James Buster Douglas down in the eighth round. If Dillian was not a glass-jaw Brit, he would of won a decision with those two knockdowns.

Alexander Povetkin had to come back from behind on foreign soil and win by KO, coward convicted rapist Mike Tyson never would be able to do this.

I always like seeing foreigners go the the UK or USA and knock out their guys, especially when they are the underdog and nearing 70 years old. UK and USA fighters and their fans really have no idea just how privileged they are compared to foreigners, if it were the other way around they'd be crying about corrupt Russian/Chinese/Cubans etc. Suck it!

This. Wlad did his home work, not his fault the ref didnīt interfere. Also a weird showing of Povīs toughness, the man simply refuses to stay down. Same thing vs AJ. - Fury vs Pov could be fun, a dozen KDs each and both just get up and keep going.

Leading candidate for KO of the year but plenty time for another fight to steal that!

Runner up is the world record 7 second KO of
Seneisa Estrada’s!

Credit to Povetkin for never giving up and coming back from the depths of defeat to grasp victory!

Yes, definitely, and it was disgraceful that he was allowed to jab-and-grab and hold and clinch his way to another win.
Thanks.
