Who had the better adjustment for the KO, technically? Povetkin or Marquez

Marquez given the level of opposition here let’s get real.

Whyte is a bum, Pacquiao is a legend.

None of you has answered the question which is about "the better TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT for the KO".

The question has nothing to do with who beat a greater fighter... The correct answer is of course "Povetkin".. Marquez took a chancy shot-(in the dark) and never even saw the punch land, as his head was going past Pacquiao's body, and he couldn't see where he was punching.

Povetkin, on he other hand, was very cool-even after the two KDs (where he got up instantly), watched his opponent very carefully, shifted to the centre and delivered the perfect punch, between his opponent's arms, watching it land all the way.

Just my Considered Opinion.

Povetkin`s. Marquez had pure luck.

Povetkin's knockout was a lot more crisp and clean because he set Whyte up for that one and he bit on it.

Marquez's knockout of Pacquiao was mainly due to Pacquiao's carelessness rather than Marquez setting something up. Not only double feinting but jumping in on a guy that is loading up his right hand.

Pacquiao is levels above Whyte but he made a very amateur mistake that led to him getting knocked out. Really embarrassing on his end for a fighter so skilled.

Pac got caught for being overly aggressive. Whyte got caught for being too laidback.

Povetkin was definitely better. He baited whyte into throwing that right cross and countered it beautifully. Marquez threw that same punch in desperation a few times prior to landing it.

Juan trained for that shot, why is it called lucky??

Bingo....!!

Exactly...You described it better than I.

Povetkin DID move first into a portended left hook and changed suddenly to uppercut directly through the middle of the defensive arms, both of which were just slightly apart

[edgarg]

Yes, but only because there were many envious, anti-Pacquiao fans then, who denied his great achievements, which they are now dripping "top 5 in history" plaudits over.

And being"fed up" with a subject doesn't alter it's truthfulness.

The facts were plain to see. Pacquiao had Marquez in a very bad way and was coming in, carelessly I agree, to put him away, left himself open like an amateur, and Marquez threw a "desperation" shot which he didn't even see land, and it could easily have gone anywhere but where it did. He was LUCKY that Pacquiao literally ran in to meet the shot. If he'd been a fraction of a second slower , it would have harmlessly missed his jaw.

Just my Opinion.

The KO shot was more Pacquiao's mistake. The first KD though, although a trademark Marquez setup, was basically the same thing Povetkin did to Whyte. Difference is, Pacquiao takes a better punch.

That said, I'll lean to povetkins punch, he had many less rounds with Whyte, and it was a more complex setup. He calculated Whyte pivoting out behind his left hook and took all that into consideration, wallking him into a beast uppercut.
