WBC, IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beteriev expects his countryman, Alexander Povetkin, to have a tough outing in the upcoming rematch with Dillian Whyte. Last month at Matchroom's Fight Camp in Brentwood, Povetkin pulled off a major upset when knocked Whyte out cold in the fifth round of their heavyweight clash.

Maybe, if it was 60 days, or more later, but its not like Whyte can learn to dance in 28 days. On a financial basis, it will be better for Eddy if he loses. He's not popular and his appeal is like Khans. He draws a crowd to watch him fall.

Humn, not sure if I agree with Artur...

With other boxers... maybe?

Povetkin however is a very strong willed person and is very much disciplined. I believe the first KO victory is going to give him more confidence to stay in the fight and do it again.

The game plan on Whyte is out there and for 4 or 5 fights now... he has been vulnerable to that upper cut. He has not learned it before... and I doubt he will learn it this time.

Just land another uppercut and it's night night.

Whyte is the one who may go into the fight overconfident, having dropped Povetkin twice. Whyte said he was "bossing" Povetkin before the knockout, and may well feel that all he has to do is to be careful and execute the same game plan. I think Povetkin beats him again.

I agree he isn’t likely to fall for that same trap twice but that doesn’t mean he won’t get caught with something else.

Maybe this time Povetkin times that lazy jab which he just missed on last time, more than once.

I agree with Beterbiev.

Whyte will be more hungry and will come with a better strategies to win his titles back as it happened between Lennox Lewis and Hassim Rahman.

The KO of Whyte is nowhere near in comparison to Lewis/Rahman. One was an upset of epic proportions, the other what everyone has been saying for a very long time; Whyte isn’t very good. He’s a fringe contender.

one shot is all it will take for povetkin to end whyte career

I don't think he's talking about how much of favorite Lewis was going in, the fight ended in similar fashion, a one punch KO that Lewis didn't see coming. How is that not similar??
