Comments Thread For: Promoter Not Confident Povetkin Will Be Ready By 1/30 Date For Whyte

[Eff Pandas]

Not to mention Povetkin is 41, Prograis is 31.

Yea that too. Good point.

Eddie would throw him in there if he was in a hospital bed. Apples and pears.

[VislorTurlough]

All about a fake interim title that no honest fan recognizes as significant.

Apples and pears.

Stairs?

Think you meant apples and oranges

You're crazy if you don't think Wilder would have moved on rather than fight Fury a third time once the rematch clause had expired, had the fight gone the other way

There's just no hype for it, the majority felt Fury was robbed of a deserved win the first time, he wrecked Wilder the second. The only people that want to see it again is Wilder fans who know there's few realistic places to go other than retirement without a third fight.

On topic - Agree not to rush the rematch, Whyte took a heavy KO the first time and sounds like Pov needs time so once both guys are fit and healthy, then get it on

“There’s no hype for it”(?!?) As Fury would say, have you lost your “marbles.”......Myself and MANY others would love to see the trilogy....I wholeheartedly, along with many others, believe that Fury CHEATED (check out YouTube)!

I’d love to see the most stringent protocols laid out now for BOTH sides to adhere to - possibly LIVE STREAMING the gloves design and makeup, having them (in real time) being put on etc.,. We have the technology for us to “feel” every instance in order to make this the first record breaking heavyweight fight ever(!) - even during this horrid unpredictable pandemic.

Don’t get it twisted, Wilders frenetic excuse making diatribes has no bearing on his courage - he’ll courageously face Fury like he’s NEVER lost a round!!....Wilder shouldn’t “move on,” he should relentlessly STALK Fury like the CHEATER he believes him to be!.....Wilder in good faith made an “agreement” with a down & out bloke, then the ever so unpredictable pandemic hit.

Fury should be more than HAPPY & APPRECIATIVE to facilitate Wilder in any way he can! I’m really surprised he’s not! This agreement should be on the level of “boys hooking this thing up,” not on some “formality” crap!! I got a day off today from work, so you can terrorize me with rebuttals if you’d like..lol..

Im quoting David Hayes impression of him lol..

Regis had a bs opponent too. This is a top ten caliber fight.

And Povetkin got hospitalized. I'm not aware if Regis got hospitalized over it.

Correct, and just because one person recovers quickly, doesn't mean everyone else will. Povetkin must have had some symptoms to be hospitalized. He doesn't need to return until he is fully recovered and feels 100% to train.

[Hayehammer]

thats what i thought.. How can hearn and whyte just follow through with it just like that. Its been known povetkin had problems breathing and the after affects dont just go away.
He will need a little bit more time to fully recover..

[pollywog]

I hope Povetkin shucks and jives Whyte long enough to never have the rematch a and move into the mando spot.

Whyte ain't worthy!

Prograis caught Covid during his last training camp, only 1 month before the fight. He caught it, recovered and was ready to fight, all within 1 month.. but he kept it secret. Hopefully Povetkin will have a similarly speedy turnaround, but I guess different people can have different reactions.

proof????????????????????
