Originally posted by edgarg View PostA "Hail Mary" punch is usually a last desperate wild punch thrown by a fighter under great pressure, without much hope of it landing and not really seeing where it'll land.. Povetkin's left uppercut was very precise, almost casual.He did it very easily, without hurry or pressure, he first drew Whyte's fists back in defence, and whilst they still waving loosely around his head, but wide open, Povetkin shifted slightly left, dipped his shoulder and ..PRESTO..a picture perfect uppercut.
I still think he was in serious trouble, he wasn't on his game plan at all, that uppercut has been his saviour several times and I'm sure he throws it instinctively when the situation calls, but he had lost every round and was being soundly beaten.

So, although he was KD'd and was losing, I can't say that he didn't expect to be losing (minus the KD's which are always a chance) but he was waiting just for that opportunity to throw that single left uppercut-almost out of nowhere. To me-if not to you- it's as plain as daylight on a summer day.
We can amicably agree to differ.
