    How does Dillian Whyte beat Povetkin in the rematch

    And don't say he can't because Povetkin is 40 and half shot so Whyte definatley has at least some chance.

    Does he try to keep it long and potshot with the jab or bullrush Povetkin and make it a messy, ugly, dirty affair?

    I think he needs to do one of the above because he can't stand at mid range and let Povetkin set up his crisp power shots.

    Cruises to a "unanimous" points decision.

      Probably just good use of the jab and the odd power shot for a decision.

      Going to war with povetkin is asking for trouble

        he did it just perfect before Povektin landed a huge shot. If they go distance, Whyte wins. Just use jab more.

          Dillian Shyte cant avoid getting hurt, its going to happen again. Obviously Dillian will be training diligently to improve his weakness against uppers, so I think Alexander will try to go overhand this time.

          The odds will be interesting, as OP mentioned age is a factor, and we dont know how the Corona-virus affected grandad.

            Whyte is so weak that got almost KOd by Wach not so long ago. Even 45-y.o. Povetkin will KO him again.

              He needs to avoid getting knocked out

                It'd be an easy win if he could just avoid getting caught flush on the chin. Easier said than done but head movements and feints can help with that and set up his own shots.

                  I was backing Povetkin in the first fight but I saw enough from whyte before the knockdown to believe he will turn it around this time. The extra time before the fight will favour whyte given his recovery from the knockdown and younger age in my opinion.

                  Looking forward to it though , a great match up

                    Whyte will be a big favourite. He'll be fully expected to win to most people.

                    Except for a bunch of people on NSB. Who will predict he'll lose and then give him no credit if he wins.
