I would like Povetkin to win but i haven't seen enough of both fighters to really make a prediction.

It's going to be an awesome Sauerland card on August 27:
Chagaev-Povetkin
Helenius-Lyakhovich

Chagaev's chances have improved now that Teddy Atlas is going over to work with Povetkin and be in his corner on Aug 27.

Alas Povetkin finally stepped up the competition after 'stepping it down' several years ago. Although I don't agree with some of career moves, but I like Alexander Povetkin and have been following him since he was a touted prospect back in '06. Stylistically, he's a technically solid boxer and is kind of pressure fighter. He packs average power and he's got good endurance.
My prediction is that he grinds out a tough decision win or late stoppage...

He was caught flush many times by Walker, who is a big puncher and the only person to ever knock Chris Arreola down.
