seems to have put that weight he allegedly lost quickly.
Povetkin should win again. Povetkin is schooled & skilled. Whyte is a notch below.
And enhanced. He’s been popped a few times.
Povetkin has been popped a few times for PED. Whyte should fight fire with fire just in case.
Whyte was in control of the first fight and Povetkin, to his credit, found a miracle punch. The fight showed me that Povetkin is vulnerable but still dangerous. My thinking is that this cannot happen twice. I favour Whyte.
Yes, anything is possible in this scenario. I feel Povetkin knows what he needs to do this time as well due to the experience from the last fight. Should be a decent matchup.
I was watching Povetkin fights from the past on youtube. The man was a massive dangerous knockout artist and he still carries his punch. I can’t see Povetkin lose this fight so I’m gonna say Povetkin by knockout or stoppage before the 7th round.
Arturo: Povetkin was something for sure. He just seems of late to get wobbled too often unfortunately and gets tired earlier in fights now like against Hunter. Aside from that he is still of the most skilled heavyweights out there and then he still has that timing and punch. Interesting fight.
Povetkin in his prime was a solid boxer with concrete skills. Povetkin’s style was like a workhorse running like a few gears faster than most. Povetkin always struggled against larger fighters like Klitschko since his style involved coming straight in with a limited reach. However, in the here and now, Povetkin will try and repeat history by taking out Whyte again.
I hope to see a good scrap though. Prime for prime Whyte would not have.been a match for the Povetkin in the Wlad era. The fact that Povetkin is still a top 5 contender makes me ponder if the current heavyweight contenders are low quality or that he possibly is back on something to prolong his career. Both guys have been suspended so I guess it evens out?
i’m going with povetkin winning the fight again.
would be just fine if Povetkin wins again
in this UN-necessary rematch
Whyte will continue where he left off, dominate, stun and finally KO Povetkin. Povetkin will not land the KO punch.
