He has looked lethargic and poor in some of these fights too. He still gets caught way too much. I'd slightly favor Povetkin on pts. like Bodhi 8-4 or 7-5ish.

I like the matchup but it's disgracful this is for another WBA paper title and will be billed as such. Even though a Povetkin win creates another legit challenger for Wlad, I am convinced the Sauerland mob will never ever let this fight happen. A mandatory for almost three years and he bottles two fights. If I was K2, I wouldn't even bother either. They did the same thing with Valuev. Shameful. So I'm rooting for Chagaev.

Povetkin wide UD.

Chagaev is washed-up.

Don't forget about Helenius and a newly motivated and very active Chris Arreola. While the winner of this fight will definitely be in a great position, neither will be a clear anything until they've beaten these two guys.

If Chagaev puts up a decent losing effort, i wouldn't mind seeing him face tonights winner, Fury.

Povetkin wins by UD something like 9-3 or 8-4 on rounds. Yes it would be nice to see Chagaev facing Fury if he loses to Povetkin. I think Chagaev would win easily for Fury by wide UD or late stoppage.

could be like that

Good news for Povetkin. If Atlas would predict Chagaev to win, then it would be sure win for Povetkin.

Tough call. We haven't seen much of either fighter lately so it's difficult to guess who will show up in better form.

I agree that this fight will show if chagaev is done

if he is not then he will win

Its a good for boxing if we have Povetkin a winner of this match. The fights with one of Klitschkos will be amazin fight. Only Povetkin will stop Klitschkos for the moment.
