    His weight will be nothing more than a moral victory for rock, he's not winning this fight no matter ehat he weighs. Rooting for him though.

    Feel a bit sorry for Rahman, when you see him mumbling like a 50 year old man in the interview. Sad to see an ex-champ like that. Wish him the best and hope he sparks fat Povetkin.

    forget the fact he hasnt beaten a ranked guy since 2005...yes 2005. but i guess because he knows how to lose weight and isnt fat then that must be a good reason to bet that he can also win the fight....

    Looks like he might be wearing some sort of girdle in that picture so I'm not sure he's really gotten in shape.

    Even an in shape Rahman should get blown away by Povetkin. Rahman hasn't won a significant fight in years and hasn't looked good in a long time. He's a shot fighter at this point.

    Rahman does have huge power so I guess there's a chance there but anything less than a route by Povetkin won't look good for AP. Povetkin by ko.

    He's still going to lose and Povetkin isn't even that good

    Rahmans always been a home run hitter. He either fans or knocks it outa the park. Nothing new here.
    He'll either get sparked or capture lightning in a bottle and catch Potvetkin slipping.
    One thing he does 100% of the time though is go for it. He's gonna throw those OH Rs and he's gonna fire them winging L hooks.
    If Potvetkin has done his homework he'll keep the fight inside and wear Rock down and defend at range using his jab.
    If he slips up and gets into a slugfest, he might pay for it.

    I'm gonna say Potvetkin TKO8-10. Safe enough bet.:think

    Hopefully Rahman Ko's Povetkin. Then he can retire as a "world champ."
