    Fight was won by Russians Promoter. They pick the drug testing. If Klitsckos wanted there testing they should have won the bid. Looks like a duck from me.

    I don't blame him, his samples would probably get tampered with.

    It's a pointless fight anyway, Povetkin is shot to ****.

    He had his chance five years ago and ran for the hills.

    Beonte is the biggest *** in boxing right now.. No one turns down 17million unless you have something to hide or your manager is scared of russia's anti gay groups..

    i wouldn't trust the Russians to do anything with the fight after that Lebedev fight.
     
  5. if he pulls out he has to be stripped.

    They want not at all corrupt Russian drug testing.
     
  8. It's one of the only relevant fights at heavyweight,I actually rate povetkin and think he could give him a decent fight although obviously is the outsider
    If after povetkin not wanting it for a long time this causes further postponement,it will likely never happen

    And that is a damn shame as anyone who claims to be 'champion' of the world after the klitschkos are gone have shallow claims if they didn't fight them first

    Nah, he will be stripped if he pulls out, simple. Povetkin's mandatory for the belt, fight or vacate

    Guys, Wladimir might be hiding more than just a glass.
