    povetkin is the underdog with the bookies...

    however that being said with your analyisis and opinion you could only have wlad as the underdog..

    having give your constant opinion of how wlad cant cope with povetkins abilitys you giving wlad the fav position would be ****ing redundunt

    No. Wlad is favourite to win thus making Povetkin the underdog. Doesn't matter what I make of it. Im going with the underdog-Povetkin , who I predict to make the upset. Get it?

    for me this depends on the ref. If he allows wlad to grab and hug all night - wlad wins

    problem with that is povetkin clinches alot himself once he gets in and lets off his combination he ties up to be reset again by the ref...how can the ref penalise wlad for this if povetkin is the one doing it??

    while povetkin is a very good heavyweight he dosnt seem to have any tools to beat wlad..he also has many weaknesses that wladimir will use against him..p.e.ds is his best bet which he will get away with...

    I've seen the boxer that suffers the foul been penalized many times against home fighters.
    Or even penalized for trying to break free out of a clinch (Ward vs Green is a good example).

    So don't say it doesn't happen. But that said, Pov doesn't have much of a chance here.

    The only thing beating Wlad is father time and I haven't seen anything that makes me think father time is anything more than a prospect yet.

    If Povetkin comes gunning for Wlad like he did to Reberto Cammarelle in the olympic final , Wlad is up **** creek.
    Povetkin is the type of guy who shines on the big occasions.
    If he wants this fight like he wanted the gold medal theres going to be an upset.
    I see something in sasha. A twitch in his eye, a fearless determination, the Will-o-the-wisp.

    You ever met Povetkin before? You know skill on skill , id say Povetkin actually has more tools than Wlad. Alex hasn't met a guy as big or powerful as Wlad.

    :good

    Povetkin was a good amateur boxer but professional boxing is not the same. And as a professional Povetkin never fought a fighter close to Wlads skill level and punching power.
