    :nod Been wanting that for years.

    It doesn't matter how many losses they're both coming off, it doesn't excite me because it produces a relevant top contender, it would be purely short-term gratification because of what a great scrap it would be. :good

    If and when it ever does happen, guaranteed HW FOTY.

    That double left hook/right cross combo was sweet. I dare say Ezzard Charleseque.

    I guess he's finally worked the Atlas programming out of his system.

    Could see him watching and screaming "NO NO DOUBLE THE JAB! MOVE YOUR HEAD! RESET!"

    :-(

    Worst ruination of a fighter by a coach since McGirt-Malignaggi? :think

    :deal

    They're both made for each other... For those that enjoy pre-fight antics this will have that, and in the ring we're going to see two stylistic clones who like to throw down... No way this wouldn't be HW FOTY, I'd throw money down on that being the case.

    Man, Povetkin looked like an animal today! As soon as I saw him looking shredded for once at the weigh ins, I knew it would be a rough night for Charr.... For a long time Povetkin was riding on natural ability, that's not say he didn't give a f*ck but I don't think he was giving it his all... Wlad awakened a sleeping giant, this Povetkin could very well be the best we've ever seen.

    Good catch:good. I am a guitar player and the legend that is Stevie must have led to that mistake.

    he didn't do anything different though. Povetkin has always looked that stunning when he was allowed to get off with his combinations.
    the only surprising thing was that he could generate that much impact on Charr from the start

    I can't think of any HW's today that can pull off a double left hook right hook combo like that. That's some 1986 mike tyson type hand speed

    Dominant fight with no excellent stand out moments until the spectacular finish

    At least catch the final round if you can.
