    And it's pretty sad as he was already KO'd 4 times while never facing real punchers. He was also KO'd cold twice by one shot (both times in 2 rounds - vs 40+ Tony Thompson and average Erkan Teper).

    Povetkin ot the other hand KO'd Carlos Takam cold, and Takam is the guy who can take punch.

    I can't imagine it lasts more than 2 rounds.

    Michael Buffer should announce this fight on March 31: 'The fighters are ready, the doctors are ready!'

    :nonono No, a juiced up Poveldoniumkin KO'd Takam cold. Without his dose of Wild Bull, he can't even KO'd the pithy chinned Hammer, who granted... did KO Price as well.:lol: But.... Price unlike Povetkin, dropped Hammer, who knows.. lucky punches do exist.:deal:

    Who knows...Maybe Price KO's Sasha and then AJ, and then beats Tyson Fury and retires with all those belts :thumbsup: All he needs is lucky punch, cause he doesn't possess the chin, stamina or confidence or jab or anything else

    Price's best win to date is probably current Bri'ish beltholder Sexton. But he has very little power.

    Even current on the slide Povetkin is by far Price's best opponent, and the hardest hitter.

    The juiced up teper hit pretty hard. So I don't know about power but Povetkin is the best fighter Price has fought. Price will need to get lucky and land his big Sunday punch. He has it, just don't know if he can land it in time, before both his confidence and stamina wilt in the ring.

    Price has never been an underdog and he usually surprises everyone.

    Price by KO1.

    On the contrary, Povetkin's never fought an opponent who can bend metal pipes with his bare hands. Putting some serious money on Price this time.

    It's funny people here reckon meldonium or any other anabolic steroid makes someone punch harder. But back when I made a thread about how weightlifting can help people punch harder, a lot of people attacked me saying there was no correlation.

    Not aimed at you here, just a general observation that people here pick and choose on this subject when it is crystal clear to me that increased strength = Increased power.

    I don't, I think it gave him better stamina late, therefore making him more of a danger to his gassed opponent.

    Fair enough. But others here do make that claim.

    Anyway Povetkin needs no stamina really to beat empty gas tank Pricey. Povetkin could run a marathon immediately before the fight and still walk in to the ring with a better gas tank.

    I'm still not convinced Price's chin is any worse than the other heavyweights in the division.

    It's just his non-existent defence and engine that get him KO'd time and time again.

    Watch the Teper fight.

    He was caught with a grazing shot to the side of the head and went down like he was shot.

    He has a very poor chin, combined with poor defence, no inside fighting ability and poor stamina.
