    Before anyone says Povetkin is too short, Nistor was 5’10”.

    The difference in athleticism and boxing ability between Povetkin and Joshua is light years in Povetkin’s favour. Joshua is a stiff robotic bodybuilder with little to no head movement. He’s going to be knocked out spectacularly here.

    I can’t see how anyone could possibly back Joshua here, Povetkin is all wrong for Joshua.

    I think he has the exact style to beat Joshua. Those winging shots thrown from low caused him issues in the AM's - as is well documented. I do worry that at 39 and possibly because of the ped stuff that Pov's explosiveness is gone. But I would still say it's a tough outing for AJ.

    Hoping it's in Russia and a roided Pov appears

    I just don't see it.

    Povetkin is 39 now, and the fact is even his prime form is questionable now with failed tests galore.

    The footspeed and stamina simply aren't there anymore.

    Yes he still throws tidy combinations but this goes past 4-5 rounds hes gonna find himself tired, unable to get in range and eating shots from the outside.

    He has a chance early but thats it.

    Hes actually a steriotypical klitschko opponent type these days.

    "I hope he cheats"

    Disgusting.

    Price actually rocked him a bit...Chucky is past his due date. He could get lucky, but I'd say
    it's Joshua 70/30.

    Well, it's possible. But Joshua just needs to play it safe and he will win by decision. Povetkin is quite old already, he's not as fast as he used to be. His stamina should be an issue as well. Maybe AJ will even knock Povetkin out in the second part of the fight.

    Styles makes fights and Povetkin is all wrong.

    Those pointing out his age: Wlad was over 40 and fresh off of throwing single digit right hands over 24 rounds against Fury and Jennings and had Joshua on silly street.

    Joshua getting kod inside four.
