    I honestly can't see how you scored it that way I thought apart from a close first round Whyte was in control.

    Even if Whyte takes the rematch he has a massive chin question mark. It could be a Rahman Lewis type KO albeit.

    One of the reasons I felt even this old way past his best Povetkin could spark him out is because he's not only the best most technical well schooled boxer he's ever fought but he's also the hardest puncher he's faced too.

    Mate this was insane.

    Whyte had won every second of the fight. It looked like Pov was about to quit on his stool and then bam. From nowhere.

    HW boxing is the best.

    Povetkin has always been underrated. I dare say he is on the level of Mike Tyson. Even Mike Tyson couldn't pull of what Povetkin pulled off at age 40. Mike Tyson was getting stopped by far inferior heavyweights like Danny Williams and Kevin McBride. Povetkin has always been on that level. Not necessarily saying he is better but at least on that level.

    It was poetic justice.

    Whyte being an loud-mouthed braggart. His refusal to be a good sport and touch gloves with Povetkin. The robbery of Persoon. The way the announcers were fellating Whyte from the first few seconds while not giving Povetkin any credit, sure he was down twice in the 4th but before that he won at least two rounds.

    Of course there's a rematch clause. More BS to hold up the division. **** that ****. Povetkin earned another big fight. Hearn is a sleezeball.

    I'm sure in many, many, many alternate universes Whyte ends up winning. In this one Pov pulled it out of the bag and one bombed him. Insane.
