    Rooting for a repeat, which would bring some degree of justice to this bogus rematch clause.

    I picked Povetkin the first time to win with the overhand right counter...I am sticking for my vision for this fight. This time he does it with the overhand right.

    Although it was a great shot that KO'd him I still think Whyte has a suspect chin and I believe if he can't get Povetkin out of there he is at some point going to get tagged cleanly again by Povetkin as he is still a highly skilled operator at age 40

    Whyte will get KO'ed again. That K.O. will haunt him.

    People make out like Povetkin was hard done by but he got a world title eliminator and 3.5 million bottom line for signing a rematch clause for a fight he'll earn more money for and has a 50/50 chance of winning again.

    All with no crowds. Povetkin got a lottery win.

    I would back Whyte by a UD in the rematch.

    I think Whyte is more cautious and tries to take it into the later rounds to get the KO. But realises that Povetkin's stamina is actually still good in the later rounds, as we saw against Hunter. Against Hunter he kicked on and won a fair number of the rounds from 7 onwards.

    Regardless of how this fight goes a second time. Whyte gets the UD, matchroom style.

    Never been a massive Whyte fan and last few years looks like he's lost a bit of engine. But will learn from that mistake MK2 will be tougher for provetkin. But let's face it Whyte is going to be lucky if he gets a shot at the title now

    What I don't agree with is 3 UK judges bullsh*t. I will be p*ssed off if Povetkin loses to a shitty decision.

    I'd say it should always be 1 home judge, 1 away judge and 1 neutral. But what would be better, in reality, is 3 neutral. No UK or Russian.

    Yeah should either be fully neutral or have 1 UK, 1 Russian and 1 neutral to make it fair.

    Not sure if it was 3 UK just cause of lockdown or not, aint checked any other fights judges tbh but generally they at least have one non-Brit.
