    Good luck with that mate. The value is definitely in picking the rounds.

    I don't blame you, that one is nightmarish to pick a winner in. As far as the rest of the card goes. I'm pretty high on Wardley, so I think he'll blitz Molina's worthless ass rather quickly. I rate Pfeifer about as highly as I rate Marsellos Wilder, so not only would it not shock me to see Webb upset him, I'm expecting it. Kongo hasn't impressed me yet, and I think he's easy to beat, but I think McKinson's lack of power and clearly being the b-side will work against him. But he is tricky enough to give Kongo nightmares. I think Metcalf will keep his winning streak going and blast out Cheeseman who I'm a fan of, and hand him his long overdue first stoppage loss. As far as the main event goes, head says Whyte, heart and logic still says Povetkin. Sure Sasha looks like hell, but he looked like hell before. if Whyte tries to go all out, he can walk into a counter, and if he plays it safe, and boxes off the backfoot, and takes no chances, that plays right into Sasha's hands. So I'm torn, but leaning Povetkin to repeat.

    Whyte manages 4 of the fighters on the card. Be great if a PPV card could not just put the headliners mates on and actually try and give people their money’s worth.

    Whyte should thank his lucky stars he’s somehow a PPV fighter, not demand his fighters fill up the undercard so he can get more £££ through management fees.

    That was my first impression while looking at him in profile, he looks soft.

    From the front, he doesn't look as bad.

    Either: he's ****ed from covid

    Or

    He's come a bit heavier to be better able to take Whytes shots than he was in the first bout

    I'm here

    I think the consensus is Povetkins legs are finished. As such Whyte needs to leg sweep him early then jump on him.

    Solid for a Matchroom card to be honest.

    Even the undercard fights are competitive. Metcalf/Cheeseman is basically a 50/50 fight, Kongo will face a tough guy and should struggle quite a bit and even the two HW fights are fun as long as they'll last.

    This. I’d be extremely surprised if he does it twice after Covid

    I think there's even less chance this time tbh.
    I'd like to see povetkin put one last big shift in but @Twentyman has pointed out in his post above everything that's wrong with povetkin now. I noticed his balance has gone too and that was his best asset imo.
    Whyte will play safe until it gets to a point that povetkin is there for the taking.

    War Povetkin! :ibutt

    I expect the pretty fly Whyte guy to win this time out, but I'm hoping for a repeat of the first.
