    Povetkin didn't look good in there tonight, maybe covid was to blame but then again he has been getting hurt regularly in recent fights, have to give credit to Whyte he was clinical.

    Yeah, very little muscle definition in the arms. But his legs seemed to be the real concern.

    I rate it as the best of his career, without question.

    I thought Povetkin would knock him out.

    Wilder would do him two rounds tops

    Wouldn't have minded seen Povetkin have one more opportunity to fight on. Whyte looks a lot faster when he's lighter. He's got a good jab when he's bothered to use it.

    Also referee should have started a count when Povetkin went on the ropes.

    I know they did. Which is why I said they robbed him. He's a warrior give the man the opportunity to go out on his own terms. It was too early first knockdown.

    If eddie conned them into paying, he'll con them into believing it was value for money

    Pov looked wobbly and half asleep just walking into the ring , he was in no condition to fight. Whyte did what he had to do tho.

    Get Whyte a proper fight now, a real one.

    Not Chisora, pointless.

    Wilder, Ruiz Jr, something like that, even an Usyk.

    Whyte looks terrible and off balance here... In previous fights he looks to have improved, with his new trainers he seems to have regressed

    Povetkin rated number 4 Heavyweight before that fight....Shows the quality of heavyweights around at the moment apart from Fury when an ageing 41 Year old can be ranked number 4....
