Looks like it is going to be Wlad v Povetkin on 12th december. And then it looks as though he will have to defend against Chambers.
I believe Chambers will but a good fight. He is talented without a doubt. Povetkin could also be tricky opponent, if he got a chin to take some of Wlads power shots.
Regarding Povetkin that is what im wondering. With his style he is going to get hit off Wlad, and he has gone off the burn in his last couple of fights but i think or hope its more to do with being unmotivated.
Povetkin will be destroyed. As I been predicting for several weeks now, his weak chin will be finally exposed by Wlad for all to see. He will be just out looking for a big pay day to get his ass kicked, like so many other fighters did before him. Never to comeback or comeback worse than before, fighters like Iggy (Hasn't been in the ring since the fight with Wlad in Feb of 08, Brock (Got his ass handed to him by Chambers). Wlad will have his way with the undersized Povetkin, it will be a replay of the Brewster 2 fight. Povetkin will stand in the pocket and get eating alive by the jab, and eventually the big right hand that's soon to follow. Povetkin's only advantage is workrate, which wont be existent. His biggest wins came against guys similar size to him in Bryd 6'0 and half, Chambers 6'0, and Donald 6'1? Also none of these guys had enough power to have any effect on Povetkin, something Wlad has and then some. This fight wont go past 6 or 7 rounds, and thats just being generous. This could very easily look like the Ray Austin fight, pure domination for Klitschko. I really do hope I'm wrong this time, but Povetkin just don't have what it takes to win.
Agreed Punisher, Wlad's jab is too strong right cross will end matters in about 6 rounds. The likes of Ibragimov, Chagaev, Chambers & Povetkin are too small, they haven't got the movement and size to counter Wlad. Haye may have a chance if he lands early but if he can't its all over in the middle rounds.......
Above all, it seems Povetkins self-confidence has been going down the drain over the last 2 fights. Right after winning the IBF eliminator tourney against Chambers his confidence seemed to have peaked. But the recent "stay busy" wins over Sykes and Estrada were very uninspiring to say the least and in post fight interviews Povetkin sounded very frustrated and almost depressive as he kept repeating how unhappy he is with his performance and how much work he has in front of him before he could challenge Wlad. This guy is the absolute 180 degree anti-thesis to an over-confident trash talker.
Neither Povetkin or Chamber stand a chance, but they earned their turn to get beaten up, so I have no complaints about either of these fights. My only wish is that Wlad just puts them out quick instead of letting them linger around for 8 or 9 rounds. No actually, I forgot about Atlas. I hope Wlad does not finish Povetkin quick. Hearning Atlas yell at Povetkin will be the most entertaining thing about this fight. Lets hope it goes 12.
Povetkin will be destroyed and Wlad is going to be criticised again for overwhelming an overrated fighter like usual. Just admit he's too good in a bad division
I knew Atlas was going to his camp to work with him for a little a bit, but I didn't know he was going to be working the corner for Povetkin. In any event, it wont matter if it's Dundee or Billy Blanks, he's still going to take a big ass kicking at the hands of Wlad.
What happened to the Povetkin tune up? After hearing Atlas say how he knows how to beat Wlad and the fact he has a good fighter to work with I'm curious to see what he can do. Curious is the word, not expecting or hopeful. I mean think of how big this fight could be with alittle more build up. 2 Gold medalists going at it for the hw title(last time this happened was Ali vs. Foreman), one Russian and one Ukrainian. It could be huge it they did it next summer in an outdoor olypic stadium in russia.
Wlad/Chambers will be a good fight. Povetkin will be a target practice for Wlad. He has been making excuses not to fight Wlad for quite a long time now,
Its not True Povetkin can Win This Fight Povetkin is a Warrior in The Ring iam Sure Klitschko would have Many Problems With Povetkin he is not easy to Fight !!!
