Any guesses as to what's going on? Atlas overteaching, taking away Povetkin's aggression a bit? He's much better with a swarming style.
Wow, this weekend should have completely demoralized anyone with a shred of optimism left regarding the heavyweight division. Barring those two former cruiserweight champs making waves, Solis and Povetkin have long been considered the "best challenges out there" for the Klitschkos. Based on how they've looked in the last 24 hours...they'd be about as challenging for either Klitschko as a 2nd-grade level crossword (and they're doctors!!)
Seriously? He was much better when he used to throw punches in bunches and always in his opponents face. Atlas has ruined him :fire
Sure looks that way. His first ten fights gave us hope. Same thing happened with Ibragimov, stopped being aggressive and lost any hope of beating Wlad.
He is making small money and Unlike Valuev, Tszyu nobody in Russia, Germany even knows him. Guy just hates to box.
The thing is, Atlas sought him out specifically because he had big dreams for him based on what he saw in him.
He stands no chance of beating Wald not even close. Our only hope of anyone beating The Klit brothers is HAYES.
