Did Povetkin’s smashing KO make Parker and Joshua a little reluctant to mix it?

    No they’re fighters who will have seen all sorts of stuff in the gym and various fights they’ve seen

    Povetkin deserves a chunk of Femi's cash for that ko. I'd give a bit extra to Price also. One thing I like about UFC is they give the best guy on the card more dough.

    Price has been KO'd, but never as brutally as that... I've never seen a fighter just let his hands down like that, and stand there like "Hey take a free open shot" .... ANybody could have KO'd Price tonight. But Povetkin still has that Killer instinct, he moves much better than he did at 33 years old when he fought Klitschko, Povetkins head movement is better, his lateral movement is better... his ring IQ is much better... he looked impressive tonight.

    No. But as if often the case with Povetkin aside from the Wlad grab fest, he engages in really exciting fights. He should get their Purse.
