    Aside from Wlad on AJ's resume, who beats him? And I'm far from a Povetkin fanboy.

    I don't wish to hijack this thread at all but for finality, the current Parker and Whyte both beat Pov handily IMO but let's see where the chips fall on fight night and we can pick this up again.

    I couldn't disagree more, maybe you put up polls let's see how this debate shakes out with the rest of the posters.;) But yeah, I agree, I don't want to see this thread descend into that kind of thread quite yeah.:lol:

    Povetkin gets ktfo sooner, rather than later, in this fight.

    Do those actually even register as upsets? the first is a 50/50 fight for me and the 2nd like 45/55.
    Does anybody know the actual odds on these?

    I was hesitant to even add them, and they got the Red Alert for that reason. As far as an upset goes, its not to us, but I'm sure a few people might be shocked to their core by it.

    Not released yet AFAIK but I expect Stevenson & Gvozdyk to be evens, and Jacob a 1/2 or 2/5 favourite. Not many people know Derevyanchenko...

    Having seen the weigh-in today I am downgrading Povetkin from

    to

    .

    He was both light and ill-defined. That's not a great combo...

    I favor Callum Smith to beat Groves next friday. I know this fight is 50/50, but Smith is a slight underdog.

    they gotta sell the fight

    they even tried doing this in 24-7 or all access with floyd despite it being obvious he was about to tool the guy

    if Joshua is the real deal he should dominate

    Yeah I tend to agree; it's a 'sell'.... I just think it's the kind of sell you resort to (ie: he might lose) once you've run out of all other creative ideas. I mean Eddie even tried anti-Russian geopolitics to shift the last few thousand tickets....
