Povetkin was winning the story of the fight.....

Povetkin is a real warrior. He brought the fight and battled to the best of his abilities.

Both Ortiz and Povetkin are true warriors of the sport, hindered by their limitations in old age, but they both laid it all on the line, hurt their opponents and took their KO losses like warriors. That’s the Warrior’s Code.

When you see this sort of thing in boxing you can’t help but swell with pride for people you’ve never met. I’m in awe of the way both guys performed against Joshua and Wilder.

 

He's 39 not 59 ffs

 

How does it show that age is just a number?

He got knocked out because his feet had slowed down significantly by the 4th round, and it was obvious he wasn't as powerful as his younger days.

This fight highlighted the importance of youth.

 

Credit has to be given to Joshua also for turning the story of the fight around.

In the Andre Ward vs Kovalev rematch, although doing okay in winning the rounds Kovalev was never able to turn around the lead Ward built up in the story of the fight from the early rounds. And he paid the price.

 

39 does not beat 28 unless 39 is an all time great and 28 isn’t very good.

Yet Povetkin in the lead 4-2 with Joshua hurt?

I’ll comment more after see it.

 

Sour grapes

Your boy got straight bodied

He almost fell through the ropes and was crawling on all fours like a bum looking for change in the gutter

GET REKT

 

Mid 30s?

We are talking about a 39 year old man. How many heavyweights in the last 20 years have won belts at that age or older?

 

I picked joshua to win. Povetkin isn’t by boy. But it sounds like a 39 year old exposed yours. Now we know why Joshua picked soft toches early.

At age 35-36 I think we’d see a different result.

 

Foreman klitschko and the other klitschko

 

Early?

He's had 22 fights m8

Did you want him to fight povetkin when he was an 8-0 novice?

 

Um some of those guys never fought at age 39 and others looked bad when they did.
