    When AJ was stopped by ruiz he approached the rematch with caution and fought more defensivly


    When Kovalev was knocked out vs Eleider Alvarez he fought the second fight with caution


    Both fighters were KO artists and switched to a more safety firsts defensive on the rematch.


    Will whyte do the same thing ? Or will he will really go for the knockout.

    Just more tarkin by Whyte.

    He'll be way more cautious and jab at distance. He knows he's a shoe in for a UD by Eddie's pals ( sorry meant by the judges).

    He can make all the promises he wants. He has a Glass Jaw and is a very average fighter. Povetkin shatters that pitiful Chin again.

    Why would he not make such a claim, he likely believes he will.

    But that aside he is bigging up the fight, generating interest, which = making more money for self and promotion

    If Povetkin sparks him out cold again I wanna see him stand over Whyte's prone unconscious body and look right down the camera and say ''Birdie num num''

    I am expecting a Whyte KO.

    Are you guys really not expecting that? Povetkin was about to get knocked out when he got the magic hit through just in time. Maybe Whyte will be super cautious and go for the UD, but I don't really see Povetkin surviving twelve rounds.

    It's funny to hate on Eddie and see his plans dashed, but I think the odds have to favor Whyte KO.

    Povetkin of a few years ago >>> Whyte
    Povetkin now < Whyte

    Also, I hate Eddie and AJ, but I haven't really heard much to dislike about Whyte. He's overrated, but he seems like a fairly okay and genuine guy.

    I picked Povetkin the first time, and will pick him again.

    We know three things:

    Povetkin will go down from Whyte's punch.
    Povetkin will get back up.
    Whyte will go down without getting back up.

    Yep I picked Povetkin the first time and will back him a second time. Whyte is shot, his chin has been cracked and I expect to see him take a few losses from here on in if he continues to campaign

    Yep Povetkin caught a hook flush which put both Browne and Chisora into lappy land. Povetkin dropped to his knee and got back up.

    It just shows you how suspectable Whyte is to a uppercut considering he has been napped twice by the same punch..

    I don't wanna be one of those guys, but I do think Whyte beats him in the rematch. Whyte looked like he was in a career best shape before the fifth, and despite the first three being pretty close, Whyte looked excellent in the fourth. Povetkin is 41 years old. He isn't going to get better, whereas Whyte will.

    I think Whyte wins by KO. Although another 'upset' wouldn't surprise me.

    Whyte is 32, he isn't going to improve now.
    This is him.
