Alexander Povetkin vs Dillian Whyte II - Discussion and Predictions?

Povetkin is gunna knock that fraud out again

 

Easy for Whyte

 

Whyte will fight negative behind the jab and take no chances, Joshua-Ruiz II style. Should be able to outlast the old man. If he gets sloppy again he gets levelled.

Ironically I think Whyte might have chosen to not rush his work after what happened to Joshua in the first Ruiz fight. If he’d gone for the kill after the first KD in round 4 he might have put Pov away.

 

50/50 fight, but I think Whyte will leave as winner this time.

Still a very interesting constellation. Everything is on line for Whyte, while Povetkin has nothing to lose really. Yet, Povetkin always comes to win and not just to fight.

I think it will go past round 9 and ultimately someone will get clipped and it's game over.

 

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Povetkin lands another bomb to KO him. Going into a fight getting Knocked out like that does affect the confidence. However, I think Whyte will learn from that defeat, com back stronger and Knock out Povetkin in round 8-10.

 

If Whyte wins, do we get a trilogy?

Just kidding, I know how the world turns. Still disgusted that this is going to happen after Whyte got KO'd in an eliminator.

 

I have little interest in this fight regardless of who the winner is. I picked Povetkin to win the first fight although I expected him to look better than he did before landing that huge uppercut.

Do I think Whyte has the defence to go 12 without getting clipped? No I do not, it's why I would pick against him against anyone operating at world level who can actually punch. I think Parker would dispatch him in a rematch and that Whyte got extremely lucky that his headbutt both concussed Parker and was ruled a legitimate knockdown. When Parker regained his senses he put it on Whyte who was then saved by the bell.

 

Will be ruled a NC
Double TKO as both gas and fall out in the 8th

 

Whyte stoppage.

If Povetkin manages to win again it should be his retirement fight...but he will try to go on and get a few more $1m paydays and lose in the process.

 

Hard one to call but I think Whyte will win by decision. Will defo be a much cagier fight from Whyte and he'll take minimal risks and look to tie up Povetkin a lot more. From Povetkin's point of view he'll be looking to tag Whyte again and hope for an opening but he just isn't the fighter he was five years ago. Will still knock you out cold if you let him of course.

 

just like last time
