    Yes, agree Rummy. I think Povetkin does the business again.

    He was always in that first fight. Never out of it, despite the kd's.

    Whyte didn’t make any nonsense excuses about costume weight or trainers drugging him so psychologically I’d say he’s fine. Sasha on the other hand is now even older, been through covid which can’t be great at his age as he needs every edge he can get.

    Whyte KO 6.

    Rummy likes Povetkin that means bet the house on Whyte. Lol joking.

    not sure how Alexander will recover from covid. If he is - I think the devastating knockout he scored will carry over and he wins again. But he does look much slower lately even though I had him 7-5 over Hunter.

    Always loved Povetkin, but I think this time he gets stopped in 8

    I agree I think povetkin finishes whyte as a swan song for his good but not quite great career. Too bad really in terms of boxing craft he's as good as the hw division has had this century. Just too small. Iirc he had some PED controversies too which is unfortunate.

    Of course if COVID has depleted him than I can't see him weather whytes power.

    He's a better boxer than everyone in the division except probably Usyk. In terms of craft. Fury is greater but more unorthodox.

    Oh yeah, 1000%! Skills, power, IQ etc waaaaay above Whyte, it's just that his legs are going, punch resistance is declining fight by fight, and Whyte is more than likely going to come into this one motivated and fit enough to move until APs legs can't keep up and then its only a matter of time

    Rooting for AP although I think long term a Whyte victory is better for the division

    And I don't dislike Whyte either, entertaining scrapper who will fight anyone

    Think it was trace amounts for a substance that had only been banned a couple of months before, I believe he got cleared of all wrong doing (don't quote me on that)

    Six months older plus covid since the last fight... He must craft an opening like that again or he will be grinded down by the younger man, I fear.

    Povetkin stops him again, probably in the same round too!
