Tournament for Wlad's mandatory

Povetkin would get destroyed by Wlad.
He hits hard but is more of an accumulation puncher than a 1 punch knockout artist like Peter, Which with Wlads technical skills, is the only chance to beat him.

He is small and not particularly fast (punching and movement)
He would get picked apart by Wlad from the outside by jabs and rights.
If he had the insane amount of head movement of a prime Tyson then he would have a chance, but he doesn't. So that point is mute.

 

I have to disagree with you about Povetkin not being fast. I think his punching speed is excelent, moreover, he throws combinations rather one punch at a time. His movement has been improving too along with his defense.

 

Povetkin will **** Byrd. As soon as Byrd tries to go on offence he will get hammered. I predict a brutal stoppage in this one. Byrd will retire after this loss.

 

What is the point of entering Byrd into this tournament? In two fights , I dont even think Byrd won a round against Wlad.They could of picked someone else, who at least may have a possible chance.

 

I agree with your reasoning but as you know abc schemes prohibit the use of term "reasoning." THe only thing that may suggest Byrd's participation in this tournament is his high ranking in the ibf top 10.

 

Chambers is a poor version of Chris Byrd. The way I see it, he has no chance in this tournament.

 

I agree, Chambers is like a slower, less slick version of Byrd. Although with more power, but he still doesnt have that much power.

 

I doubt he has more power than Byrd. Their Ko ratio is the same while Chambers has not fought anybody, and Byrd has fought arguably the best opposition among current HW.

 

This is great news - sorting out the condenders to make sure only the deserving ones get to move on.

As far as the favorites go, i think there are two possible tournament winners. It's going to be either Povetkin or Brock. A fight between these two is very promising! I for one am excited about this possible match-up. People are too hard on Brock - he's only lost to Wlad and beaten everyone else he's faced. Besides, he's got a very interesting style of boxing. Did you guys watch the Ibragimov fight? He was practically picking poor ole Timur apart. I see a lot of resemblence between Brock and Ruiz. Say what you want, but Ruiz was a grade A boxer, very smart.

 

Allthis does is give Klit the opportunity to attempt to unify prtions of the heavy title or fight an attractive optional fight.Klit is in cahoots with the IBF to get this organization off his back.
