The Povetkin vs Whyte 2 prediction thread....

Whyte touches him first again and Povetkin stays touched after Whyte jumps on him.

Whyte wins 8 times out of 10

If Povetkin was 37 or younger he'd win 8 times out of 10

Unknowns that make it a great fight:

Povetkin is the smarter/ more skilled fighter, should have leant from the first fight
Whyte's AND Povetkins first rematch, how will they handle it? Will it be rinse and repeat? Will there be any gameplan changes?

I'm fairly confident that Whyte gets the job done this time but it's definitely not a done deal (like Fury smashing AJ)

 

Povetkin by KO R3.

 

I have Whyte by late stoppage I think he'll play it like he did the second Chisora fight and box a lot smarter but this is almost as 50/50 as fights get.

 

Going for Povetkin by late stoppage. It's good that Whyte's trimmed down, by I'm not sure 5 pounds is enough for somebody with the Russian's hand speed. He's not Joshua's height, so he will find it harder to jab from range, which is the only way he will be able to win this fight in my opinion.

 

Wow, SKY Bet offering 33 to 1 on a Sasha 4th round KO

Same on the 5th

 

Povetkin round 7 uppercut!

 

If Povetkin is hampered by corona, I think Whyte wins this one anywhere from round 3-6.

If not, Povetkin has a good chance to win again.

 

I'm backing Povetkin, sure he's past his best but I think his boxing IQ and superior chin will see him through to victory. The only advantage I give whyte is youth and possibly health due to Povetkins recent illness. But I think Povetkin will find an opening

 

Povetkin with the overhand right.

There is every chance that the winner will be Norton-walked into a title. The WBO, for example, has said that they will suspend the mandatory for one Fury-Joshua fight, but not two. Possibly, when fury-Joshua II is signed, the WBC and WBO interims will be upgraded to full champs.

I am not accusing, but he looks to me to be off the PEDs.
