Alexander Vladimirovich Povetkin vs. Dillian Whyte II & Ted Cheeseman vs. James Metcalf RBR.

I'm a fan of Kongo and will be happy to see him again, he is a big Welterweight, I think he could be a bit of a handful if he starts fighting regularly, gets the right fights and moved along correctly.

I was hoping he was going to fight Conor Benn a while back but Hearn didn't fancy it.


If Kongo comes through tonight I have a feeling it will be Marku next.

 

Makes me laugh when people bang on about that fight like it was an all time heavyweight classic.

It was 2 European level brawlers with zero skill involved.

WAR POVET-

I MEAN, WAR CHEESEMAN!

 

Domestic level.

 

I know nothing about the fighter but will be cheering him on just for his great name.

 

Even his face is like mature cheddar.

 

Cheeseman vs. Metcalf is a very good fight. It'll depend a lot on Cheesy how this will play out. If Cheesey from the Fitzgerald fight shows up, i think he has a great chance to outbox Metcalf. If the Cheesey from the Eggington, Garcia and Conway fights shows up....he'll probably go down tonight. Metcalf is strong like a bull and punches like a mule. Cheesey better using his jab and lateral movement. If he comes to brawl he'll be in trouble.

 

Cheeseman vs Metcalf could steal the card

 

I think Whyte vs Povetkin is an interesting fight. Povetkin laid Whyte out cold with a fantastic uppercut. Povetkin may not be the force he was, but was still good enough to hang in there and knock his opponent cold. It wasn’t a lucky punch, and Whyte didn’t offer him a free shot. It was as well a timed punch as when Davies iced Santa Cruz. I rate Dillian, he is a proper throwback and I give him full credit for jumping straight back in. But, I don’t see this fight as a foregone conclusion. I think Povetkin is confident he can get to Whyte again, and I wouldn’t bet against it.

 

Povetkin looks in bad shape, I think Whyte knocks him out cold. If Povetkin was in shape he could potentially replicate what he did first fight but he looked like he lost a ton of muscle

 

Big Cheez and Metcalf fighting for no.2 154er in Britain, good on em. Cheers Eddeh!

 

Sad but true.
