    Povetkin was in no condition to fight here but I hope he bows out.

    Pov shouldn't have been in there, clearly not recovered from Covid and combined with his age had no chance.

    Not sure where Whyte goes from here. He's clearly not as Good as Fury or AJ. Stick him in with Wilder?

    Povetkin could not get out of the way and his legs looked tired from the beginning....I would call for a trilogy fight but Povetkin looked shot and Whyte looked good

    Sasha didn’t have the legs to get himself in range. His legs were completely shot last fight, let alone tonight. He was fighting on sheet will,, there was nothing there. Very predictable outcome. Bummer, I love Sasha. I didn’t even want this fight to happen.

    Have a feeling if fury vs AJ happens next they vacate all the belts for the second fight and we finally get Whyte vs Wilder

    Sasha is shot to bits needs to hang them up now but i have a feeling we will get Fabio Wardley and DDD Daniel Dubois vs Sasha yet.
    Please retire before you end up hurt..... His legs were gone before he even got in the ring, Covid has obviously taken everything he had left.

    Pov had no legs. Looked soft. Probably got back in too soon after Covid.

    He looked Iike that in their first fight and came back to knock whyte out. You have to give him a chance he beat the count. They robbed the man as far as I'm concerned.

    When did Povetkin get out of the hospital with COVID? In the fourth he could have been hurt badly.
