Sykes has the look of a person who should have more ability than he does. Povetkin looks flabby. Oh well 9/10 heavies these days look flabby.
Povetkin always has a shiner. And if he doesn't get in shape for Wlad, he will ****ing get owned. Brutally.
I agree with you but you gotta believe me when I say that Povetkin WILL be in shape for Wlad. He took a small one-month break after the Chambers fight then went into training and said that he was staying in training until the Wlad fight. He is in phenominal shape right now, but the guy just always has a little pudge on him.
Povetkin looked the same against Chambers....he threw over 1,000 punches despite having a touch of flu. Some people just have more fat, and some have less. How many times do we have to see a fighter (Miranda) judged on how ripped he is, get trampled in the ring. Povetkin has proven stamina. END OF STORY.
I'm picking sykes to win this fight and then defeat wlad in november for the title. Sykes is going to cut Povetkin's paper skin to hell and back.
This is not an eliminator, imbecile. Even if Sykes wins, which is highly unlikely, he will not be fighting Klitschko anytime soon.
Povetkin is the IBF #1 contender.... This year hasnt been too good for highly ranked IBF fighters..... Roman Karmazin was knocked out earlier this year.... Sechew Powell ranked #1 in the IBF, he was knocked out.... Zahir Raheem, who was the favorite to win.. knocked out... Cory Spinks, loses his IBF Title... Mike Mike Oliver... won the IBF Eliminator last year... was #1 there until he was knocked out this year... Taurus Sykes isnt a monster puncher, but Povetkin is at risk..... small risk.... but a risk non the less....
I think Sykes compared Peter to Akinwande and other Nigerian fighters... I cant remember but it almost made me believe that Sykes was gonna bring it that night... but it didnt happen....
