    Yeah, the fight itself is probably going to suck as neither of these guys have real crowd pleasing styles...

    Fight will be stopped either on cuts or Povetkin's eyes being too badly swollen to see anymore.

    wlad is a much bigger fighter than povetkin in comparing the 2 to chris byrd...he dwarfed byrd...wheres as povetkin and him were close to the ssame size....
    wlad should have did what he did to the small byrd

    Povetkin can put pressure on wlad, can do it for a while with his great stamina and can break him down later rounds, but he will get hit. Wlad hit very hard, if povetkin can survive like peter did against wlad, he has a chance. However, the most likely result is wlad by KO.

    I see this fight playing out a bit like the Wlad-Ibragimov fight, at least for the first half of the fight. A big difference between Ibragimov and Povetkin is that Povetkin isn't a southpaw, but Wlad will still be overly cautious for the first rds. The first two rounds will be boring feel-out rds. Then Povetkin will get busy and try to swarm Wlad, but he will have to eat some good jabs and be kept on the outside. Povetkin will try to close the distance and work Wlads body, but Wlad will clinch a lot when Povetkin manages to get past the jab. I see Povetkin getting frustrated by the middle rds, when his game-plan won't work out. Unlike Ibragimov, he won't play it safe and try to survive, but I think he will attack more and more recklessy and try to pressure Wlad. Povetkin will be caught by some big right hands then, maybe also a good left hook. Povetkin is very hitable, and seems to have a good chin, but I see him going down for the count between rds 9 and 11.
