As I recall, his retina was damaged after the Liakovich fight, so I'm sure getting battered by Wlad and then again by Helenius didn't help any.
supposedly Mike Tyson said his punching power came from a lot of heavy bag work. I'd say work on getting your legs stronger, that's where your...
Just had my first fight last Thurs. I looked ok, but I didn't throw hardly any punches, just so nerve racking and that nervousness made me tense...

I don't really blame Povetkin for not taking the fight with Wlad, he isn't ready. He should, however, be fighting much better competition than he...
He may be ripped, but his muscles aren't disproportionally large and his weight has hovered around 240 for most of his career, so I doubt he's on...
