Wlad will put an absolute clinic on that russian, he's taking this fight even more seriously than usual, which means that Povetkin will remember why peoples told him to avoid Wlad for so many years. Peaked, conditioned and motivated Povetkin or not, Wlad will sistematically, carefully, dismantle him. He's on his record run, and now that these are his last years, he's putting even more attention and dedication in his professionals top training camps. He doesn't want to make other mistakes. Everything will be right, but even half Wlad is enough for win against pretty much everyone. Oh, and i don't know if Wlad cares about the Holomodomor or not, but if he does, Povetkin will be subject to the meaner left hooks from Wlad since years, way more intentionally hurtful than the ones he threw on the giant cheater. If Wlad cares even a little about the Holomodor, Povetkin has even less chances. And Povetkin will be surely knowing that the holomodomor is one of the reasons Wlad is so strong.
Holodomor, spelling* Here's the link for anyone interested in what it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor
Danger, red flag, red flag, red flag, danger. Povetkin's promoter paying 23.3 million dollars so they could have the fight in Moscow. If Wlad gets wobbled expect the ref to jump in instantly. Expect Cj Ross level scorecards if it goes the distance.
He's trying to give Wlad luck or some sort of pathetic **** like that. He's a clown and a Wlad fanboy. Not a boxing fan.
the head that Huck nearly punched off and where he looked like he just ran a 50 mile marathon because he couldnt even stand up after 12 rounds with a cruiserweight? :rofl yeah cool story
I have been waiting for this fight a couple years now... Fully expect Klit to be "vintage" here & show why he is the best HW on the planet. (Not named Vitali)
I respect Povetkin as the top challenger and one of the few top names Wlad hasnt fought yet But to be honest despite his deserving of the shot and his abilities he has shown at times, I just dont see how anyone could expect him to win He does nothing in there that leaps out at me as saying this guy has even a remote chance
Povetkin isn't going to beat Wlad, if there was that chance, Wlad wouldn't be getting in the ring with him. Wlad only made a mistake twice, with journeyman Brewster and that 37 year old retired fat part time golfer guy. Since then hes kept the opponents sub that level.
With Povetkin promoters making this fight, do they get to choose the referee? If they do I can see this being interesting. What will happen is Wlad will take the center of the ring, jab and then hold Povetkin an repeat. If there is a ref that is strict and will warn and deduct points for wlad continuously holding. I can see this being an interesting fight. If the ref is like usual. It will be a boring Wlad win or late tko.
No the promoter doesn't handpick the referee. The WBA along with the local commission will chose the referee along with the judges.
Wlad rematched Brewster and thought all available top contenders and other world Champions. This is not cherry picking. Wlad is a real good Champ. Simply the Best!:hi:
Thats what it says in the rulebook. K2 do not obide by the rules. Nobody does. The ref is put in place by whoever is in power. If Povetkin has a ref thats in his favour , Wlad is done for.
Brewster was banned from boxing when Wlad pulled him out of retirement. Wlad was no match for a healthy Brewster. Brewster is a better fight than Wlad.
Even if wlad is deducted a point every single round the fight will end up a draw as every round will be 9-9. but anyone without any bias or obsessive and worrying klitschko hatred like you and derrick knows that the likelihood is that povetkin gets KO'd anyway.
