Alexander Povetkin is next.

I didnt give my man Povetkin much of a shot until yesterday. Wlad didnt look good.

 

Wlad didn't look good? Please explain what he could have done better.

 

Povetkin will win by TKO. Heard it here first.

 

Czar Povetkin isnt Eddie Chambers or Ruslan Chagaev. He will **** Waldo.

 

The best thing about this fight will be getting to listen to Teddy Atlas in the corner. I can't wait. Image the things Atlas will be saying when his fighters face looks like a smashed tomato. It is going to be comedic gold. :roflatsch

 

Explain, because I dont understand how it works. Povetkin lost 5 rounds and won by close decision, Wlad won every round and KTFO in 12 Chambers.

 

Povetkin also swells and cuts very easily. His skin is very thin. Imagine what Wlad's Jab will do to Povetkins face. Even Chambers gave Povetkin a huge black and blue mouse under his eye.

 

Chambers is a guy who waits for you to fall in. That is what he made a career doing. He wasn't trying to get inside. He was trying to counter Wladimir and had no success because Wladimir was too far out.

Povetkin is a different animal all together. He will make his range. He leads, he doesn't follow. Even if Wladimir lands the jab Povetkin will be pushing his way inside and forcing the fight. If he can put some dents in Wladimir it is going to be a very interesting fight.

Of all the heavies out there, the one that I would say you can't just put in a niche is Povetkin. I think even guys like Chambers have their calling cards, their bread & butter. In that sense they are predictable. The things I've heard of Povetkin is that he isn't very predictable. He's deceptively skilled.

Chambers is going to be an easier time for Wladimir because Chambers is too short and his game doesn't work against those giants who are good fighters.

Povetkin was always in range for Chambers because he had to be. Povetkin comes forward to set his plate and so Chambers had opportunities to land. Not so with Wladimir.
