    As always. If Bruno employed similar tactics to Wlad's, Povetkin might not take a round.

    Povetkin would freeze Bruno like a deer in headlights around round 8 after trailing on the cards and stiop big Frank.

    It's Bruno to win or lose depending on how he handled it, Povetkin is pretty average

    Hes a good pressure fighter and Bruno was never great at holding over the course of a fight.

    You're stretching the definition of good. He doesn't have the power of Witherspoon or Smith does he? And there's a good chance he does what he did against Wlad when he was outboxed and outgunned and go into a shell. If he can come from behind and force the fight he should win unless Bruno can hug his way to a decision.

    Bruno also has a chance of sparking Povetkin though.

    Smith has nothing on Povetkin. Bruno would get laid out. I can't see a Wlad impersonation holding up for him.

    I'd bet on Povetkin but by no means would I count out Bruno he hit very hard and Povetkin can be hit...

    Povetkin by KO in the late rounds.

    Nobody here would bet money on Bruno, especially by knockout.

    Actually, he does. What top 10 rated heavyweights did Witherspoon ever knockout?

    Bruno fighting like wlad?

    Also is Bruno 6'3-6'4 230-240lbs. Povetkin is 220-235lbs 6'2
    He couldn't fight like wlad and he didn't.
