    Atlas will make Povetkin worse.

    I would have thought Wlad would also want a fight in the next couple of months and go ahead and get Chambers outta the way in the meantime, instead of waiting til December on Povetkin.

    This two fight a year schedule seems like they waste their best years by fighting so infrequently.

    "Bu, bu, but he inspired Moorer to the HW title with his speeches".
    :lol: :roll:

    Of course, Moorer didn't even listen to him after Teddy went all Tony Robbins on him.

    Atlas may be an effective trainer, but his track record doesn't inspire confidence. Aaron "Condom on the Eye" Snowell has a better track record than the overrated Atlas.

    You can tell his headmovement and footwork are coming along but he's still not perfected it, has the odd momentary lapse or has to take a second to think about it on occasion. Encouraging and good to see in my opinion though. Doesn't sound like he wants to get in there vs Klitschko still, which is beyond dissapointing.

    Defense, he still doesn't have. He seems to have a mental lapse in this fight with Mora. Luckily, he has a good chin, but, against Wlad, he will run out of luck.

    side to side headmovement to slip shots, bobing and weaving when inside he's doing now, most of the time,not just walking straight in, stepping off to the side and turning his opponent are all things you can tell he's improving on but isn't muscle memory yet.
