    Williams has shown he is still a gatekeeper of some sort...how do you see this fight playing out

    Povetkin takes an easy win and may even stop DW.

    Povetkin has excellent work rate and good stamina which Airichis and Platov do not have.

    Absolutley would not be a KO here, and nor would, or should Povetkin seek one. Povetkin by a really wide UD. Shut out possible.

    The only way I see a stoppage here is if Williams berserk corner pulls him. Which they didn't against Klitschko, so it seems unlikely.

    Danny is way too slow for Povetkin. Povetkin wide UD or KO

    Unfortunately I'd have to go with Povetkin here with Danny putting up a brave show.

    Depends which Danny turns up, as ever. Could be a blow out or competitive. I'd see Povetkin as a clear favourite but Danny is a big guy and when his mind is on the job he can cause problems.

    i have seen about 15 different danny williams ranging from amazing to **** stopping at everything inbetween.

    danny could win if he turns up at his best but i would put my money on povetkin

    I think he can give Alex a good go, Danny has power and size 280lbs, but Alex would out work him

    There's no way that Williams makes it past round 5 with Povetkin. Did you guys even see how horrible he looked in the Airich fight (even when he actually seemed motivated)? Williams is a weak chinned C level fighter, Povetkin would stop him early.. I can't believe how many people are saying UD.

    Danny would not see past the 4th against Povetkin, Sasha is ten times what Sinan is , and a thousand times what Audley is.. Danny would be on the end of several hard knockdowns before getting stopped for a TKO .. Povetkin is for real, i can't stress it enough, he is one of the three best heavys in the world..

    He is also getting better...

    Hey Bigcat, do you know if Ahunanya is really going to fight Alonzo Butler on FNF in June?

    Yes , the fight is on ESPN2 on the 20th at the Thomas & Mack.. i should be out in Vegas in a few weeks. Friday will be in fabulous shape. What do ya think of Alonzo?

    He is coming off a detached retina surgery (Alonzo) and i heard he can be a lazy ******* in the gym.. We'll have something for him.. LOL

    I think he will be favored odds-wise, but I will be putting money on Ahunanya. :D Unlike many HW's, Friday always comes into fights in great shape and judging by the way Butler gets heavier every time he fights, you can't say the same about him. He's taking a huge step up here and I don't think he's ready for it.. his team is underrating Ahunanya. Butler is very slow and pretty sloppy, I think he'll also have big stamina issues late in the fight (if it's a 10 or 12 rounder). Good luck to you guys! Hopefully he will get more recognition after a win over a HW prospect on ESPN.
