    He always does this. One of the most humble men in boxing. But such a warrior in the ring..

    Who's hating Sasha? If anything we're hating Hearn for not going to bat for Sasha and what he's earned.

    I wonder will Whyte have the motivation to go forward? He has been waiting for his title **** for a while and now got blasted out, sure it was a competitive fight, but I don't know whether his desire will be there anymore.

    All other big names are busy.

    This is the highest risk/reward fight for Povetkin to take.

    No matter if you like whyte or povetkin, whyte is number 10 trending on twitter in usa so boxing got more attention as of today, povetkin did boxing a service during the pandemic.

    Nah bro, that Wilder glass jaw talk is ridiculous. I wasn't sure about Wilders jaw for a long time but he definitely hasn't a glass jaw. I'm boxing for more than 20 years now and i saw guys getting knocked out by the first decent punch that landed and you can not call Wilder a glass jaw. He took bombs from guys like Ortiz, Fury, Stiverne, big ****ing guys who can knock anyone out. Whoever says Fury is featherfisted has no ****ing clue about boxing. No ****ing clue man. A guy weighing 250 pounds or more isn't featherfisted. The only shot that dropped Wilder was a behind the ear shot which drops everyone. I can guarantee you if a decent puncher at 147 hits a HW behind the ear it will be crucial and there is a good chance he drops him. Wilder isn't a glass jaw. Thats a bad example. Amir Khan is a glass jaw. The difference is obvious.

    Yeah the WBC/ Wilder screwed him and he would of beat the brakes off of Wilder which is why they ducked it.

    Persoon admitted Katie deserved to win this time rather than storming out of the ring in disgust so take that for what it's worth.

    Not saying you particularly. But loads on the forum are hating Sasha for having a rematch with Whyte.

    I mean who can blame a guy for taking a winnable fight for the highest possible purse.

    Most think he only won by one Hail Mary shot. If he beats Whyte again, he can negotiate better of he gets another crack at a title.

    But 10% hopefully against the winner of Fury/Wilder against 50% guaranteed against Whyte.

    No brainer.

    Plus if he beats Whyte again, the Fury fight is still there.

    It's just a shame so many are hating on him.

    Whyte was younger but he didn't realize Povetkin was a BOOMER. :biggrin:

    If you look at the second KD in the 4th, Povetkin was trying the same combo from the other side, right uppercut and got caught...
    He's been working on this combo for the fight....worked out better from the other side.

    This could have easily been Whytes victory ...so close, yet so far away.
