    I'm still 50-50 on whether to buy this fight on PPV.

    I saw the Price fight and was impressed with the brutal knockout but then again I guess any top heavyweight could do that to Price.

    Can Povetkin close the distance and work Joshua on the inside?

    I'm also surprised on how few threads there are on this fight.

    Oh he has a chance for sure, more of a chance than Parker had. The question is if he can work for 12 rounds. He can box comfortably for 12 as we saw against Hammer and Rudenko but he didn't have much coming back. I think he's dangerous for AJ early but the longer it goes on the more that fades. Unless AJ punches himself out again. If you had Pov in the position that Wlad had AJ, Pov ain't gunna play it safe.
