    It was hardly controversial. Wlad was clearly a better fighter beside that flash knockdown and the stoppage was justified.

    Anyway to answer your question I am not sure. I can see either of them KO/TKOing each other.

    Of course i understand Klitschko is the favorite he beat Povetkin in the real world, it's just interesting because Klitschko didn't use those tactics early on

    LoooL!! :lol::lol::lol: :deal::thumbsup:

    But anyway, 24-26 Year old Wlad (First Byrd fight to Mercer) was still an offensive powerhouse. He KO’s Povetkin late after a good back and forth.
