looking at some povetkin clips now. byrd definatley does not want to play rope a dope with this man. povetkin brings plenty of speed/angles variety and loads up when he has an opponent against the ropes. more like a middle than a heavy in that aspect.
both will fight with size 9 gloves - Sauerland is pissed, because Povetkin isn't comfortable with those gloves...advantage Byrd...
