    Great pick. I haven't seen much of him but seem to get the feeling he'll give anyone a tough fight.

    I don't buy that line of reasoning. I think what happened is that he had the flu, which impaired his ability to work angles, and caused him to take more punches than he normally would. If one looks his footwork and stamina is clearly off from previous fights, which all indicates that something was wrong.

    Everyone I know that has seen a lot of Povetkin agrees that something was wrong that night and it had nothing to do with Eddie. Don't get me wrong Eddie is a good fighter, but the amount of times he landed flush is a bit overstated by a lot of people, and Povetkin's own sickness had a lot to do with him not looking his best.

    That is why he wins, Povetkin comes to fight. He may have less talent and skills, but Povetkin makes up for it in heart. But heart can only take a man to the threshold. Sooner or later Povetkin will face an opponent who can punish him for the flaws in his style.
