    We know that Wlad will most likely KO Povetkin, however if Povetkin plays it safe and it lasts the distance do you think he has the judges in his pocket and can rob Wlad of a decision?

    It'd be the last nail in the coffin that holds the heavyweight division.

    Very real chance, if Wlad can't get the KO and Povetkin remains very active i wouldn't be surprised.

    if they managed to rob Lewis in the first Holyfield fight with millions of viewers worldwide with the fight taking place in the US, they most certainly can do it to Wlad in Moscow

    It might be in Wlad's mind that a stoppage is needed, not easy given Pov has never even been on the floor.

    Na. CJ Ross and the Chavez Jr vs Vera judges were not appointed. The fight is also not being held in Texas.

    No, because he knocks him out.

    I'm not going to bet real money on it. That's for sure. Mayweather/Alvarez draw? Putin? It's possible.

    Maybe, if Povetkin were to make it to the final bell. But he won't

    If Povetkin is able to be active enough to make a case, then he'll likely deserve the win. But I doubt he will be active enough. Expecting a typical Wlad fight where Povetkin is unable to get inside(and barely tries to do so) and Wlad timidly potshots him until finally opening up later in the fight enough to get the stoppage.

    Don't think Povetkin will see 12 rounds, reckon this will be one of Wlads best performances and I'm far from a Klitscko fan.

    Anything is possible, but I don't think Povetkin hears the final bell.

    With one of the judges wearing an ankle bracelet?! How in the Hell did that happen?! I think Vlad will knock Povetkin out because he knows the fix is in on a decision. Vitali will be there to watch Povetkin's gloves, however, rumors were that Povetkin did not want Vitali to watch his hands being wrapped, nor to see his gloves. Vitali did a good job of catching Wach cheating with a tampered gloves, not to mention that Wach was on steroids........ Will the Russian Mafia have influence? How about all the billions involved? If this fight is fair, then there will be more great fights in Russia, but if there is cheating, boxing in Russia will be dead................afterall, Vlad has a lot of fans in Russia, Vitali has fought there and they both speak Russian..........
