    Merely 8 months after the Hunter fight. A hunter who was young, strong.... and jumped Pov early.

    Pov still hits very hard, as Roy was explaining to us forum nobodies.

    This short film was better put together than The Rise of Skywalker.

    People bicker about Joshua’s and Wilder’s chins all the time, but Whyte is the one who has the worst chin among HW contenders and titlist. It’s so bad that his resident fangirl is still being haunted with it being shattered into pieces 15 months after it happened.

    Yes the Hunter fight knocked the last remnants of life out of Pov. That fight was a proper war and one in which Pov took a lot of damage and at 40 y/o and after a very long and grueling career competing in combat sports from the age of 12 which included also competing in kickboxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, wushu, and karate - a war like that finished him. He was well past his best before he fought Hunter but that fight was his last stand and he was a shell of himself after that and a corpse for the rematch.

    "The years take their toll," Povetkin said in a video posted on his Instagram account

    "I have all kinds of injuries that still need to be treated. The time has come for me to end my career."

    If his chin is that bad, then maybe put your knickers on and go have a try yourself.

    Power is indeed the last thing to go, but Povetkin looked done in from his ring walk in the second Whyte fight. How he was even allowed in that ring I will never know.

    Fair enough, Whyte also was injured... and has also been fighting since a teenager from kickboxing to MMA... and he has been in big wars himself like the Chisora fights. Not as much mileage as Povetkin maybe, but everyone out here has injuries and is shopworn to an extent.

    You say that, but he took some hard, hard punches before going down. Like serious punishment... so clearly his durability wasn't in question.

    His legs looked like they had gone in the first round. He was clearly, absolutely shot to pieces.

    Aydamn is like one of those kids that did something bad and the parents ground the kid for a week. Then the kid comes back, begging for acceptance, crying and trying to wriggle themselves out of the hole they got themselves into.
