Mike Perez sparring, look his amazing defence skills. He is preparing to fight Alexander Povetkin in May 22. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94lTQ2cEAhk[/url]
I would be surprised. Povetkin is not that big of a puncher so it would have to be a heck of a performance. I just hope that Perez comes in at 231 agains o we can have a real good fight. I doubt Perez was at his best against Jennings and a rematch could easily go other ways. And this is the best string of opponents Povetkin has faced since i dont even know when.
Povetkin is a big puncher dude. Over the last year he KO'd Takam who was never KO'd before, then KO'd Charr who had only been KO'd once by Vitali. This Russian is a beast, he ruins people.
Nah, he aint that big of a puncher. He breaks his opponents down for a good KO but he lacks that overwhelming power.
Povetkin has huge power and is probably second to Wlad for punching power. If Povetkin come in shape, like his last 2 matches, Perez will be Koed. And for the sparr i`m not impressed, but he surely looks bad in offense.
Jennings was getting the better of him inside (at a distance perez with his shorter arms was winning oddly enough). I don't see Perez keeping Pov at distance or getting the better of the infighting
Povetkin always gasses in the second half of the fight. If Perez fights defensively he can win a decision.
:think I think you are confusing both. Povetkin is a slow starter but becomes stronger in the second half of the fight, while Perez is a good starter but runs out of gass after 5 rounds.
Not good enough to save him from being KO'd by Povetkin next month.. Perez is good, but he comes up short in big fights.
