    Povetkin lost a few pounds, and looks ready to go.

    Good stuff! I don't think he really needs (or can) make a big change in style.

    All he needs to change from the last two years:
    -Be in great shape (looks are deceiving though, he doesn't look like Haye, but threw 70 punches a round vs Chambers)
    -Improve his defence a bit
    -Remain active.

    He doesn't need Atlas to perform a miracle, just to get back on track. I don't like Atlas, but this could be a good thing. Tonight will tell a lot..

    i honestly dont see whats the big deal about this guy, he has ver basic skills. average speed, average power, just an average fighter. boytsov is the guy to keep an eye on.

    Lets just hope Teddy can realize its about the fighter and not him,and hope he doesnt grand stand in between rounds again.

    Ithought the same thing when i saw the pic. Definitley looks like he tightened up and put on a bit of muscle.

    I agree about Teddy. I hope he helps Sasha get some more head/upperbody movement on defense but aside from that i would change much. Especially not his offense and workrate.

    great shape?...

    they both have man tits. have you ever seen a povetkin highlight reel on youtube? his HIGHLIGHT REEL is him missing most of the time and just being a sloppy brawler. imagine what the rest of his **** looks like, he just swarms people and outworks them. povetkin is shite. he is the reason why being no. 1 contender should have an expiry.
