    ROTY so far?

    I was shocked Price got up from that first KD... then recovered well and rocked Povetkin with a nice left hook, if it wasn't the end of the round he could have had him outta there, Pov still looked a bit shaky at the beginning of the 4th. Guys a warrior though, came back and did what he had to do.

    Props to both guys for a great scrap, made up for the stinker of a main event.

    BS, nobody has ever had POVETKIN outta there... and he's taken way harder shots than that left hook. Povetkin was recovered right after the ref wiped his gloves.

    Making Povetkin take a count is some consolation for Price, considering the many names he has faced that have failed to do that, but it came at quite a cost. That said I was actually impressed he got up for the decision.

    Povetkin was knocked against the ropes, he didn't go down.................he beat the living hell out of Price and has beaten everyone except a prime Vlad.......................Wilder if afraid of him, ask Haymon and his WBC! VADA cleared Povetkin!!!

    BS. Povetkin was rocked hard and he needed all of the 4th to get his legs feeling solid again. Price hits damn hard.

    When Price slammed his fists on the aprin in frustration was my favourite bit of the fight you could almost hear his own thoughts of FOOL, GET UP and FIGHT.

    Povetkin was hurt so badly that he knocked Price out!

    Povetkins legs were gone. He was saved by the bell. Then price should have dived on him the start of the next round but took the round off. He missed a big opportunity.

    I was screaming on the top of my lungs when Pricey had Povetkin in trouble. It was a pity he gassed out the very next round. Povetkin didn't look very dominant and a bit puzzled after that.

    he looked "puzzled"??? more like "relieved" that Price was alive after that brutal KO.

    Povetkin was clearly badly hurt, haven't seen him that badly hurt since the Wlad fight. But Price does have a huge, huge punch, luckily Povetkin has a granite chin, a lot of heavyweights would of been in serious trouble after taking that shot last night. Povetkin was hurt but took it well.

    Yeah that was fantastic to see. When he went down I was like, oh here we go, but he clearly wasn't going to fold that easily, he was more annoyed than hurt. Great to see a fighter display their heart and desire like that, just wish Price had a chin to match his heart.

    I thought he recovered from it quite well considering his Khan like chin, iirc it was a very good punch that put him down.

    Povetkin absoloutley was hurt, and he was buzzed a couple of other times. Price does have very legit ko power and he actually set his feet and threw with bad intentions in this fight which he hasn't done for a while.
