WOW, after watching that joke of a fight, I can assure that klitschko would had took care of that Syke joke in 1 round, no balance, scared like a beaten dog, didnt want to fight at all, probably didnt even train for it. took a ****kin dive alexander looked like any normal HW out there with nothing special, u think Alexander can win against Klit with that workrate? his predictable 1-2 wich would had no effect cause Wlad' 1-2 is faster sharper and 10X times stronger, jesus christ some of the posters in here are crazy, povetkin I will say it again, is nothing special, he has absolutly NOTHING on wlad and would get eat alive. hell I think even todays version of James Toney would had looked like ****in Muhamed Ali in there with Sykes. Hypejob, thats what I call it.
Maybe so, but as a Wlad fan, I'd like to warn Mr Klitchko that if he keeps that pawing nonsense up, as he ha recently done, in the early rds, he may be clocked by Povetkin early
povetkin can surely hit Wlad, but meanwhile he would get hit, and he does not have the power to hurt badly wlad, hes no sam peter
He's got solid enough power and he's pretty accurate and can land punches in combinations, Wlad's chin is shaky too say the least, make no mistake Povetkin can stop him if he gets inside and lands powerful combinations.
I understand what your saying, I'm with you on that one but since the first time I saw him fight I juste kept saying over and over to the guys who Hype him up, he could not KO klit and as nothing better then him, hes a good combination punche, yes but he needs to get inside to do so, wlad would completly jab him to death if he tried that.
Wlad is overrated right now, he is still that same Klichko that gassed against Brewester, nearly lost to Davaryl Williamson, and got knocked out by Sanders. Povetkin can take Wlad, its not inconceivable
So far Povetkin has shown a solid Heavyweight chin, although I admit he hasn't faced a puncher of Wlad's caliber. Haye on the other hand has shown an average Cruiserweight's chin at best. If Povetkin fought Haye tomorrow I think Povetkin has the workrate and plenty enough power to KO Haye. In fact i'd bet all my V-Cash on it! :good :hey
That's ridiculous. Wlad is a much more seasoned fighter than he was when he got caught vs. Sanders. He's learned ring generalship and much better footwork as well as retaining the jab & power he always had.
I'm not really a gambling man :yep but you're right. That matchup would justify a couple hundred dollars if the odds are good.
I'm not sold on Povetkin, either, and haven't been since the Chambers fight. That fight was there for Eddie if he had any conditioning, and there was at least one occasion when I thought he stunned Povetkin. And we know Eddie can't punch. Povetkin is a hard worker but burns a lot of energy throwing those combinations. He isn't a fluid fighter and thus is relatively easy to time and predict. The key is whether his opponent can withstand the early onslaught. Povetkins' best chance is to wait for Wladimir to get old or else hope that someone else takes him out first. It's a horrible matchup for Povetkin, who likely would get starched within eight rounds.
While offensively he is solid, his only defence is run and clinch, when Wlad gets hit he immediately begins to clinch, if Povetkin focuses on body and keeps coming forward with combos he will knock out Wlad
I wasn't sold on Alexander , but then i took my fighter to face him in Germany, he is one hell of a sharp operator, and that was 2 years ago.. He took his time with Sykes yesterday, and was very dissapointed that he never got a decent workout.. Povetkin is just about ready for Wladimir.. Wlad continues to act mediocre.. While we must remember Sasha is only a 3 year novice in comparrison.. We will just have to wait and see, Ageinst Eddie Chambers he was very sick and never used it as an excuse, he just continued in his preparations and fought like a true pro, He looked vulnerable but still solid even on his most horrible day.. He is primed for Wlad, and i hope Wlad gets himself in the riight frame of mind for him. Povetkin is a deceptively good heavyweight..
