    Povetkin may very well have the most stacked sparring group ive seen and hes going to need it.

    Dubois and Sirenko should make this a much harder fight in getting Povetkin used to a Joshua LIKE presense,but....

    They arent Joshua and Povetkin is tailor made for him.

    I beleive this is the stand out Joshua performance where he shows the differance between him and the other HW's.

    If the the best Povetkin shows up we could have a few spots of intense action,but Joshua is not going to let Povetkin linger and im going to say Joshua by 8th round k.o.

    Let's hope that since Sasha isn't allowed any gear, whilst the bodybuilder is allowed to indulge in whatever kind of gear his chemist presents him with, whilst in full knowledge that they'll swap around his urine sample, that Pov does a canelo and stacks his gloves with Russian building grade heayv duty cement to make it more of a level playing field

    He'll need to knock him out cause I doubt he would ever be able to win a decision against Joshua in the UK

    I don't think Povetkin can handle AJ's power. This should be over by the mid rounds.

    That's because Takam decided not to trade and boxed and moved vs the bigger Joshua. He realised early on he couldn't compete on the inside, the knock down in the 5th proved that.

    Povetkin isn't a mover, he'll go right at Joshua which will see him take more shots than Takam did so I think Joshua is more likely to get a clean stoppage vs Povetkin by grinding him down.

    If Pov can't cut the ring off, then he can't win. If he can't stop AJ from clinching in close quarters ala Klitschko, then he can't win. AJ has the power to keep him honest as well.

    The 39 year old fighter has an uphill battle, can't see him winning at this stage of his career. At best he goes the distance and loses UD.

    After Povetkin has few rocky moments, maybe a KD or two, he will eventually catch AJ who'll go down just like David Price, and no ref in the world can save him this time. That is unless they literally pull a KO4Clev type move.:lol:

    If it goes to the cards, AJ takes it.

    If it ends prematurely, we'll have a new champion.


    (Assuming Pov is still somewhere in the vicinity of his prime.)
