I see Povetkin as coming right into Wlad's artillery. He's NOT a southpaw so Wlad will be able to use his weapons freely and more effectively. I'm predicting a bloody KO by Wlad within 7.
Well he did fight/beat Chambers. And he won an IBF tournament to be no. 1 contender. In this day and age, that will have to do for fighting someone. He certainly earned a shot. But I agree he will be a human punching bag against Wlad.
Sauerland begins with the same bul**** he did the last time. Kalle Sauerland said Povetkin will be ready for September but Wlad not. Wlad should be careful with Sauerland, he wants the IBF Title but not the fight against Wladimir.
I´m not sure if you´re right about Povetkin. As of now he indeed hasn´t shown anything special, and yes, he´s very hittable, but he´s doing a lot of pressure to his opponents. That is something that Wlad doesn´t like. Boytsov btw is much overrated on this board.
