Povetkin wins, but the fight won't be easy. Parker has few good (though unspectacular) wins over Takam, Ruiz and Fury and is solid top-10 HW. Povetkin late stoppage or decision (7-5 or 8-4).
I think he gets the KO... Povetkin is a clear favorite against anyone with the exception of AJ, and even there I'd give him a 30-40% chance of winning.
Parker's stamina seems to be getting better in each fight, and I think he has a pretty good chin too. Think he can take Sasha the distance.
I'm not entirely convinced Parker's stamina is all that improved, the only point of reference for that claim is a 12 round stinker against Fury that was very light on action. Also if Takam and Ruiz have no trouble finding the target, Povetkin certainly won't either. Sasha hits harder than those two, is relentless in his pressure and is an accomplished and accurate combination puncher. Поветкин late TKO.
I would take Sasha by a hair. Either by KO or decision. I think it would be a great fight potentially.
Povetkin by double left hook fight never takes place though. I still hope we get Briggs-Povetkin, Povetkin-Browne. I think these caught PED users will never get title shots. Champions always have that excuse to pull, hope I'm wrong
VADA testing, coz if VADA is used for the fight I expect them to KO him a third time, there are already 2-0 against Povetkin.
Probably Povetkin, by late KO, provided the rubber ***** he borrowed from Mike Tyson works as advertised for the VADA testing.
Im really not sure what Povetkin has left in him these days. If there is anything left in him he beats Parker. I really like Parker but the man is limited and is 1 big step behind the likes of Joshua and dare i say Wilder.
