Povetkin vs Stiverne on the 17 of december in Yekaterinburg Russia

Both fighters are out of their primes, but I still see Povetkin knocking Stiverne's head clean off.

 

Povetkin probably wins but Stiverne is a live underdog. While in a way I hope Povetkin wins so he can face Wilder and finally test Wilder against a clear top 5 hw and see if he's legit or not, in another way it would be absolutely hysterical if Stiverne won. It would drive people bat**** crazy. Wilder would "back in" to another rise in credentials that would be logical but utterly unsatisfying, like Duhaupas and Molina doing well after he beat them. His haters would tie themselves in knots trying to justify why he still shouldn't be considered top, and his fans would act as if there wasn't a real problem with getting him to face top competition.

 

Povetkin has been on the warpath since his loss to klitschko. It's been great watching him walk through the likes of charr, takam, Perez.

I think povetkin will do the same but late rounds

 

Nice fight. I'd comfortably favor Povetkin and probably by decision. A Stiverne upset wouldn't be too shocking though. He's a decent counterpuncher and could catch Povetkin with something big.

 

Stiverne let's goooooooooooooo...!!!

 

Stiverne ko in 7-9

 

Fight will probably (hopefully) look a bit like Povetkin vs Takam, though possibly a bit more one sided for Povetkin with Stiverne landing the meatier shots here and there. Can't really see Stiverne winning with his workrate unless he catches Povetkin with something big and drops him for the count; quite possible considering Povetkin tends to get hit a lot on the counter. Otherwise I see Povs overwhelming Stiverne and probably catching him with something round the gloves, stunning him and following up for the stoppage.

 

Stiverne has not looked all the great......He beat Fat Chris but looked horrible with Wilder.
I have to predict a late TKO by Povetkin on this one unless Stiverne actually shows up in shape and let's his hands go...If that's the case I still see a win by Povetkin but not TKO but close UD

 

I have to pick Povetkin by KO, TKO, or UD...................
