    That interim title is a bunch of bs sorely devised to make money.... it confuses who is "champion" and it dilutes the legitimacy of their main title


    There's enough various titles as it is without without some of them branching out into TWO



    That said, Povetkin by stoppage, then Povetkin, given the opportunity, goes on to thrash Wilder

    povetkin rips stiverne a new one. stiverne has zero credible wins, has been inactive, and looked like crap last time out.

    Povetkin's style suits Stiverne. A non boosted-up Pedvetkin could get blown out.

    You're right it does, but Povetkin has a pretty good chin and Stiverne since winning the title has looked garbage. Some guys reach the pinnacle and all self discipline and drive leaves them as they no longer have something to work towards. If Stiverne was the same guy that battered Arreola twice then it could be a close fight but if we see the Stiverne we've seen recently Povetkin will chew him up and spit him out.

    When Arreola had his workrate up Stiverne looked awful. He just pulls up his guard and takes punches. Povetkin won't be so dumb as Arreola and get brutally countered. Povetkin by late TKO stoppage.

    I heard rumors they will call it "The Stumble in the Jungle" this time out.

    To,play the evil devil we must recall Stiverne was out the night prior to the fight drinking:beer-toast1::beautiful: and chasing tail. He was severely dehydrated.

    If he trains hard and gets his fat AZE back in shape he can exchange power shots and get lucky or GKTFO around the 7th. I expect an exciting fight if Stiveren in prepared.

    Still don't see him pulling this one out but it should be a fireworks show while it last.
