Fairly concerning he was rocked more than a few times vs. Huck. I think he could do a decent job, but I don't see him lasting the entire fight.
he has a good chin, but it likely won't help him too much if he keeps eating right hand after right hand
Nope. Like others have said, if he gets rocked by cruiser Huck, Klitschko will destroy him. Bottom line? Given what we've seen so far, I'd say Povekin's whiskers are suspect.
Have to agree. He certainly hasn't displayed an Iron Chin. His Chin is really an unknown commodity at this point. We will find out tomorrow afternoon as Wlad has legit savage power.
His chin is solid! But he wont take many of those right hands from wlad! Its the matter if he can move his head enough to avoid wlads bombs
Strongly agree with you, sir. Eddie Chambers managed to buckle and bust him up when he landed in their fights as well. Got a feeling he's going to get severely battered in this fight.
He's got a pretty good chin, but I don't think he will be able to take shots all 12 rounds form Wladimir. I still can't believe Wach was able to do it.
ummmm... for the Huck fight he trained eating donuts... he figured it'd be a Cake-Walk... he's trained hard for Klitschko!! Waldo peppered Chagaev with shots, didn't make a 'mess' of him... Povetkin hurt Rahman and Boswell with every shot he landed... he's gonna hurt Waldo fo' sho'...
Povetkin has never been hit by Vlad. Vlad will knock him out, but I would not be surprised if the referee is a crook to go along with the criminal judge who is wearing an ankle bracelet............
Lots of fighters have stepped into the ring with Wlad confidence of success, not been stopped before and have a good This content is protected . They all end up being hit harder than they have ever been before. Povektin will be no different
Last time I saw him he had two. :!: Povetkin has a pretty decent chin, but that doesn't matter if you're in the ring with Wlad. Never been down, never been stopped and yet most of them end up on the floor or hanging in the ropes. Not everyone can take punishment like Wach, doped up or not.
Solid chin, but vs Wlad even a good chin can get shattered. His defense should be his main concern as in don't get hit clean too many times. I sense a Wlad stoppage win but that is not to say Povetkin has a china chin its just Wlad is a beast.
Chin checkers coming in with there usual 'chin is suspect' shpiel they don't know **** about chin checking as they never make up their mind until someone is KO'd and then it's 'see I told you, glass chin'. They can never actually asess or judge if someone has a good chin or not. I would say povetkins chin is average, he looked hurt a few times against huck but he's never been put on wobbly legs and as far as I know he's never been down as a pro. Bottom line is that the chin checkers DKSACC
