Povetkin looked drunk the other weekend fighting Huck who fights like Mayorga in some ways. If Rahman lands anything half decent on him then its gone be and New WBA Regular champion of the world! Hasim The Fossil Rahman
What if Povetkin gets caught??? He should be fighting contenders anyways instead of washed up champs! I would damn near die from laughing if he would get stretched by Rahman!:rofl
Rahman's trainer said recently that Rahman was in the mid-250s. The weight excuse is getting old...the larger problem is one of dedication and motivation. It isn't easy to stay fit post-40, after decades of living an athlete's lifestyle. Even if Rahman was in optimal condition he's too far past-prime to defeat the likes of Povetkin. TKO or quitage in the first 3 rounds. Hopefully after this Povetkin will face a K2 or someone with a pulse.
Povetkin will probably be in better condition for this fight than he was for the Huck disaster. I'd so love for Povetkin to get the stuffing knocked out of him, but I doubt a 40 year old Rahman will be the man to do that. Povetkin UD12.
Rahman still gets fights because the general public knows him as the dude that Kod Lewis. We all know its not the real heavyweight championship so ignore the fight
Say whatever you want but more Povetkin degrades more he delivers entertaining fights. His boxing might becoming less quality but its fun to watch good old scrap. I wont be surprised if he goes life and death with Rahman, and it's good because it makes people more intrested in their fight.
I read the same. WTF, why lie about your weight? I won't believe his weight until he is on the scales. Still, 250's is better than the 284 he was sporting last year.
