That was the same Povetkin from August

Povetkin's legs were rubbery in the first round without him even getting seriously hit and Whyte was arguably cagier in this fight than the first. The first three rounds were competitive in the first fight but none of the rounds were competitive this time around. Povetkin had little left at 41; he had nothing left after sustaining even more damage in the last fight and aging another 6 months. But you can only beat the man in front of you and Whyte stopped him early. Whyte also didn't run away or show signs of crumbling psychologically, so it was a good win for him.

 

Sasha was a shell of a fighter, getting wobbled by misses, no balance. Time to call it a day.

 

Holy ****ing **** you made this EXACT same point on the other thread.

WHY make your own thread about this?

How on earth could anybody think that Povetkin was the same man as even last August is beyond me.

It literally boggles the ****ing mind how everyone else can see this and you can't... to the point where you have to make a thread about this.

 

Fat bum won simply because povetkin obviously never recovered from covid and is old and shot. 39yo povetkin would have smashed fatso again.

 

Eh, Luke Campbell wasn't in a hospital bed twice. I saw straight away Povetkin wasn't right during the ring walk. Was obvious.

No it goddamn wasn't, he had no legs at all and his reflexes were even worse. Everything was declined physically there.

 

I agree bro he should have walked off in to the sunset

 

This guy is obviously a troll, or blind.

Povetkin looked terrible in the first fight for sure, but in this one he was wobbling for no reason. I was (an am) worried about him neurologically even apart from getting hit. He needs to retire immediately.

 

Povetkin was not fit to fight. How can an Olympic medalist with one of the best fundamentals be tripping over his own feet and staggering at blocked shots.

Was even worse than degale-Eubank.

 

As usual the Whyte nut huggers doing their best to pretend the first fight ko never happened.

 

Again take your biased glasses off.
He was landing at will in the first fight, and his defence was way better than the nonexistent defence of today. He was also countering, and landing a lot more shots, as well as actually have the legs to go close and landing the shots, and have the speed in the hands to do so.
Yeah he was very shot in the first, but now he was 90% worst.
Whyte looked the same, and was swinging like a complete amateur.
He did not improve even a bit from the first fight, and its a big KO waiting to happen again.
