    Povetkin is tough and has heart and is not entirely unskilled, so he has a chance. I chose 15-20%.

    However, Vlad is too big, too strong, too smart with with too great a reach advantage. Additionally he enjoys the ongoing guidance of a highly professional, competent trainer with whom he has created a very effective (however boring it might be...) punch-hug style that I expect to frustrate and wear out a relatively small guy like Povetkin. Sorry, Russkies.

    Lil Klit' by stoppage in 10 or less.

    Definitly under 15%. He is slower, shorter, weaker, and has less skill and experience than Wladimir. It is a shame that Wladimir must fight povetkin. The only one who really makes out in this fight is povetkin with a big pay day.

    Like a 10% chance. I just dont see it happening. Povetkin doesnt hit terribly hard, its not like he is going to get lucky with some big punch and bomb Wlad out. Or even a couple for that matter. He gets hit with the right hand easily, bruises easily. I think this will be somthing of a mismatch actually. Wlad just keeps him at the end of the jab, lands the straight right a few times, He gets KOed.

    Agreed. Povetkin won't even be able to reach Wlad. I hope Povetkin wins, but I just can't see it...

    Im not underestimating Povetkin. What I am saying is that if Wlad is "on his game", I dont think Povetkin has the skill to beat Wlad.

    If Wlad takes this fight lightly, Povetkin can win. But a top level Povetkin cannot beat a top level Wlad. I just dont see it
