    I wouldn't let Chaggys failings influence your thoughts on the outcome of this fight. He made that fight very easy for Wlad by throwing before he got within range and walking square on into Wlad mitts. Furthermore, he's just not a great fighter imo......................Ive seen Alex adapt to a one handed offence after braking his hand while also having a greater sense of urgency to win. Wlad is incapable of making such adjustments and skill vs skill he comes up short....I believe Povektin is going to pull out all the stops against an opponent like Wlad. His power is also very underrated and if he goes downstairs early and forces Wlad on the backfoot, he's not going to have to worry about huge power shots coming his way.......Also, no way Wlad is allowed huggy bear Alex to death....He's going to have to work a pace he's not comfortable with and this is why Im think he'll walk away.

    OK dinovelvet.

    What would you conclude if Wlad won against your expectations?

    I dont fully expect Alex to win 100% but i favour him. If he gets beat , Wlad has his best victory on his record. Take another look at the kd in the second round against the Pole and watch the repaly. Thats slipping a jab. Wlad dont want any part of that.

    Who has slipped Wlad's jab often in a match. No one. Poevtkin is a square cut torso guy with limited head movement, and he's a little stiff in the legs. As I said he's no defensive master. I doubt he can slip Wlad's jab enough to make a differnce.

    Haye moved his head for 12 rounds and Wlad was totally lost without the map and compass. He was so unsure of himself he refused to go anywhere near Haye while he had his back to the ropes and held back so the judges would look after him. If Haye does that against Fury he's a ko victim on the spot.....Pianeta got through with sloppy , looping hooks. Luckily for Wlad he couldn't hurt a girl. Povektin can hurt.

    Wlad is a much better fighter than he was pre 2006. Much better. He is not suspect vs power punchers anymore. Wlad has beaten much better fighters than sanders in the last 5 years.

    Wlad see's everybody as a threat and put in a hard and laborious training camp for Pianeta....If Haye opted out of the action why was he not put away?

    Mendoza,

    I could argue David Haye is a better head to head fighter than corrie sanders
