    Povetkin has never had great cardio but since Hughie Fury he seems exhausted after 4-5 rounds. Instead of Whyte I would hide behind my jab the first part of the fight and then possibly seek the KO in the second part, once Sasha is exhausted.

    Cool that A.J and Whye = old uncles beaters for surnames on their heritage didn't had in the ring 32-24 y.o Povetkin to taste his cardio.
    Ruiz appeared not enough old for A.J, imagine what will happen with Whyte if he will have not at max 225 lbs 41. y.o old Povetkin, guy laughted up in forums ?
    Haye or Lewis or Wilder, Fury had been placed in front for old uncles beaters D.W and A.J to fight with.
    Not enoguh old their versions. :D
    217 lbs prime Haye had switched off both primadonnas: A.J and Whyte cold off.

    Pupp D W never had problems?

    He might had finished cold off by dudes like Haye but now he is possible future king with old small uncle.
    What a kind of heritage fights for both old uncles beaters in backyards, cherry picking protected also with clauses kids?
    Wilder is not enough old for them ?

    It's not a criticism, merely speculation. Imo we're never going to have a clean sport and there are several compelling reasons to abolish drug testing in sport entirely.

    For me : I'm not enough naive to believe in fairy tales for kids. Big sport is big sport.
    A.J and D.W like buterelo are with hometown officiating: matchmaking, referage and judgment.
    Why instead of bringing up Povetkin and putting him on clauses for Whyte had not been picked up Ruiz Jr or Wilder?
    Povetkin looked easier beatable ?and even if this did not had happened, he was big name and CARDS there?..........

    Upset happened with old small for HW uncle.

    I think he'll probably get KO'd again, but agree that Whyte's best shot at the W is to go for broke. Even though he is relatively old and worn, I think the longer the fight lasts, the better it is for Povetkin. Quality tells over time and all that.

    If Pov was not older than 36 y.o, I had picked up Pov to win this one and first too.
    Pov vs Whyte I = I had picked up Whyte to win this one.

    I have Povetkin winning again unless he's declined much more since their last fight. Povetkin will catch him eventually and I don't think Whyte has the chin to handle Povetkin's power. My prediction is Povetkin by TKO with Whyte ahead on the scorecards.

    In my opinion, if Whyte doesn't put on his best performance, he'll get KO'd again.
