    Sorry, I have a hard time rooting for a guy who

    a) bitched out twice from fighting for the world title
    b) comes in overweight with regularity
    c) seems to have lost his motivation for the sport a couple years ago

    Egg Chin? Povetkin fights better competition? Shake up the division with a Sasha win? So much Wladimir hate lol.

    He's fought some BIG HITTERS since he was last KO'd...almost 10 damn years ago. Come up with something else, his chin has stood up for almost a decade. Next please.

    Povetkin fought a man that couldnt walk to the ring because he was so decrepit, lost to a Caveman Cruiserweight unofficially, and just beat who? This is also the same guy that ducked the Champion. Who ducks the Champion??? lol

    Alexander Povetkin said today he weighs just 224 right now. He appears to be more muscular and harder than he was a couple of years ago. He trained very hard for Saturday's fight.

    And of course, Wladimir is in excellent condition as always.

    Has Teddy ever predicted anything other than Wlad's opponent beating him?

    I'm watching the fight in a slightly conflicted frame of mind. I like Wlad, and I'm pretty sure he wins (less he drinks some of that ol' Polonium laced tea).

    However, despite the fact that I'm not really that big on Sasha or his ability, part of me would like to see the division shaken up a bit. So I wouldn't mind the Povetkin win either.

    Mainly I'm just hoping that for once we get at least a marginally competitive and exciting HW title fight. Oh, and no dodgy shennanigans.

    A lot of Roubles have gone on this fight, from the bizarrely excessive purse bid, to the (rumoured) huge underworld bets on Povetkin - hard to see why they're so confident in Sasha takin' this unless they know something the rest of us don't.

    F#ck, I reckon they've just acquired a T-800 Terminator from the future and stretched Sashas skin over it:lol: - still wouldn't bet against Wlad tho.

    I will watch Klitschko Vs. Povetkin live. I want Vlad to win, he is the much better fighter. However, does Povetkin have the Russian mafia behind him? I think Povetkin's people will try to cheat, or, at least, rumors say he will. Question is: How will Povetkin's people cheat? Judges, referee, tampered gloves, poisoned food, poison gas coming from Vlad's hotel rooms vents, poisoned water, ad infinitum?

    Povetkin has no chance of winning if he will no cheat.
    I hope Team Klitschko will be careful enough.

    Wlad by KO.

    I think Wlad will knock Povetkin out, but I think Povetkin can last long enough to make it interesting.

    I'm looking forward to this one, what makes it interesting is that Povetkin is unbeaten with a winner's mentality, pretty aggressive with the style to potentially cause some problems for Wlad.

    I hope Povetkin won't freeze for the first couple of rounds. He needs to open up early and try to make this a war, then it will be entertaining. If he allows Wlad to get into his rhythm then it'll be a very very one-sided affair.
