Wlad vs Povetkin superfight build up thread

Povetkin didn't do much talking, he's not exactly Captain Charisma. It looked like a bewildered ginger ogre with a bad hair day had accidentally ended up at the press conference.

And why were they giving Wlad a wierd looking dildo at the end of the presser? Maybe they've heard about his ventures in Ibiza.

 

Nice video, povetkins mits guy is thinking damn we are done for, wlad looked fast, accurate, great distance awareness, great footwork, further wow the combination punching.

got to be honest povetkin looked stationary, quite stiff, not as accurate.

you can see from this video wlads gonna use his arm like he did against pianetta as soon as povetkin gets close, i just cant see povetkin winning.

Key point

in the first round of many of wlads fights he is always tentative, he needs to get the jab going before throwing the right, he needs to feel comfortable. Many fighters due to the occasion fight slow in the first round this allows wlad to get settled.

if you watch povetkins last few fights he has been feeling out the opponent the first few rounds he cannot do this against wlad, dont let wlad get into his rhythm, he must take the pressure to wlad from the opening bell, and the great thing about this is wlad wont expect it.

I got wlad winning in round 7 tko, his punching power is immense.

Lamon brewster gave the blue print to beat wlad, you got to take it to him, be willing to take a lot of punishment to get inside and land your bombs, your not gonna outbox wlad, you got to rough him up, people don't realize the impact of lamons body shots, and the hooks, it winded wlad, that is the way to beat him. Easy said than done, goes to show the heart brewster had in the first fight he never gave up.

However wlads foot movement has improved so much

 

more importantly, greater skill level, Lamont was able to open up Wlad when Wlad came into the danger zone.

 

The mush is in. As expected Klitschko hater and former Povetkin trainer Teddy Atlas has picked Povetkin to win by KO. What is his prediction %, and has he ever picked a Klitschko to win a fight? I figure he had to against Mormeck. Kinda feel bad for Povetkin now.

 

the best odds ive seen is 6-1 with POV being the underdog

I feel bad for Povetkin, he will get a brutal beating just like Chagaev

 

Eh not really

315 isn't that much for a 220lbs professional athlete

There have been reports that Wlad can bench somewhere in the 400s

 

i was thinking where he was at the public workout, he would have been better for povetkin as a cornerman aswell, why would they get rid of him, he was good for povetkin.

 

I was hoping to see Kosta in the corner. Thats a shame.

 

how come?????

whats your prediction???

 

Witherspoon sounds like he DKSBA. Amazing. I never gave Povetkin that much of a chance but with the fight being so close I'm starting to wonder if he's not going to end up harder than anyone in a long time or pulling off a major upset by hook or crook.

I made this promo type video yesterday for fun earlier:

:conf Maybe we're in for a good one finally instead of a Klitschko dominationfest.
