    Klitschko weighs lightest in four years. That is the lightest Wladimir has been at since he fought Ruslan Chagaev over four years ago.

    Nah, thought he was sharp throughout. Maybe tired a bit after the 3 kd round but caught wind again later on, cardio was good.

    Looked a bit gaunt at the public workout, also something about his eyes didn't look quite right during the ring walk. But that might just be me.

    I thought Wlad looked a little drained/dehydrated myself. I was a bit worried in the early rounds. Wlad usually looks much more cut and muscular than he did tonight.

    I thought the same thing. He looked a little frail compared to recent fights.

    He was abnormally light for this fight thought still looked huge and ripped. Not sure why he was so much lighter then usual can only assume it was on purpose.

    Wlad looked pretty bad despite being so dominant. He looked so ungainly at times it was like watching a talented and genetically enhanced Tyson Fury. His right hand was nearly non existent and when he opened up in the 7th was very sloppy, he used to look much more coordinated when he opened up prior to Steward. I think it's safe to say Wlad is declining with age.

    For all the **** talked about Fury he can actually throw good smooth combinations for a guy of his size, the only combo Wlad can put together is the jab/grab

    These Wlad nuthuggers are mentally ill. Always have excuses for Wlad coward style. Wlad is scared to get hit and all he could do was hold. Povetkin didn't just stand there and let Wlad jab him like most of the tomatos Wlad has been fighting. Wlad had no answer for Povetkins pressure so he cheated. Noting to do with his weight.

    Fury can fight on the inside and Wlad cannot, Povetkin would have won is Wlad was made to fight by the rules.
