Why don't the polls ever have a DRAW option. I pick Wlad winning this by a split decision which will put Povetkin on the map and in line for a rematch. Povetkin wins a UD in the rematch.
Povetkin's workrate is insane... In his fight with Eddie Chambers he landed equal punches, but threw 531 (!) more and THAT is what won him the fight. Plus, I have never seen Povetkin get hurt or even stunned. If Wlad can actually hurt him, I'd say Wlad by KO/TKO. Ohterwise we may have an upset here, based on Povetkin throwing so many punches in every round...
Wlad will jab all night eventually cutting / swelling povetkin, eventually winning because of cuts. povetkin seems to have soft skin )
