povetkin-donald

[ryanty22]

does anyone know what it will be televised on??? this would be very helpful im in the states and would love to watch

[AlexxWozHere]

Russian TV will televise whole card, but other countries... dont know.

[Alcaldemb]

Russian TV will televise whole card, but other countries... dont know.

It is being promoted by Sauerland so it will be carried on German TV and most likely across Europe.

It can be viewed online, some of us already know the site but people have to PM to ask for it we just cannot put it up here or else the server will be too slow.

[Artani]

Any body knows did ARD will show or any german tv.

[Alcaldemb]

Any body knows did ARD will show or any german tv.

Most likely, Sauerland is the promoter.

[Ivo]

It seems that it is not listed in ARD TV schedule.

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Maybe our German fellow members could tell us more.

[Tom_Tocca]

it will be tape-delayed on german domestic channel "mdr"...

[Ivo]

Oh, that\'s great. I think I have mdr on Hotbird.

[Darien]

It will be aired live on Hungarian cable channel sport1 but I don't know if it is available on the net.

[joma86]

It will be televised on german MDR on 01.07.07 at 9a.m. GMT +1:00.

[Bigcat]

Larry is potentially the best technical boxer Alex has faced..

It is a very important one..

If he wins impressively he will start to demand bigtime respect from TV companies and Promoters.

Alexander Povetkin is now fringing on top ten status....

He is way beyond where Ruslan and Peter was at the same time in thier careers..
He is also very comfortable in with the type of competition he is facing..

Barrett in hindsight may have just been a fight..
Donald may prove more tricky ........ Very good selection by Sauerland.

[joma86]

"From Saturday on we're gonna chase for Klitchkos," promises promoter Kalle Sauerland. "Alexander is the coming star in HW. He will beat them all."

[Odo]

"From Saturday on we're gonna chase for Klitchkos," promises promoter Kalle Sauerland. "Alexander is the coming star in HW. He will beat them all."

Lets wait and see how he fares against cagey old vet Donald!
I am glad that Povetkin picked the most competent promoter out there.
Unlike King or Kohl or whoever Sauerland has the skills and connections to turn even limited fighters into household names in Germany.
Sauerland 's very limited young heavy Dettweiler is probably better known in Germany than Kohl's champ Chagaev.
IMO Sauerland does a great job.Povetkin has the support of a very capable team.

[Alcaldemb]

Does anyone know if our favorite Russian language website will carry it and if so what time it will be shown?

[Farmboxer]

I wish Povetkin well. USTV will by boycotting his fight as usual, unless he loses, but I expect him to beat Donald.

[Artani]

Great fight , i dont how Donald looking this days but he staying always old dog for new contenders. Povetkin must fight smart and to not hurry . I will say Povetkin by descacion.

[Alcaldemb]

If no Internet streaming occurs can someone please do a round by round for Sacha vs Donald???


Thank You:

Second this.

[koraytyson]

Oh, that\'s great. I think I have mdr on Hotbird.

Can you write the mdr's frequency in hotbird?

[unitas]

[Alcaldemb]

Somebody get us a link please.

I thank you for your working,Sean.I hope it wll be a good fight.

[geppy]

The fight should be starting soon. Anyone care to give updates?

[MrMagic]

povetkin is outclassing donald, 3-0 rounds.

[MrMagic]

5-0 rounds, good exchanges!

[MrMagic]

7-0 Povetkin

[MrMagic]

8th round was close, povetkin was pressing and landing some body punches
9th round was close, povetking was again pressing, some good exchanges in the end of the round.. this was a very close round

Povetkin is winning by a mile.

[geppy]

Thanks, sounds like another impressive win for Povetkin.

[MrMagic]

Scorecards are in soon.
I got Povetkin winning by 9-1 in rds.

[Alcaldemb]

What's taking so long with the scores? How did Povetkin look overall?

[geppy]

100-90 is it?

[MrMagic]

they were in russian, but Povetkin won UD.. think it was 100-90 on 2 cards.

[Alcaldemb]

100-90 x3, we need more details though. Did Povetkin look good down the stretch, how did he respond to incoming fire, how much damage did he do to Larry?

[MrMagic]

Povetkin looked good, he threw combinations, throwing lethal body punches and is one of these heavyweights that responds when getting hit by hitting back, I am pleased with his performance it was really good.
Povetkin will make a good heavyweight champion.

[MrMagic]

He was throwing combinations, four or even five punches.. body, mixed up and looked very sharp, he hit Donald with many shots.
Donald looked to either stay on the outside and jab, or on the inside tying him up.. not trying to exchange, and when they did exchange Povetkin had the much better accuracy. As I said in the last post, Povetkin responded to the punches kind of like Morales, instantly throwing back.. looked very good.
Donald is a tough veteran, he sure can take some shots.

[krutov]

As always, Povetkin looked impressive. He pressed the action the whole fight. He wanted to trade and give an exciting fight. Donald clinched alot. Povetkin was the clear winner.

[Alcaldemb]

So basically Donald fought to survive and with his chin and ring savvy he can do that quite easily.

[krutov]

yes, he was'nt any threath to Povetkin.

[Alcaldemb]

How much damage did Povetkin do to Donald, and did Sasha having any bruises, cuts or swells of his own?

Donald was bleeding and looked puffy
Povetkin looked like he had been in a fight, but he should do thanks to his style. :good

Yeah he fights a lot like Holyfield did, but he is naturally bigger.

[MrMagic]

Yeah he fights a lot like Holyfield did, but he is naturally bigger.
Yes he is destined to get hit very hard some of these days.
Therefore I think they should match him with a strong puncher before the title, just for him to taste some power.

Virchis.

[MrSmall]

Yep, he's faster than Holyfield though with the combinations.
And need to see his chin/stamina/heart to be a Holy no. 2

[Toney]

A very good win for Povetkin. Okey, Donald came out of 2 years lay-off to take a short notíce fight. He could had not been even close of his best, but still... Winning every round! Wow!

[krutov]

Povetkin will without a doubt give us exciting fights, he reminds me of Holyfield. I think he gets better and better. I hope he becomes champion.

[chliJs]

i expected a very short fight and nearly betted a lot of money on that. really underestimated donald, it looks.

[Bummy Davis]

Seems like they are in a rush with this Kid but even though Donald has not fought in 2 years, he did give Valuev a good close fight. They should put him in with with Rahman,McCline or McCall or Krasnick/Thompson winner

[Langford]

Just watched the fight.
As mentioned, the outcome of the fight was never in doubt. No Euro robbery here, I had the fight scored 100-90 myself, not knowing the outcome. Round one set the tone, with Povetkin pressing the action, landing by far the most telling shots and putting together combos nicely.
Donald looked as crafty as you would expect, it is very tough for a fighter, any fighter, to land solidly against him. Povetkin did well.
Povetkin was careful to pace himself I think, he knew that the fight could go the distance, which it did and if Donald was planning on Alexander punching himself out, he was mistaken.

No, there was no knockdowns, let alone ko, and the only round where I think Povetkin had Donald on some pretty shaky ground was round 8...and Donald was too crafty to let Povetkin capitalize.

To say that Povetkin won every round is not a stretch at all. Donald did not look all that different then he did vs. Valuev...and Povetkin did so much better than Nicolay did, for what thats worth.

Has this been posted online yet anywhere?

[Flurry]

Good win for Povetkin, he´s matured, first time he fought a 10 rounder, still kept the pace up for the entire route. Liked his combos, especially the short overhand right over Donlads lead hand. He couldnt drop him but then only Klitschko has accomplished this feat to date. He´ll always be more of a technically gifted work horse, doubt he´ll develop into a full bloomed puncher, but he wont need to, if he can keep up the pace, the workrate and the versatility

Yep! Very good victory for Povetkin against a fighter who is not only tough and durable ,but who can make you look bad in a ring as well.
I scored all rounds in favour of Povetkin-to be fair the first round could have gone either way.I am totally confident that Povetkin could take on most top 15 fighters right now.However,he still needs more time to be able to compete with Wlad and Chagaev IMO.
I was very glad to see him go the full distance of 10 rounds against Donald.His stamina had been a big question mark.Well,not any more.
He seems to be the complete package.
I for my part would like him see against 1 or 2 good journeymen like Sherman Williams,or.................hehe! Timo Hoffman before he takes on the upper echelon of the top heavies.

[Flurry]

He´d demolish Hoffmann imo.

A good fight would be against Dimitrenko, I see him closing the gap and get under Dimis jab quickly, his right hook would be a good weapon against Dimitrenko, whos very upright and has a problem when he gets jumped on and forced to move backwards quickly

You are right,merry! Dimitrenko would be a very decent opponent for Povetkin,and so would be someone like Samil Sam or Oliver McCall at this point of Povetkin ' s career.
The winner of Sprott vs Skeleton would be a good choise for Povetkin ,too.

Yep! Sauerland stated in the interview after Povetkin's encounter with Donald that Povetkin's next fight will probably be in the USA.
Good news for our American fellow posters and friends here on esb!
I very much hope that some of them are able to attend that fight event over there!

[Langford]

if his next fight is in USA (October sounds about right...three months) I would expect him to take a step back in his next fight...especially if its going to be shown on TV. Make him look good, and if it is a non-American, it might create more of an atmosphere where people feel less threatened and cheer him on more. So maybe a European or African heavyweight. But, this is Povetkin so all those little gimmicks tend to fly out of the window.

[Alcaldemb]

Lyakhovich would be a good opponent. He has name recognition and is ranked, but I think he is flawed. I think Sasha brutalizes and stops him.

[Mendoza]

Povetkin will make a good heavyweight champion.



Aye. It is rare for one so skilled to fight as tough as Povetkin does. Usually the skilled fighters don't risk contact. Usually the tough fighters aren’t the most skilled and have to risk contract. Povetkin is both skilled and tough. He forces his man to endure exchanges where Povetkin’s natural hand speed enables him to land hard shots to the head and body. Povektin oozes confidence. He will be the next champion, and by the looks of it a very good one at that.
