4th round: Unbelievable fast paced fight (author refers to featherweight for the first seconds).
Donald is clinching, Povetkin hitting him on the inside. Povetkin is starting to land combos but gets hit by a right hook 20 sec. before the bell. Povetkin still more active.

39-37 Povetkin

[o_money]

the guy on the european forum has it 5-0 povetkin

thanks for the updates chief

[Tom_Tocca]

5th round: fight slows down, not that many punches landing and Povetkin also starts to clinch. Still Sasha has the more effective punches landed. Donald tries to flurry and as a curiousity the timekeeper let it go on till the 4 min mark. LOL

49-46 Povetkin

[Tom_Tocca]

6th round: both fighters watching each other. Right hook by Povetkin but Donald not that impressed. Povetkin's connection percentage goes down but Donald is hitting nothin but air. Big haymaker by Donald. Both clinching...

59-55 Povetkin

[Asterion]

Is this a 10 or 12 rounder?

[Tom_Tocca]

10 rounder

[Tom_Tocca]

7th round: left-right hook combo to the head of Donald. Povetkin follows up with another 20 somewhat hooks connecting, Donald using alibi-jabs. Big round for the Russian.

69-64 Povetkin

[Tom_Tocca]

8th round: Both fighters wrestle a bit, Donalds guard a lil bit too low - eating Povetkin's jab. Povetkin punches in bunches for the last minute - the people in attendance go frenzy.

79-73 Povetkin

[Butch Coolidge]

Povetkin flurrying at the end of a round shows he already has the mind of a seasoned veteran.

[Asterion]

Looks like Sasha is winning this without much difficulties, good for him. Now he'll be ranked in the WBC Top10 and maybe also in other ABC orgs. He'll be a beltholder in 2008.

There can be only one.

[Tom_Tocca]

9th round: Povetkin failing to hit with accuracy, tries the right hook time and time again. Donald with some unimpressive "hits". But still more punches thrown and connected by Povetkin.

89-82 Povetkin

[Asterion]

Wow, Vitali's still the only one to stop Donald.

[Tom_Tocca]

btw, Povetkin's defence seems to be improved.

[ThePlugInBabies]

hopefully on youtube by tonight.

[Tom_Tocca]

The author didn't write much about the last round, just that Alex being better than Larry.

99-91 Povetkin - AND still...on his way to a world title shot - Alexander "The Great" Povetkin!

[Tom_Tocca]

3 x 100-91 according to my German source...

[Asterion]

Great news, Tom, thanks. This was today's most important fight imo, and Povetkin is now in my Top15 Hws.

[LennoxGOAT]

:yep :yep :yep

But he still won't get credit....

[KillerInstinct]

Sounds like Povetkin did very good against Larry Donald, who could even give the champs some problems. I hope this fight gets posted on the net, haven't see a Povetkin fight since Ahunaya.

[MrSmall]

Povetkin is gangster.

[Alcaldemb]

Go Sasha!!!!!!

[Chileno606]

Sounds like Povetkin doesnt have much power, and with his preassure style, hes gonna run into a big puncher thats gonna put his lights out.

Why do you suspect his punching power - Donald was stopped only once - by Vitali Klitschko...

[Alcaldemb]

Donald has not been stopped by Bowe, Johnson or Valuev, only Vitali was able to stop him and that was n the 11th round of their fight. The man has a seriously solid chin.

[MrSmall]

He was reckoned to be one of the most durable fighters in the world at the time of his fight vs Vitali.

[Alcaldemb]

I think those of us predicting a Povetkin stoppage win weren't giving Larry, who is a savvy vet with a solid chin, enough credit. If he wanted to just survive he would have and he did.

[emanuel_augustus]

Good win for Povetkin. Ok, so who's next and when? He's being moved along very smartly. At this point I might take a lateral step and take on a few more fringe guys before stepping up to a legit top 10 guy. He's probably ready for a guy like Rahman at this point, but how about someone like Tony Thompson this fall?

[DamonD]

Good win for Povetkin.

Probably, he would retire Rahman. He should fight Virchis.

[Bigcat]

This in my eyes is a very impressive win. Larry has been a threat to the fringe of the World scene.. taking Valuev and Bowe to the wire, and beating a still active Holyfield.. Larry lost very convincingly tonight.. Alex is a dangerous boxer puncher who uses combination punching to break his opponents down.. He is a very good promising champion in the making.

[Daruf]

Damn because he didnt stop Donald but just whooped him very convincingly he lacks power ? how ignorant can somebody be.....

[Chileno606]

I've never had the chance to watch Povetkin fight, Ive known of him for a long time and his amateur experience got me thinking hes gonna be great, but i havent seen em yet ... I keep reading how hes a combination boxer puncher... I hope hes intelligent with that, cuz combinations often leave a guy wide open for a counter. are there any youtube videos of him??????

[Butch Coolidge]

I didn't think Povetkin would stop Donald. Donald is one of those guys who lands on his feet every time--except for when he fought KlitschKO.

[RUSKULL]

So far so good for Povetkin. He seems to be a fairly exciting, busy fighter. :good

You mean the bigger Klitschko fella, the one that Drexel calls nothing special??????
