Povetkin will not stop a 240ish Peter. It's a dangerous fight for him. Povetkin fights inside and isn't very hard to hit. Peter will test that chin.

Perhaps...not sure where the chin questions are coming from. None of what I've seen has indicated there might be cracks. Certainly if they are there a lighter Peter could take their measure.

very much looking forward to seeing this fight. IMO it ll tell us a lot about Povetkin. He surely is the faster and more versatile boxer of the two and should win the rounds while still on his feet, he has to avoid letting the man inside obviously, so we ll be able to see what Povetkins skills moving backwards will be like. And likely we ll be able to assess his taking abilities as well.
Good match up

Teddy Atlas announced his being the trainer for Povetkin tonight on ESPN, I hope he does not destroy Povetkin like he did so many others, such as Michael Grant.

Peter would need a baseball bat to beat Povetkin.
Even then..... the outcome isn't certain Beating a 39 year old, glass jawed Maskaev, a gift over a fat, old James Toney and a few bums is all he has..... bar putting Wlad down three times and still losing. Vitali totally owned the guy, Chambers did an excellent job on him as well. Povetkin KO11 ![]() [I assume it's over 12] |

Bad fight for Povetkin? i don't think so! this is a bad fight for Peter. Povetkin will completely outbox Peter and probably win every round of a 12 rounder unless Peter gets him with a vicious left hook.
Bad choice of opponent by Peters manager. He's too slow and too heavy. Povetkin by UD. It will be very interesting to see Povetkin with Atlas as his new trainer! |

Povetkin should have no problems whatsoever with this plodder. Povetkin was a great, great amateur lest we forget, he has more in his locker than the inside fighting/combination puncher we've seen for the majority of his pro career.
I think we'll see a tactical fight from Povetkin, he'll show his speed and skills on the outside, box and move, just beat Peter up the easiest way to beat him. |

It's strange to me that people could view this as possibly being close. |
