I can't see Brock or Byrd beating Wlad. I don't see Chambers beating Brock!

So what is the point?

there no point to it to me either. i see byrd beating both povethin and brock. so then what happens bryd wlad III. byrd is one of my favorite fighters and i don't want to see him take another beating.

Another step towards the title by the Olympic Gold medallist Povetkin. I've seen all his fights and he really is fighting top opposition considering his lack of fights.
Povetkin will beat them all.

I agree Povetkin has been matched tough & performed well so far! I also think he gets past Byrd... which IMO may be his toughest opponent to date given Byrds ability. I think they should have just bypassed the 1st round & matched Chambers & Povetkin together which is how I see it ending up. That fight is a toss up at the moment for me. It really depends on how well Chambers performs against Brock.

I've only seen 2 fights of Chambers and he looks good.
I agree that Byrd's style will cause Povetkin problems and it'll be a great learning fight.
Mind I thought Bermane Stiverne was going to go far and he got Ko'd in his last fight according to Boxrec.

It's good to see the better Heavyweights meeting-up.

I think the Stiverne stoppage was a bit controversial if memory serves me right.
If Povetkin can catch Byrd I think he'll take him out!
