Hasim Rahman vows to KO Povetkin:

(from Boxing News & Results updated 24/7 | Fightnews)

Former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman (50-7-2, 41 KOs) is looking to defy the oddsmakers once again. More than 11 years since he shocked the world by knocking out Lennox Lewis, “The Rock,” about a month shy of his 40th birthday, will challenge current WBA champion Alexander Povetkin (24-0, 16 KOs) on Saturday at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany. It will be the most significant boxing match of the upcoming week.

However, the fight against Povetkin will be Rahman’s first fight since June 2011 and his first fight against a world rated opponent since a 2008 TKO loss to Wladimir Klitschko, prompting many to question his readiness, as well as his WBA mandatory challenger status.

“They’ve been basically writing Hasim off since the start of the promotion,” said Rahman’s promoter Greg Cohen. “Hasim isn’t even on the posters for this event. They’ve been making jokes and having fun. But while they were doing that, Hasim has been getting himself into fantastic shape.”

Rahman is making no secret of his strategy against Povetkin, who is coming off a shaky performance in his last fight against Marco Huck. “I know what I have to do and that is to knock him out. I know that when I’m at my best, no one can take my power and I will knock him or anyone else out, period….no fight at this level is easy, but I know that I am 100 percent prepared and so I am supremely confident. The fight will not go the distance. I will KO Povetkin on September 29.”

So, Pulev versus Ustinov this weekend. I like Pulev in this one. Not that I'm super high on him, however.

Haye should hope Vitali wins the election then either Vitali retires and vacates the title for him to fight or Vitali will spend less time focussing on boxing and Haye can pull off the upset similarly to Bradley against Pacquiao.

Heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek is likely to fight Odlanier Solis in the Dec. 22 main event of NBC Sports Network's Fight Night, should Solis win his Oct. 12 tune-up against Leif Larsen and come through with not cuts or injuries, sources tell The Ring.

The 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist from Cuba fought WBC titleholder Vitali Klitschko last March but was stopped in the first round after suffering tears to his ACL and external meniscus, as well as cartilage damaged to his right knee. Solis (18-1, 12 knockouts) has fought just once since then after rehab and surgery, a 12-round unanimous decision over Konstantin Airich in May of 2012.

Adamek (47-2, 29 KOs) is coming off a fifth round stoppage of Travis Walker earlier this month.

Adamek has big-time balls. Solis is one of the most dangerous heavyweights other than a Klitschko. If Adamek were to beat Solis, then he has wins over Arreola, Chambers, and Solis. No other heavyweight, including David Haye, can lay claim to better victories.
