Povetkin vs Estrada Official
Eric Estrada, the guy from CHiPs? :o

Can't see Estrada doing anything better than Chambers, so it should be an easy night for Povetkin. Good to see him back in the mix though, wasn't he injured recently?

Wow, I dont think Povetkin could have showed any less enthusiasm when they announced the decision.
Estrada had a lot of opportunities to get something done, but I got say I think it's his fitness that's holding him back. There were many exchanges that Povetkin would catch Estrada, but Estrada would counter him well, with only one punch and stop though. As off balance Povetkin was at the end of most of his combos, Estrada probably could have at least got a flash knockdown.
Missed this.Never impressed with Estrada.Seems to just go through the motions.
It is too bad that Estrada has to be so fat and feather fisted. Hes got good skills, but a greater appetite.Quote:

I def. think the lay off had something to do with his showing.
His usual combos weren't there, wait let me say that again.
His combos were there but not as often as they usually are.
They were apart.
He wasn't as loose as he usually is at times he showed it but then would stop.
The important thing is he closed strong and decisively.Quote:

Estrada caught him with numerous right hands, one or two of which rattled him, and considering he was pretty much a non-puncher, you've got to think a hard hitter would dispatch Povetkin. Also, if Estrada himself was fitter, and would have been able to up his own workrate later on, I'd also suggest he could have claimed the win, as Povetkin was blowing by the halfway mark. Of course he's got a long layout behind him, but he'll have an awful lot of improving to do to get a world title. Either that, or he can persuade some sanctioning body to put him in with Valuev for a title.
As an aside to that main fight, did anyone see Sosnowski v Pianeta for the EBU-EU title? A minority belt no doubt, and the homeboy Italian/German got away with a very lucky drawn result, only winning four or five of the 12-round distance at most. Sosnowski worked hard, but again lacked power, but Pianeta was the typical heavyweight these days unfortunately, strong but lazy.
Povetkin is a joke! This was the third time I've seen him and I'm far from impressed. Like Buncey said he should find the twig he tripped over and kiss it because it saved him a beating off Wlad.
