Rahman v Povetkin

[Master]

Rahman must be shot by now, how does he keep getting these chances. He can't win on Saturday?

[El Kabong]

Povetkin should have very little trouble, but once again Hasim Rahman has 1 punch power (that we haven't seen since he beat Kali Meehan). Povetkin should fight Wlad next, he just won't ever step up....it's pathetic

True, even Huck wants to fight Wlad and he lost to Povetkin.

I was thinking the other day about where Rahman stands in list of most title shots, it must be an insane amount.

Does he still have one punch KO power Lyle? I wouldn't have thought so - hasn't been seen for a long time.

No trouble at all. Povetkin will never fight Wlad I don't think. The gravy train stops there and he is happy relaxing on it.

Perhaps enough to hurt Povetkin who was shaken by Eddie Chambers....you never know mate

to be fair, it shouldn't even be called a title shot. Wlad is the real WBA champ, while Povetkin is the number 2 guy, holding a now, meaningless title

Well...that's what they say happened at least

The fact Rahman is a mandatory has me thinking the NFL replacement refs are calling the shots. He must be the size of a large sea vessel by now and about half as fast as one. Teddys ex should keep it smart and box The Rock into staying on his stool without much problem.

Povetkin gets him outta there in about 6-7 rounds.

This is true.

[IamInuit]

I cant recall a hev fighter/contender that has ducked the division as much as he has over the course of history. I hope Rahman somehow pulls the rabbit out of the hat.

Any word on Rahman's weight

His last fight was well over a year ago and he came in at a career high 284.

Fightnews has an article claiming he's in good shape. If Rahman comes in 235-240 he'll be in fine shape. Hasim just has to get the jab working and let the right go when there's an opening. Povetkin should stick & move and try to be athletic as possible.
