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.

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

This is true.

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.

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.

I could be wrong Master, but I believe Don King is still Rahman's promoter.

Sauerland plans a "triple attack" on Wladimir Klitschko:

- If Povetkin wins today, according to Sauerland he'll fight Klitschko in early 2013 as Wlad's WBA mandatory.

- If Pulev wins today, he'll be Wlad's IBF mandatory.

- Helenius will be back on November 10 and Sauerland will try to move him up in the WBO rankings toward a mandatory shot.

Povetkin should make short work of Rahman, unless he gets careless and Rahman lands a lucky punch.
