Awful fight for him to take though, basically beating up a pensioner.
I didn't think eh struggled that much with Brian Nielson or Frans Botha. Did he ?

I honestly think Holyfield will put up a pretty good fight against Povetkin. Povetkin really isn't that good.

He'll almost certainly still beat a near 50 Holyfield, but maybe not. Holyfield has a small chance I think.
I think knocking out Botha and Neilson were two decent wins for Evander. He showed punch power, combinations and was still bouncing on his toes at the end. The Sherman Williams fight as over before it started due to to Shermans headbutts but it did show that Evander can still take flush shots. Before that Evander outboxed the heavyweight champion and was robbed of the decision so he has certainly kept himself in the picture.

Povetkin cant run like Ibragimov and Donald did. He will come to fight which is what Evander wants. If he cant KO an invincible looking Tyson then it wont be as big of a shock to see him beat some fat Russian IMO.
