War the boz!!!! (Povetkin - Boswell/Helenius - Chisora)

[Rantcatrat]

I was really rooting for the Boz here, but he was brutally knocked out by the better man last Saturday. Povetkin looked better than he has in some while.

...and after the fight he said "I'd like to fight..........................Tyson Fury"

Fight Wladimir God damnit!!!


As for The Helenius-Chisora fight, I'll have to look it up and watch it. I saw with my own eyes that Helenius had some pop (though it didn't look shocking or anything) but for him to struggle so mightily with Del Boy just goes to show you the division lacks consistency. I never thought of Helenius as a true threat to the Klitschko's, but it would be nice if someone actually gave them a challenge....the last dude to challenge Vitali was Sanders and the last guy to put up any fight vs Wlad was Thompson (not that he won rounds or anything)

Yes, time catches up with all of us, you are correct.

Povetkin fighting a taller man in Fury makes sense in a way if he is preparing to fight Klitschko. There was also rumor of Povetkin and Huck in talks for a fight.

Guys like Povetkin, Chisora, etc are more apt to have back and forth battles than are the Klitschko's. If the right matches can be made heavyweight boxing can be very exciting. Fighters like Bermane Stiverne, Tomaz Adamek, Cris Arreola, and so on have to keep in top physical condition and they can have some very fun fights for the fans. I saw a tiny clip of Helenius vs Chisora, the head movement and footwork was very good from Del Boy and vs a guy who throws his punches slowly it was very effective he had Helenius on the backfoot the entire round and that's what needs to be done.

There's plenty of room in the heavyweight division for CONSISTENT fighters....poor Boswell, only his 2nd pro loss and he may never get a title shot now, though he could easily sneak back into the top 10.

Poor Boswell. It may very well have been his last chance. I didn't know that Boswell had been a sparring partner for Povetkin in the past. Povetkin looked good. I like him over the rest of opposition at heavyweight right now, I believe.

In his post-fight interview Teddy Atlas said that Povetkin needs another two or three fights before Klitschko.

Povetkin will never be ready for a Klits, he is trying to cash in as many fights as he can before he loses to them. At least Haye did not delay the inevitable.
