Wladimir vs Povetkin will be the real "The One"

[ykdadamaja]

Povetkin is going to get beaten just as badly.

even worse cause Wlad will most likely get the stoppage win, and not just settle for the UD

That's hardly fair to say, Wlad makes Mayweather look like Mike Tyson as far as offensive output, he is far more cautious and timid. He stops everyone because he is bigger, hits really hard, and all of his opponents suck. It's not because he pushes for the KO or takes big risks, anything but. If Wlad ever fought anyone as good as Canelo he would lose, never mind settle for a UD.

Yup. We all saw what happens to Wlad when he fights "live" guys- Sanders (when Sanders was priming); Brewster (when Brewster had the punch output of a Middleweight); and Sam Peter (who, even though Wlad beat him both times, had a crazy work rate for a Heavyweight before he got lazier and lazier as the years progressed).

Povetkin is not a high punch output kinda guy. No one in the division, except for Arreola (who really could use some power power and keep up his training regimen in Arizona) AND Bryant Jennings throws the amount of punches in bunches that would cause Wlad problems.

I know we always hear about Deontay Wilder, but sadly we haven't seen much of his boxing skills because he's been sparking everyone. What if Wilder has a weak chin? What if Wilder can't last in a tough 10 rounds? What if he is the type that tires by the 6th and is easy pickings for someone who can throw combinations with effectiveness?

At least we know Arreola and Jennings (especially Jennings, who apparently can fight 20 rounds at the same pace I feel) can last a tough 12 rounder- and in some instances, pick up steam. Wilder hasn't shown us that yet.

So, yes- Wlad by a beatdown on Povetkin. Povetkin may quit on his stool like Ruslan Chagaev did. But by between the 8th and 10th rounds we will be able to see what's up with Povetkin.
