Alexander Povetkin vs. Manuel Charr

[Freedom]

This fight is official for May 30 in Moscow.

What's your prediction?

[Bo-Bo24]

Povetkin within the distance. Charr is garbage in my opinion.

[palmerq]

Povetkin has had questionable stamina in the past, mainly the huck fight but he is very good in my opinion so if he takes it seriously he should win well, don't think he will ko charr though, charr is a big fellow who is usually in pretty good condition and povetkin is not a big puncher..


good comeback fight for povetkin and good fight for charr to see if he has anything on the bigger stage

[Max Power]

Povetkin, probably by KO.

Povetkin beats the eurobum easily... shit fight

I dont know, this one looks like it could be fun, charr tries to win, he isnt great and is pretty hefty and not so mobile but he isnt total crap, he did just beat kevin johnson... which isnt a huge achievment(better than leapai did though :S) Povetkin just looks like he has come from working on a russian farm and has drunk half a bottle of vodka but he's fairly skilled and forgets to move his head so if he is snoozing a bit (maybe from the vodka) then charr can make it a fight.. I still think povetkin wins tohugh...

povetkin v huck wasnt a classic fight skill wise but I thought it was great to watch, this one could be fun too.

Yeah Charr will have his moments, It wont be 1-sided.

dont think povetkin has enough power to do a lot of damage to charr either, povetkin isnt feather fisted at all but he is not a big puncher, he puts them together well though but charr usally weighs in at just over 240 pounds, cant see him stopping him untill the last 3 rounds of the figh if at all


this is for one of the wbc minor belts too... maybe the winner of this will find themselves in the mix for a elimination fight for the real belt next year

[Max Power]

Yeah you might be right, Povetkin does have enough power to eventually stop him but I agree it would not be until the end. Could go UD too though.

It will probably be a rough fight.

[TigerFan]

Povetkin should win by KO...probably in the mid to late rounds.

Does anybody know who's training Povetkin these days? Switching trainers for every fight has really done him a disservice. Especially hooking up with the always toxic Teddy Atlas. Worst move they could've made IMO.

[Max Power]

Anyone but Atlas! LOL

You must be titillating over this matchup Max, after all we do live in the greatest heavyweight era of all time right?

It's a very good era.

Some people are bitter because the heavyweight champion isn't from their country or has a lighter complexion than the boxers they like. When Wlad retires and if Wilder or Jennings become champion, the same people who say this era is bad will be gushing about how great the heavyweight division is.

I've disproved your theory about people not liking the Klits because they're foreign and white countless times.

Provodnikov, Golovkin, and Kovalev are all foreign and white, and people love them. They love them because they're exciting. The Klits aren't exciting, and they fight in a weak division.

[El Kabong]

Some people like the Klitschko's some don't....to each their own. I'm a fan they win by KO all the time, they are great ambassadors of the sport...so some people disapprove of their styles, big whoopty fuck they pack stadiums and make bank each fight regardless of your opinions on them.
