Alexander Povetkin vs. Manuel Charr

[Freedom]

Now that was a good, entertaining heavyweight fight.

Heavyweight contenders should fight other HW contenders more often.

Impressive, I didn't think Povetkin would have it in him to stop Charr, I hoped he would turn it on and give a good performance maybe with some knockdowns but good on Povetkin for closing the deal. He's probably thinking to himself "Shit, I should have fought like that before".


Charr may have been a bit over weight, not too much but a touch. He's still a decent(ish) fighter and will have more chances to earn a shot in the future.


What is next for Povetkin? Stiverne, Wilder, Arreola

Vitali's resume looks even worse now. Charr got knocked out by Povetkin.

By your logic, Wladimir's resume just got better.

Wlad's leftovers keep beating Vitali's leftovers.

Haye beat Chisora

Thompson beat Solis

And now, Povetkin beats Charr.

How is Vitali's resume affected by this? Vitali cut the shit out of Charr which stopped the fight in the 4th round....it's not like Vitali was in any danger.

Povetkin has done pretty good in the past, he beat byrd when he was still allright and gave eddie chambers his first defeat before povetkin had 15 fights.. I think they moved him into the number 1 spot too soon and made him look stupid by dodging the wladimir fight for so long but povetkin has had some good wins and performances over his career, his fight v huck was probably his worst though when he looked exhausted halfway through the fight, not sure what was going on there(I had him winning that by 1 round).. He does seem to be pretty easy to hit with the jab though, I was surprised wladimir didnt pick him off more than he did..

I dont know why most fans dont rate povetkin highly he has a good career and a very good amateur career, It could be argued that he is wlads best victory



I didnt think he'd have the power to ko charr but just shows what I know.. good comeback victory, charr had loads of weird wbc belts so now povetkin should be in their top ten and on his way to an eliminator fight... I think it will be v haye, there was talk of haye v povetkin for the wba crap belt a couple of years ago so that could be rekindled..
