How is Povetkin's win a "shock" knockout defeat for Whyte? Povetkin is more skilled, hits hard and still has all of his mobility. We saw just how limited Whyte really is, all bluster and blabber aside.
The reality is there is a difference between fighters with good amateur- and particularly Olympic- pedigree and borderline club fighters. Like how we saw with Dubois v Joyce. In MOST circumstances the better trained, conditioned and skilled fighter on paper wins.
