I guess it depends on the fight he fights. Sultan was never in any trouble with Wlad, but then he never tried anything offensive against Wlad either, just happy to still be there at the end.

Povetkin looks like he has ambitions and will make Wlad work which should make for an entertaining fight.

He certainly doesn't have the power to hurt Wlad early imo but he could be a factor late if he's still there.

I think a tougher challenge will see Wlad raise his game however and I can see him doing serious damage to Povetkins face with that jab in the second half of the fight.

I've got a feeling Povetkin will give a decent account of himself, and will display a decent chin, but I also feel Wlad will cut him up fairly badly and that the referee might be stopping this one, around the 10th round, waving it off as Povetkin's face gets bloodied up.

It should be a decent matchup at least, Povetkin with back to back wins over Byrd and Chambers has shown he deserves the shot imo. Probably not big enough, and doesn't have the experience to win, but really there is nobody else more deserving of a shot right now so good luck to him.
