Can Povetkin go the distance?

[Wayne]

No. Povetkin was gassed out on Chambers' pitty-pat punches. He showed a lot of heart but against Klitschko that may get him hurt. I say Wlad by ko in 7.

[Pugilistic]

If he can gain speed of light reflexes and top notch defense he can but if not he is getting stopped.

[El Kabong]

Wlad SHOULD KO him easily, Povetkin much like Berto is untested vs top competition and has only been competitive with much lower competition...he hasn't dazzled by any stretch of the immagination...he beat a very faded Chris Byrd, he hasn't shown big power, he's small, and Eddie Chambers...EDDIE CHAMBERS swole his eye up to the point where I was thinking the fight could have been stopped had Chambers kept punching.


Wlad should demolish him with the jab alone the right cross SHOULD mean lights out for "Sasha"....fighting an orthodox fighter (for a change) should really let Wlad look like his old self....he should come out swinging and go for the KO right away!

If Povetkin get's his rythim going and used the ENTIRE ring I'm certain he can go the distance.

Wlad needs to be smart enough to cut off the ring and over power the smaller Povetkin. But Wlad needs to let his hands go and he needs to establish himself 1st.
Start early and make Povetkin go back.

My prediction a late TKO in favor of Wlad.

Wladimir knocks him out in the middle rounds.
