Why is Povetkins trainer calling him "Sascha"?
I thought Sascha was Dimitrenko?

Sascha is to Alexander in Russia like Bobby is to Robert in the US.

Wow, I dont think Povetkin could have showed any less enthusiasm when they announced the decision.

Estrada had a lot of opportunities to get something done, but I got say I think it's his fitness that's holding him back. There were many exchanges that Povetkin would catch Estrada, but Estrada would counter him well, with only one punch and stop though. As off balance Povetkin was at the end of most of his combos, Estrada probably could have at least got a flash knockdown.

Missed this.Never impressed with Estrada.Seems to just go through the motions.

It is too bad that Estrada has to be so fat and feather fisted. Hes got good skills, but a greater appetite.

Well you did in fact just miss Estrada going through the motions. Most of the early rounds were close at least.

I think Povetkin is better then what was shown tonight.

I def. think the lay off had something to do with his showing.
His usual combos weren't there, wait let me say that again.

His combos were there but not as often as they usually are.
They were apart.
He wasn't as loose as he usually is at times he showed it but then would stop.

The important thing is he closed strong and decisively.
