The most interesting parts of a Wlad-Povetkin fight are:
1. Is Wlad going to go for the early KO or is he going to go for punishment
2. Can Povetkin take a punch from Wlad
3. What role will Teddy Atlas play and how will he handle Povetkin getting destroyed
Listen, when Wlad beats Povetkin, I wouldn't get too down on him, I favor him against most heavy's not named Klitschko.

1. Wlad doesn't go for the early KO anymore, he'll stop him late.
2. Povetkin can take a punch from Wlad, but not for a whole fight.
3. Teddy knows he is the underdog here. He's hoping Povetkin makes it the full 12 and takes a couple early rounds. That's the best he can hope for.
