Alexander Povetkin vs. Carlos Takam

Good shot from Povi ....that's a quality win for him right there as Takam is no slouch. Hopefully, HOPEFULLY we see Povetkin-Jennings as I think that would be a brilliant stylistic matchup.

read the rbr elsewhere and sounds like it was a hell of a fight. I was hoping it wouldnt start till 4 pm or so, that way I could dip out of work early and catch it, but started at like 2 or something here, will have to find a copy online. I'd still like to see povetkin get another go at wladdy with a ref that doesn't allow all the hugging. Wlad still beats him but I think it would make for a fun fight and povetkin is literally the only guy that kept trying and didn't just taste the power once and go into a shell.

Povetkin can't win against Wlad like that... jmo...

If anyone cares the full fight is on you tube, good fun fight with a very nice finish. I didnt score the fight but feel like povetkin was up, which on the rbr seemingly most everyone had takam up slightly...i think povetkin beats wilder/stiverne

Thanks for the info, at work and can't see a thing. Sounds like one def to check out.

povetkin wilder would be interesting, wilder is taller and povetkin does seem to be able to be hit pretty easily sometimes, if wilder really is as powerful as he looks so far he could ko povetkin early i think.. Povetkin is very good though(in my opinion) and will be hard for anyone to beat.

I'd also like to see povetkin v wladimir again but with a much stricter ref, I think povetkin made wladimir very uncomfortable.

I hope povetkin keeps up with fighting these non crap contenders although I am guessing he will go for a rematach with chagaev now that ortiz is out. I'd like to see a huck povetkin rematch too, that was a fun fight

That was a fun fight, Povetkin might well be the 2nd best HW in the world still imo. It's a shame that Wlad got away with the crap he did in their fight, I'd still be interested to see what a boxing match between the two of them would have looked like.

Would be nice to see anyone moving towards a shot at Wlad fight Povetkin first though in any case. Wilder/Stiverne winner, Jennings, Fury, etc. I wonder if Povetkin would present enough of a payday for them to risk it though. Maybe if some Russian magnate bought the rights again

[La Cucaracha]

Great win for Povetkin competitive fight until that brilliant left hook ended things

Just shows you how good Wlad is. Povetkin is the second best heavyweight.
