Told you lads Povetkin looks out of it.

Povetkin just wants a refill

Samie · « **Reply #65922 on:** March 27, 2021, 11:11:24 pm »

I knew it as soon as he started his ring walk. The fucker was dosed up on something.

Great finish.

He looked really good tonight Whyte.

Whatever you say about Whyte he is exciting to watch.

Povetkin is always dangerous until its over but he needs to retire now.

did someone spark him out before his ring walk even took place?

Samie · « **Reply #65927 on:** March 27, 2021, 11:12:10 pm »

Whyte is now #1 WBC contender...AGAIN.

Would much rather have Whyte up there in the mix than Povetkin at this stage.

Class by Whyte after that.

Interesting one.

Swear Sacha has been at a little beach bar all day there, spent the whole fight off balance!

What next for Dilian? Wilder?

Really? I thought he was dire. Looked like a fight outside the chippy. Povetkin is completely done. Fabio Wardley might beat him 🤣

He had Covid pretty bad a few months ago didn't he

Povetkin didn't look right at all.

His jab was really snappy, and got some great right hooks in that rocked Povetkin a few times.

Amazing what a good camp does for Whyte, last few fights his conditioning has been awful, but he looked on it tonight.

Boaty McBoatface · « **Reply #65938 on:** March 27, 2021, 11:16:04 pm »

His corner knew what was up when they chucked the towel in that quick.

Maybe some long covid issues or one cycle too many on the Russian PEDs, but either way he's surely done now. Actually no, Eddie will have Wardley fight him in 3 years

Don't be bashing Sergio 🙁 As true as your statement is?

Povetkin looked seriously seriously shot. Wilder Vs Whyte would be interesting but I'd not be as confident of a Whyte victory as before. He's getting brutally sparked again sooner rather than later IMO.

When Povetkin was walking out I thought it was just that typical stoic Russian stance but yeah he was out of it.

Hard to "grade" him give his opponent was clearly out of sorts.

I don't know mate but it was delayed but a couple of months. And he moved it to Gibraltar that fuckin Eddie Hearn.

Povetkin was on the vodka since breakfast I reckon. Woeful performance.

Hopefully no third fight. No need for it.

Samie · « **Reply #65950 on:** March 27, 2021, 11:22:02 pm »

If Holyfield v Tyson can get their long awaited trilogy, I'm all for Eddie booking Whyte v Povetkin 3.

This. Delighted for him. He'll be stuck in limbo for ages waiting for Joshua and Fury to play out but he's definitely next in line.

He's been the WBC #1 contender since 2017 before his loss to Povetkin and now he's back to #1 contender.

Alf · « **Reply #65957 on:** March 28, 2021, 12:29:40 am »

Job done by Dillian Whyte, he won all 4 rounds tonight. Not that there was any chance of it going to the scorecard.

I know, but in my eyes and probably the public's eye he's definitely next in line for a title shot. He's ahead of Wilder for example in the line. He wasn't in that position in 2017 and he wasn't after the loss in August either so fair fucks to him in my opinion. We also both know rankings mean fuck all really.

He's obviously not the most technically gifted boxer, but he gets in there and gives it a go, anything can happen in his fights and he's good to have up there.

He's also a young lad who had a child at 12 or 13, was in with the wrong crowd when he was younger and had anger issues, made his way out of that and is an absolute success story no matter what happens from here.

Sorry this post isn't aimed at you in particular Samie. Just a more general view of the fella from my perspective.
