Round-by-Round: Dillian Whyte vs. Alexander Povetkin - 22 August 2020

[TheLeprechaun]

Babic is garbage.

[skanksta]

Clay is soft-spoken and respectful, Kongo all ghetto "he won't last 8 fam".

Scoring needed most likely...

[Ruthless-RKO]

[watsupdoc87]

Think clay wins this

[Ruthless-RKO]

[gregregegg]

Babic is fun, but highlights the need for a division between cruiser and heavyweight. Bruiserweight, perhaps?

How did Winters compete at heavyweight against Joseph Parker? Bum matchmaking.

I think he actualy highlights why 'bruiserweight' wont work. He could easy make cruiser but chooses not to cause heavyweight is the premium division.

[skanksta]

Kongo looks huuuge @ WW - 6' but not spindly.

Who won that R1 ? 10-10 nothing happened or Kongo 10-9 had the technique ?

[Neil Gee]

Kongo looked in charge in the first for me (assuming Kongo is the tall one)

[margaret thatcher]

If that's what Babic looks at 205, presumably without weight draining, he could well make light heavy

[Neil Gee]

Clay coming into it more in the second, close but thought Kongo edged it again. better textbook boxing... It's like the commentary have mentioned a couple of times Clay has been 10 in his last two and Kongo not been passed 6.

[skanksta]

19-19

[skanksta]

another nightmare to score could be 3-0 either way.
I fancy Clay to win..

[Delta Jay]

Two very good boxers here, fornicating mahoosive welter that Kongo.

Kongo using his height and reach well

[Neil Gee]

Kongo continuing to edge the rounds for me but Clay is putting him under steadily increasing pressure.

[knockout]

You have to wonder if being so big at the weight will catch up with Kongo late if he had a huge weight cut and rehydrate

[Neil Gee]

tell you what Eddie hasn't half fell lucky with the weather for thse outdoor shows. Gotta give Clay at least a share of 4 and he probably nicked it.

[skanksta]

10-8 for Kongo !

I've backed Clay by KO IP - he might have punched himself out...

[skanksta]

Again I disagree with the comms..
I see Clay bringing it and Kongo anxious about doing 10.

With one notable exception, Jim McD’s fighters are always very fit and do a good 12 rounds.

This is a good fight again, love the long left hook counter from Kongo. Just because you don’t land a specific shot early on, doesn’t mean you should stop throwing it

About to eat these words

[skanksta]

It was great last time !

First time ever when I forgot I was watching "women's boxing" and was just watching a really good title fight.

[Neil Gee]

Kongo holding up well in uncharted territory for him, murder to score though

[skanksta]

Impressive from Kongo !
Good finisher - Clay didn't 'just go' there.

[handsofstone]

Good fight that

[Delta Jay]

I like how he got wild at first when he had him hurt, then regrouped and went back to the back foot. After that he picked another good counter then piled it on to find the perfect shot for the stoppage. Clay a tough man.
