Post by EdwardRevolver1993 »

Stylistically, might make for a fun fight.

How do you see it going?

Povetkin at his best counters the predictable combinations from tommy and puts his lights out

Povetkin would counter Tommy from the on set. 9 out of 10 times I would pick Povetkin by late ko or wide decision. The 10th time Morrison wins by KO

Morrison was more diverse, Povetkin's combos are more basic. Morrison also could box better from the distance. Povetkin is more durable. If Morrison boxed carefully and timed combos well, he would win. Povetkin would have more chances of a stoppage win. I think, that Morrison had more overall chances to win.

Povetkin would destroy Morrison, winning by mid-round stoppage at the latest. Tommy simply lacked the durability to hang in there with a strong, durable, hand-banging elite like Povetkin.

I don't believe Tommy could have compensated by using technical skill against Pov, whose moves were that much better.

Povetkin would outbox and outpunch the Duke to either take a decision or stopping him late.
