And would be 5 separate 'stacked' Sky cards and Hearn PPV transmissions. allegedly is the best value feasible for boxing. Hopefully it will kill off sky sports boxing

I am interested in this main event. Can't remember Povetkin versus a tall dude like Wach; perfect practice for facing Wilder, imo (should Wilder's brainstrust ever grow some bollocks, that is).

good point (sadly)

I don't approve of stupid video game bollocks, but William Ernest Henley quotes during a fighter's pre-fight intro?

Yes please (you fvcking peasant, Rawling: s'not fvcking Tolstoy. Sigh).

Just tuned in seen the results will Bellew be calling out Afolabi now then ?

Did I hear that right? Wach is nineteen stone????

Also, well impressed with Jay Nady's command of both Russian & Polish.

Not.

Polish anthem is forgettable. Russian anthem is rousing. The kind of thing that is played before sending young men to their death :(

Atmosphere is class at these Russian shows

The double-jab: the lost key to short walk-in heavies beating behemoths.

Decent fight ,

Barrie Jones is the best commentator in boxing. John Rawling has a good speaking voice but does talk a lot of tosh

"I'm from Cardiff -- this is Welsh I'm speaking now!"

Is it me, or is Povetkin blowing a bit? He's doing very well, but I wonder how long he can keep it up against such a monster (lucky for him, Wach is too inept to lean all over the Russian; he lacks the modern heavyweight's best weapon, the patented Klitschko hug & lean-on).

EDIT; spelling.

'I've taken loads of people outside and beat them on points'.

Bazza's on a roll.

Forget I said that. Povetkin beat the shite outta him that round. Lovely body-work & the overhand right lands with thudding regularity. Povetkin got his second wind there.

So do we think Povetkin smashes wilder ?

Great card. What was the result ?

Bocksnation absolutely pisses over Sky. Praise be to Wazza.

Povetkin won in the 12th round ref stopped it due to a bad cut under Wachs left eye.

Not seen the other fights yet. Afolabi won via stoppage as the away fighter

Was really hoping wach was going to be a Joshua opponent this year. Man has a chin on him. Povetkin cleans out Wilder I think.

great card really enjoyed that

What a great card, if only because of those two early sensational upsets. The shock on the Russians face was a sight to behold, it's not often they see their local heroes upset like that.
The Durodola fight was terrific, he was almost taken out in the first round, but the Russian was waaaay too confident and took one hell of a beating, the always useless Jay Nady almost got the Russian boy killed, such was his fear of stopping the local favourite, who ironically showed a great chin....and an amazing ( if unfortunate ) ability to take punches without going down.

And Povetkin has really come on leaps and bounds since they started his steroids program, he looks a completely different fighter. He can really punch these days too.
