Isnt this Hashim Rahman vs Oleg Maskaev all over again?

Povetkin and Whyte been on camera this week ?

I think he can.

This fights kind of gone off the radar with the majority of opinion once again predicting a Whyte victory.

Going by the press conference I'd say that Povetkin looks the more confident one.

I still think the heat will be more on Dillian Whyte in the 'Rumble on the Rock' tomorrow night.

The pressure of expectation is again on Whyte to win as he was due a big money title shot vs wilder etc for years and has a much higher profile than Pov who is right at the tail end of his career and many would say this will be the last hurrah .
I can also see if Whyte stops Pov then this will be blamed on the effects of Covid 19 so he wont get the credit .
Pov didnt get lucky it was one of his trademark shots well practiced and he will be looking for it again , he may be in his 40s but he is dangerous especially when he has the opponent hurt ie David Price and he gave AJ a few wobbles in that fight .
I wouldnt right him off !

no reason cant ko dillian again, i ant a huge whyte fan or puvetkin but it wouldnt surprised me if the russian ko whyte earlier like rd 4

He can and most likely he will. Whyte is the most overrated hw in recent years, together with Lucas Browne.

At some point some people considered him a genuine title contender, a lot of people had him in top 15 (and even top 10) for a long time, he was rated top 15 in the previous forum rankings (maintained by Jezzamundo) as well.

I lost on Whyte the first time but I'm backing him again-by knockout.

Whyte has wins over chisora, parker and rivas. Thats not overrated hes a bottom top 10 guy

Like a lot of hw if hes in shape hes dangerous. If hes obese he can lose

All of these wins are very close/controversial. I don't say that he his complete trash, but he is not (and never was) top 4-5. And will never be.

He’s proved himself many times now, and will prove himself again tomorrow. Whytes a very good heavyweight.

Whyte is a top HW for sure. But Povetkin is better. Actually, was. Anyway, if Whyte wins, he doesn't deserve a shot. Fury-Joshua must be made now, while Usyk-Joyce winner gotta be a contender for the winner of Fury-Joshua. Whyte must fight the likes of Wilder and Ruiz.

Hattons kid fighting a no hoper

He throws a decent hook to the body but thats about it

Campbell Hatton should be progressed slowly.

He lacks pop, he’s clumsy, his defence is poor and he’s very raw.

I get it though, he’s a young kid with a great team behind him, but he is very flawed and needs time to learn his craft.

It would be unfair for me to say I’m unimpressed, but it would be reasonable to say that if his surname wasn’t Hatton, my evaluation would be much more harsh.

Yeah he isnt very good. This guy ruiz tried i will give him that

They need the ref to save the fix here hatton looks tired

Props to that jesus ruiz
Never won a fight but tried his best and took some good shots.

If they progress Hatton’s career very slowly and carefully match him against journeymen, he might eventually be good enough to win an English regional title.

Perhaps the Northern Area titleholder will be his glass ceiling?

I figured ref would jump in to get the kid a stoppage. Props for it being on the level

I dont know... hes not very good. I see no talent honestly. But he was in shape

Good fight
