What do you predict ?

Whyte

Whyte mauls the rusky to a TKO

Whyte of Rivas and Parker bouts will edge it. However, I won't be surprised in a case of Povetkin's win, he has something left in the tank. Whyte must be prepared.

How do you know it’s Ukrainian?

And how do you know it’s reliable?

You're so obnoxious.

I'm going with Povitkin. The man is still dangerous.
I think he can knock out Whyte.
Better be full testing

It's still early days for this poll but interestingly 56% picked Hunter to beat Povetkin

Wank fight.
5 minutes ago it was "Whyte isn't getting his shot"

Bandog · Post by **Bandog** » 28 Jan 2020, 07:30

I think Whyte should win, since Povetkin is the same age as Ortiz, but with less skills and power. Ortiz has showed he is formidable without juice. A juiced up younger Povetkin would beat Whyte handily. Close to a 50/50 fight now, with Whyte the slight favorite. Dull fight probably if both have random testing.

Enlightened-One · Post by **Enlightened-One** » 28 Jan 2020, 09:27

Whyte stops Povetkin during the middle rounds (between the 6th and 9th).

Jeff_lacy_ko · Post by **Jeff_lacy_ko** » 28 Jan 2020, 11:01

Whyte has changed his style. I say decision win for him as povetkin seems to be fighting with a piano on his back lately

I’m not going to try to persuade you to change your opinion about a potential bout between Whyte and Povetkin, but I’m curious to understand the reason why you feel this way?

This is a bout between two top-ten world-rated heavyweights that have only lost to one man, Anthony Joshua, within the last 6½ years, with both men having earned their current lofty rating by having a proven track-record for consistently facing high-calibre opposition.

Solid fight. Should be good action. Povetkin ain't quite what he used to be, and was lucky to get a draw last time out. I'm thinking Whyte either stops him late or wins a fairly lopsided decision.

Should be entertaining.

This is a close fight but.........
We have not seen the last juicing scandal on Whyte
and next time he could be finished. I don't think he
is smart or confident enough to stay away from it.

He's fighting a badly faded fighter. I don't think he'd need to be on anything to get the job done here.

Nondescript · Post by **Nondescript** » 28 Jan 2020, 13:32

I'm gonna pick Whyte but more so because Povetkin is very long in the tooth and is clearly staring to decline now.

I'm not saying he needs to - I'm saying he thinks he needs to,

Is Pov that badly faded? A draw with Hunter is still a pretty decent level tbh.

I thought he lost to Hunter. Wasn't a huge robbery or nothing, but Hunter got the better of it I thought, and I didn't see anything out of Hunter that Whyte couldn't do as good or better. He's got faster hands than Whyte, but Whyte should be able to get the better of Povetkin handily at this point.

margaret thatcher · Post by **margaret thatcher** » 28 Jan 2020, 14:53

They seemed about the same level to me, and I'm not sure that Pov was ever really way better than Hunter. He is on the slide a bit but still a respectable opponent.

No doubt he's still formidable, and a meaningful guy to face and beat. I mean hell he's still only ever lost to Wlad and AJ officially. That's nothing to scoff at.

Would this be topping its own card, or maybe on Usyk-Chis?

Think Whyte stops Pov late but i wouldn't completely write Sasha off...

According to Edie Hearn, this will be two separate events. This fight should happen on April 25, or May 2............
