How it goes?

Povetkin wins by knockout

I like Ike in this one. Decision.

granted we only saw him in 2 meaningful fights, but i am really impressed by what ike showed in those. he checked off almost every ability and did so conquering two very different styles. id guess he would beat povetkin at their best, but ike will always be a bit of a mystery

He looked good against Byrd. He fought a great fight against Tua. They both fought a great fight. I had Tua winning that fight. So considering that he's 1-1 in my eyes in his 2 big fights. I'm not as enthralled by him as most tend to be.

His fight with Tua is an astonishing showing of toughness by both guys.

i thought he beat Tua, 2-0 ike baby. showed hell of a chin and stamina and work rate

Pov aint stopping ike. No way

Ike had crazy guy strength and chin. Like mccall i suppose.

Povetkin wins by late stoppage.
