Summary
Povetkin started the first round slowly but delivered a huge counter right at the end of the stanza. The second round saw Povetkin in a hot pursuit. Sykes was down after a combination not long before the bell rang, but the referee didn’t rule it as a knockdown. In round three Sykes was down twice more (no knockdowns were announced) and seemingly wobbled. The end came at :48 of the fourth round after another of Povetkin’s murderous combo.
