Wlad..too much class
Povetkin does have the potential to pull off the upset imo, he has decent power, speed and is a technical fighter, but if he gets into calculative, jabbing battle with Wlad, he will fly through the ropes. Povetkin needs to be aggressive from the first bell, cutting the distance using head movement and try to KO Wlad before 5th round, that's his only chance.
Unfortunately, I think this fight will end as every Klitschko fight does - with his opponent blocking punches with his face and eventually getting KO'ed or losing a wide margin decision. Povetkin is probably the last guy in HW who stands a chance of beating Wlad. I'll be cheering for the underdog - Alexandr Povetkin....
...but Klitschko TKO9 most likely
Waldimir will win and he will hopefully finally get his due as far as being recognized as one of the most dominating heavyweight champions ever
True...Wlad is not a true classic boxer yet he will hand Povetkin his first loss ever ( late round stoppage ) simply because Povetkin has never had to withstand the Sledgehammer Punishment from anyone else
WLAD by 12RD Majority Decision Povetkin has avoided him for
almost five years, this match finally happens, arguably the most
recent anticipated heavyweight bout, Povetkin's better than Haye.
Who wins and how?
