Topic: [Boxing]: Whyte vs Povetkin II on Jan 30, 2021 (Read 2678 times)
Locking this thread now, thanks and congrats to those who won!!!
Just like Joshua, he also loss once but reclaim his belt easily, some thing happen with this fight and it was an easy fight by Whyte. I also thought Povetkin would give a good fight but it did not happen, maybe he wasn't condition properly for the fight because he was infected with covid-19 although have recovered.
I did not remember about the covid situation of Alexander Povetkin and if that is the case it is possible that he might not have recovered properly as the affects could last for months and it will affect your fighting condition but still i believe that Dillian Whyte could have won either way and he lost the first fight because of a fluke punch and i was expecting him to win, may be they will go for the third fight at a later time.Very possible that Povetkin still have some medical issue after that covid infection. But with a healthy mindsets and got a good training for his physical condition, overcoming this virus is very possible, athletes do some edge from a regular people as their body conditions are far better and they can adopt and overcome once they'll use to work on it,.
In terms of this fight, both sides are really deserving hoping to see more entertaining actions from both fighters.

The fight was very spectacular. Of course it's a pity that "Russian Vityaz" was able to stand only 4 rounds and was defeated by knockout. Dillian Whyte deserves respect not only as a boxer, but also as a human being. It was very pleasant to watch how after the fight he came to Povetkin's locker room and congratulated him on the birth of his son.
Honestly, i respected Dillian for doing that and also willing give rematch but I don't expect him to win the Saturday fight due to the silly mistake he made and his unable to hold his position when they first combat. However, I read his eyes are on the world title fight. Seriously? Cause I once thought his career his over.Having said that, I don't think the Covid19 issue was the reason why the rematch was an easy win for Whyte because the media talked about how incredible his body was transformed before the Saturday fight and Povetkin claimed he good to fight.

Although experts do not see a third match to happen, still Whyte wants one and offered it to Povetkin, he wants the third match while waiting for a shot of the titleDillian Whyte calls out Alexander Povetkin for a THIRD fight after devastating KO victory with Brit
I don't think it's necessary and the boxing world has no interest in it, it will be better if he fights Usyk or Wilder, these two fighters can give him a better fight.
Weird though, if he is calling Povetkin for a third fight. The only reason that it make sense for him is that he will have to sit and out and wait for the Fury-Joshua winner and it's a two fight deal so forget about it right now.
He should chase Wilder wherein Deontay is vulnerable, his been calling him for years, now is the perfect timing for the two to face each other, this year is possible.
A third fight with Povetkin is a big joke, we all knew that Alex's win on the first fight is a fluke. Besides, members of team Povetkin will persuade him to retire as he is already old and going for another fight might cause him harm.
Whyte is not on Joshua's level as of now and the best move for him is to prepare for the right time and while waiting for that, Wilder might be a good stepping stone and if successful then a rematch with Joshua is probable whatever the outcome of the latter's fight with Fury.

I guess this would give Wilder an opportunity to start winning again, I hope he is okay now and will start his medication as he looks like he was brutally affected mentally and emotionally on his lose against Fury. Whyte vs Wilder should attract boxing fans, and if this happen, I would put my bet on Wilder, that's certainly 100%.
Would love to see two punchers facing each other. And they are two loud mouth as well, so it's going to be fun and exciting pre-fight with media coverage.
Yeah and I agree that a third fight doesn't make any sense as there will be no interest and hype as we have seen the Povetkin is no match for Dillian, Wilder vs Whyte should happen.

Yeah, his age really show in this fight, he is already in his 40's and with the effect of covid-19, it seems it will take some time for him to bounce back and recover.
There was a lot of speculation that Povetkin will have a good showing here, but Whyte really come prepared as he is more focus and really very careful not to get hit this time. It was a calculated risk, and then he caught Povetkin and it's over just like that.
It's the end of the road for Povetkin while, while Whyte's journey continues, there is no call for a third match it's obvious Whyte dominated the first two fights, this second fight is just a continuation of the first fight where Whyte dominate, only that deadly hook ruins everything for Whyte, his option now is open.
Probably there's one more fight left in Povetkin, but if ever he decided to quit boxing for good, then that's his decision. I agree that there should be no trilogy, it was not even close and we really know that Whyte will dominate again if ever there is a third fight.
There are a lot of option for Whyte, maybe Ortiz, Ruiz Jr, Hunter, Parker or Usyk.
Retirement is the best option I think , he is already 41 years old, it's already a big achievement for him to still fight at his age but as they say, he is not getting any younger therefore give this opportunity to the younger generation and he should enjoy his retirement as he has been a sensational fighter once in his life.
36 wins in his career, that's good enough - https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/318081

As I have previously commented on the subject about the Covid-19 effect, we are not sure, but this time it was evident that Povetkin was negatively affected.
If my memory serves me right, the last high profile fight we have seen with one boxer infected by the virus, recovered and push the fight is Miguel Berchelt. He also lost in this fight and something is odd with him that night as was really off, below average punches and then the eventual knock out from Oscar Valdez.

Povetkin might retire soon, he looks so old in this fight and it seems like he easily get tired.
Well, the favorite to win was Whyte so its expected but probably the virus still affected him especially his stamina in the fight.
I thought Povetkin would at least give a good fight, but it turns out the first fight was way better than this fight.

@bisdak40, if you bet both on 1-3 and 4-6 KO win, you can make easy profit since the KO happened before round 7.
I didn't realized that though, anyways, congrats to whoever lucky bettors here that predicted on that specific bet, it should give them a nice day.

Yup, ^^ is my bet ticket and unfortunately i lost. Got too greedy upon seeing the x8 odds
.I'm curious, does anyone here still remember what's the betting odds for 4-6 KO wins by Whyte ?
Below was Baofeng's post two days ago, if i'm not wrong.

Unfortunately Whyte KO'd Povetkin in round 4, so you lose that bet if you bet on that.
