Did any of that actually land? Weird reddening around the ribs of Povetkin around the back on the right.
 
I think Povetkin could be 60 and I still wouldn't want to be on the end of that left hook.
 
Povetkin looked unsteady for the whole fight. That should be it for him, really.
It was like trying to kill a cobra with a machete, though. You've got every advantage, but one **** up and you're ****ed.
Time for Whyte to take on something massive.

Very controlled performance from Whyte, the influence of Knight was obvious. Fought behind the jab and just brutalised him. The best I’ve ever seen him box.

He’s earned his shot at one of the big 2, shame he’s likely going to have to wait over a year for it.

Whyte v Wilder. <ok>

I don’t think he’s got anything to gain from that fight though (apart from the coin) if he lost it he’d be back amongst the chasing pack. I doubt Wilder would want to face him either tbph.

Beating Wilder would be massive for his reputation Stateside. He'd take that in a minute.
Wilder won't touch him with a bargepole, though. Far too risky for virtually no reward.
He'll probably try another rematch with 98-year-old Ortiz, lose six rounds and then knock him out, again.

Given Hearns comments after the fight, developing his reputation in the States is obvs what they’ve got in mind, to build up his value for when he gets his shot at the titles.

I’m not convinced Wilder will come back tbh. Ortiz or someone similar might be a ‘keep in shape’ effort for Whyte, but whoever he faces will be a massive risk for his ultimate ambition, but based on his performance tonight, he’ll be very confident and rightly so.

Bare knuckle fighting is back on in the valleys big money gonna change hands if anyone fancies a blow out.
 
I quite like Whyte as a bloke but I just don't see him getting a result against the big 3.

I think all of them KO him.

He's the best of the rest but deserves a shot at the big time.

Wouldn't know mate. Only been once and was sat on a stationary train two miles from the station when the teams came out.

Oh mate that's a ****ter.

Any ideas why?

Just checked and Oldfield wasn't born in Pompey he just re released the song which is apparently from 1700s.

Well there you go!

Hampshire's finest mate, obviously wanted an easier job with the escort to the ground!
