Alexander Povetkin vs. Deontay Wilder

[joe strong]

povetkin is a classic inside fighter with little speed and physical disadvantages. He is very skilled but very dependent on his left hook and inside work. If he can be kept at distance he can be beaten.

Povetkin is pretty darn solid! Since the loss to Klitschko he has gotten into much better shape. He laid out Perez, Takam, Charr & beat Wach into submission. That is pretty impressive. He could of taken easier fights to build back up but he didn't. I was most impressed with the Takam knockout because he had a pretty rock solid chin & Sasha KO'd him. I think the biggest thing going against Povetkin is his age.
