Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Gets Off The Floor, Brutally Blasts Dillian Whyte in Five

Whyte is unstable emotionally. It’s often a side effect of manic doping. Eddie better keep him under watch the next 48 hours. Guy was humiliated in 24 time zones. I’d be depressed too

Was pretty well convinced that Povetkin was through thanks to round 4, was hoping for a hail mary shot to win but I'd basically given up hope on it. And then he goes and actually does it, the absolute madman. Most satisfying KO so far this year. I don't foresee Povetkin troubling Fury or anything like that, and honestly the fact that he was losing decisively up until that point is maybe a sign that he should still be considering retirement anyway, but he showed that he still has huge power and the IQ to set up his shots, so he'll continue to be an extreme danger to anyone whose chin he can reach. I'm glad for him, if this is his last hurrah he couldn't have asked for it any better. Likewise, it couldn't have happened to someone much more deserving. I respect Whyte's run of great results but I've never liked him and I find him extremely annoying. Maybe this'll shut him up but I won't hold my breath.

Those KDs were not bad... he missed them, but was not troubled by them (heard in the corner between rounds). And going into the 5th, I did have him either even or up 3 to 1. He was not behind and it was a matter of time until he figured him out.

And so many ***head ultranationalist goosestepping clowns on here were claiming whyte was better than Wilder....

Only the clowns that don't actually watch boxing. Anyone with a brain knows Wilder stops Whyte at some point.

Bad knock out that, you have to wonder? Whether Whyte will be the same fighter going forward.

That was a fully fledged 'black-out' Whyte was sparked out violently.

Wilder would of put Whyte and Vetkin to sleep. Losing to Fury ain't nothing to losing to Ruiz and Pedvetkin.

I think both are capable of catching Wilder and knocking HIM out too with his wild windmill shots....Povetkin too smart for that ****.

I'm kinda shocked, Whyte had it in the bag but than boom

[Tyistall]

Lol what happened Crystall? Your boy had Fury on the mind and get destroyed. No more crying out of you.

Hey diccckhead, you back again? Maybe you are truly a retarrd so I will say it again. Whyte is not my boy. I just hated to see fraud Fury try and duck him. Got it battyboy??

[Combat Talk Radio]

Does anyone have the highlight?

[Rockybigblower]

Why would you have a rematch clause for non title fight... pathetic

So that in the event of Povetkin winning it would block him from calling for his mando. Road is open now for Fury/AJ should Fury beat Wilder again. Eddie will be jizzing so let's hope Wilder comes back and gives him a soft on.

That knockout was brutal, and after the fight Povetkin's reaction was just "business as usual". He is old, but he is skilled and still has enough power and the killer instinct.

The worst part of the fight was the commentary. British commentators are the worst and the most biased that I have ever heard. It was painful to listen to their circlej*rk and praises to Whyte but it was so satisfactory to hear them come with nothing but "I am at a loss for words" after the knockout. They were drooling after the knockdowns, although during the break between rounds 4 and 5 Povetkin told his corner that he was not hurt and you could see that he was ok. Then comes round 5 and BAM!

On a side note, that reporter chick has some fine legs. And that wind blowing was nice, too.
