I think Whyte has the all the advantage here and I wouldn't be surprise to see a knock out with his left hook. Povetkin is already 40 years old in his twilight of his career. He also doesn't look good at this last fight and I would say that this could be his last hurray.

Thanks for sharing mate, this fight will be on Sunday in our country, so there's something I can bet and watch.

I would like to put this information on how to watch the fight

I think I'm going to avail an IPTV subs again.

Highlights of Povetkin last fight against Hunter:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knu4NfW9uyY

It ended in a draw, but others said that Hunter beat Povetkin here. And Whyte is more powerful than Hunter, so this could really end up in a knock out in favour of Whyte, perhaps a brutal KO.

This might an interesting match.

By the way, is there a side bet? 0.2 is huge for me at the moment. Whyte should be serious to knock Povetkin as soon as possible, age doesn't matter, Povetkin's punch still has the power to knock him off. :D and if Povetkin's wins its probably the Great Last Hurray.

How much for pay per view?

Yes, I think Whyte has more in line, besides the interim belt. If he won then a fight with either Joshua or Fury in the future, big pay check. So needed a signature win, like a knock out to establish himself again.

I wonder though if it will have an impact on him since he change training coach?

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2020/07/dillian-whyte-parts-ways-with-trainer-mark-tibbs/

This remains to be seen, maybe we can see a different version of him or it could back fire.

Boxers are changing coaches to improve his skills I don't there's going to be an impact I will still him beating or even knocking out Povetkin, Povetkin last fight looks like he was off he easily gets caught by those punches by Hunter in his last fight, but this is going to be a good tune up fight for Whyte since he is aiming whoever wins in the fight between Fury and Wilder.

I do agree that boxers are changing coach because they are either learn everything from them and they think that they in order to grow they need to switch, or probably they have a fallen out. And I think the latter is the case here.

My reason is that Whyte dump Tibbs through a lawyer here (https://boxrec.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=240945). Although it was mentioned that the settlement was amicable, there could be a deep reason behind it.

You maybe right but anything can happen in boxing and if Whyte will not be careful or he will not be in his 100% condition then there is always a chance for an upset.

White has almost a perfect record with 27 wins and 1 losses only and with regards to age, he is 8 years younger compare to povetkin but Whyte should be wary that Povetkin
has the advantage in terms of experience as Povetkin has 35 wins with only 2 losses. This fight is gonna be good to watch if they will both do their best.

Looking at the tale of the tape, Whyte has all the advantage on this fight and i don't see him having problem in disposing Povetkin.

Interesting to note that both boxers have a common opponent in Anthony Joshua and they were both KOed  :).

Sharing to you the prediction of one boxing analyst.


Odds on Sportsbet:

Whyte by decision : 2.60

Isn't it interesting?  ;D

@bisdak40 - yes it's interesting to see the odds for Whyte by decision.

But I don't see it going to distance though, Povetkin lacks the stamina to go for full 12 rounds, in my opinion. He is already way past his prime and could get into serious trouble if Dillian could hit that left hook on him early. That's why it's either a knock out or technical knock out.

Yes, both of them face AJ before, but Povetkin has some early success even putting AJ on trouble early by breaking his nose.

I don't think that changing of coach will affect Whyte, and it seems they have settled cordially.

This is also what I read that's why I'm asking if this will affect Whyte negatively as he part ways with his old trainers without saying it to his face personally and during it through his lawyers. If they have settled this, then there's no media attention about it, just saying. Usually boxers separate with their trainers if they don't believed on the trainers ability or have questions their method

Wow! both the interim WBC world heavyweight title and the vacant WBC diamond championship is up for grabs whoever may win this  fight, and they could position themselves in fighting heavyweight divisions biggest names, but regarding Dillian Whyte's young age than Alexander Povetkin and got a slight advantage with the weight and reach but underestimating Povetkin's Experience would surely be lethal if Whyte doesn't come prepared with this, Dillian Whyte got a huge advantage with this fight that is why I think he can win this,

And whoever wins this fight is a mandatory challenger for Tyson Fury and if Tyson Fury Refuses a mandatory defense then Anthony Joshua may be the next opponent for an undisputed title fight.

Watch the full final presser here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APIzqKbP7H4

@YuginKadoya - You are right, the winner will be the mandatory for Fury's belt. But pending his fight with Wilder, so we will see how it goes. But in any case, I wanted to see Joshua vs Whyte II though, there's some kind of animosity between the two.  ;D

Yeah, interesting but still not attractive for me. I'd rather go for under 10.5 with lower odds than to bet for this match to go the distance. Both fighters have the power to knock each other down even given the fact that Sasha is now in his 40. However, and this has to be a big consideration, both fighters had their last winning KO in 2018.

Thanks for your input bro, really appreciate it. However, i think that Sasha is too old for now to deliver a knock-out and he may gassed out in the later rounds so i'm thinking that this could be a one-sided affair and have Whyte winning by Decision. Povetkin would be very careful here in the early rounds to avoid that Whyte left hook. I'm betting here that Povetkin will survive and went to the distance hope i'm right with my prediction.

For those who want to watch this fight, take a look at this link. I am not sure that they will have a live streaming on this Whyte vs Povetkin fight but it's worth a look.

http://nbastreams.xyz/schedules/

If Sasha will gas out then there's a big possibility for Whyte to score a knock-out?

And as others have said, Whyte is very powerful and that left hook could be the knock out punch here. Yes, it could be a one sided fight and could really end in knock out and not needing the judges score card. Unless Dillian become sloppy and confident and make that one mistake that can ruin him in the mid rounds.

I also believe age is not in favor of Sasha but he's not older than Mike Tyson and we can how hard Tyson trained these which also make him be in shape. However, Sasha claimed tomorrow's fight will be a great fight and he said he's well prepared/work hard. Besides, he said every boxing fan will see a great show from him so underestimate Sasha because his age and previous performance don't seem right to me.

Whyte Dillian only got the advantage of height and reach, while Alexander Povetkin got the record's advantage so, Alexander Povetkin is more experienced here.
So the odds kinda favor on Whyte Dillian.
As you also check on stake.com, odds are : Whyte Dillian 1.25 - 3.85 Alexander Povetkin.
I am surprised on the odds for Whyte Dillian, it is also kinda scary to bet on these kind of odds, kinda difficult.

The tormentor of the two boxers have a word and we might consider this seriously. AJ doesn't expect a knock-out so i'll go with that but i'm having Whyte as the victor.


Povetkin maybe a live dog but age is a very important thing to consider in boxing. No matter how you train hard, they always gassed out in the later rounds just like what happen to Manny Pacquiao on that fight with Thurman. Pacman trained very hard for that fight but still he gassed out and i'm expecting Povetkin to be the same with that but i can be wrong.

I don't see this as the biggest fight of the year Whyte has clear advantages on this fight he has power speed and aggressiveness and Povetkin only has experienced to rely on this fight, Povetkin last fight against Hunter is not good he is very slow that was not supposed to be a draw Hunter is winning the fight, although this fight is a good tune up for Whyte for the winner of Fury - Wilder match.

Although many voted for Dillian Whyte to win the match against Alexander Povetkin, I have different predictions.
I'll bet on Povetkin's win, the age difference doesn't matter to me. With older age Povetkin has advantages in terms
of experience. Then regarding Povetkin's last fight against Hunter with a draw result, made Whyte over confidence,
this is what Povetkin will take advantage of. Because over confidence in boxing can be a negative effect, because
alertness will decrease.

If Fury-Wilder fight push through this year, then obviously, it will be the biggest fight. But currently, it has been rescheduled but no clear date as of yet. But with Whyte vs Povetkin, clearly this is the biggest fight in this pandemic. Both are rank boxers, Povetkin #9 and Whyte holding the belt.

If you watch the final presser provided by the OP, Whyte is not over confident, in fact he takes into consideration Povetkin's experience and didn't talk about his performance on his last fight. Yes Povetkin has the experience but at his age, he maybe be affected by it and slows down as the fight progresses. Whyte will be aggressive and if the knock out comes then he will go for it, but not to over confident to look for a knock out, and it seems that both fighters are very relax, not much trash talking in the final presser.

You can also factor in the training before the fight.
Though we don't know who got the intensive training but we will see it inside the ring.
Most bookies are in favor of Whyte so if you really bet on Povetkin, you will have good winnings.
Watching this fight later on and let's see who is the real deal...

We must bet on the reliable boxer, because analysis has a huge error once real fight will come. Meanwhile, most feedback are in favor to a fighter with famous record without even knowing what's the capability of the opponent. Much better if you could try watching their abilities before deciding which of the two would be a best choice.

Agree that analysis/predictions sometimes won't come true but disagree with you saying that it will have a huge error once fight time comes. If we are to talk about the abilities/capabilities of each boxers then their records will give you the fact and you may watch youtube videos if you want to verify.

My take on this fight is that this would be a clear victory for Whyte because as what i have observed Povetkin have slowed down a lot. Again, i maybe wrong but i put my money Whyte via decision.

That's why it's called prediction, it is only a prediction, not 100%. And that's why there is analysis, so it will help us GAMBLERS or add up also some points on how we select our boxer to bet on.
Especially in boxing, lot of unexpected things may happen, even the odds are really far, there are still posiblity for the boxer that odds does not matter or experiences, height or reach. Especially now, I am surprised why the odds is favor on Whyte, since Povetkin got more experiences and bouts compare to Whyte.

A boxer like Whyte will not relax and consider this as an easy fight he knows how good Povetkin in his younger days and he knows that this fight is very important for him to get a chance with a fight on whoever wins against Fury and Wilder.
But who knows there could be an upset here we never rules that out especially in a heavyweight decision, let's see.

Personally, I think the fight will not last beyond the 10th round but, yeah, let's hear out the one who has got the chance to really exchange blows with the two fighters.

Well, since I've not yet placed my bet on the Under 10.5, I'm changing it to Whyte by decision. Let's see how the analysis of Joshua turns out.

https://i.imgur.com/J4uKJIL.png

I am reading the posts of other users here on their bet a d usually goes to Whyte than Povetkin whom is at disadvantage of this match. Povetkin is not good shape basing on his last fight and his skills now om boxing is deppreciating due to ages and it could be his last fight before retiring in tye boxing career.

So my bet will be for Whyte Dillian. He can easily knock out this guy and it also his time for to be recognize by winning this fight. But, the bet of 0.02 btc is very huge any other site that we could bet lower tha  0.2 btc?

I also will bet on Whyte I see both fighters last fight we all know we judge a boxer based on his last two fights and obviously Whyte has the edge Povetkin is a veteran but if you are slow just like in his last fight and you are facing someone like Whyte you are in big trouble.

Personally, I won't judge any boxer based on his or her last two fight because that could be inaccurate when pick odds between the fighters. Whyte had a good record and saw what happened to Povetkin last fight(draw), this will definitely going to affect him if care is  not taken. With all the experience between the two fighter, I will bett on Povetkin by sending a wrong signal to Whyte in  his last fight.

If you are looking at the OP, it's Nitrogen and i'm not very acquainted on the mechanics on betting in their site. I'm using Sportsbet and you can bet any amount you want, of course there is a minimum amount on your bet.


I doubt if Povetkin intended to be sloppy on his last fight to lure Whyte to fight him. In boxing or basketball there is a saying that says "You are only good as your last game" so bettors will rely mostly on their last fights on whether they will bet on him or on his opponent.

For those who want to watch this fight LIVE, see above link. It's 2 AM here in our place, hope i will be awake by that time.

Well, that's what I assume as I watched his last fight. The cause of his draw with his opponent was somewhat questionable. Povetkin is a skilled heavyweight champion with good records and clear defeat to only three(3) which we know to be good inside ring. Wladimir, Klitschko and Anthony J, believe me, this fight won't favor Whyte.

It's noon here and a perfect time to watch the fight. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah sportsbet site could go lower than this and you will only be needing to bet on that player you think winning in this match. You can check the site https://sportsbet.io/ but make to verify all site. Anyway , if you get bored on waiting for this upcoming event you can still play in an online gamibling casino. bitvest have something good to offer for thr gambler.

Will yeah, but because of the last two fights we can say that he might not be interested to win anymore but just wanted the share of money of that fight. Retiring could be an option because if he will not and continue to be a boxer higher chances that this could make get him injuries due to aging. The strength differs as the boxer goes older.

@Baofeng, did you saw that? OMG, what a shot by Povetkin. I thought Whyte already have the fight as he knocked down Povetkin with that left hook late in the fourth round but what a shot by Sasha in the fifth round. Whyte still unconscious as i write this post.

Lost my bet but no regrets.

F**k man, yeah I thought that my prediction is right, left hook win for Whyte under 6. But damn, that was one hell of an upper cut from Povetkin. I also lost my bets, it was really an upset. But we can't do anything about it. And with this win, it changes the landscape of the heavyweight division. Povetkin inserting his name and will probably face any of the big 3 in the future.

I am assuming a lot of people here lost because most of them are rooting for Whyte. Seems that Povetkin really did prepare for this fight. This will open more doors for Povetkin. With regards to Whyte, this fight gave him the second loss of his entire career. Is he going to ask for another round?

That's a surprising result considering that a lot of gamblers here are betting for Whyte. Most sportsbookies are also favouring for Whyte. Guess who did bet on Povetkin are enjoying their wins right now. You can't really be sure of the results unless both fighters are already inside the ring. This will be good for Povetkin's career in boxing.

Whyte is already winning the fight, but that's boxing, as the saying goes, one punch can change the complexion of the fight and this what happen here. Povetkin is even shaking his head after Whyte knock him down. And perhaps it did wake him up because in matter of seconds he turn the fight around.

As for the big 3? I'm sure they would all love to fight Povetkin.

I didn't bet on this fight though. But for those who lost, it's just part of the game and I'm sure you gamblers knows that.

For me this is not a surprising result, seeing my post on the previous page. I bet on Povetkin's win, and it turned out that my prediction
came true. And I am quite satisfied and can enjoy quite a large profit on Povetkin's victory, lucky for me. Many gamblers prefer Whyte to
Povetkin because of their age difference, like I said age difference is not a guarantee of victory in boxing games. I feel sorry for those who
have lost betting because they chose Whyte.

It's surprising that Povetkin pulled off the upset in the manner he did but I felt like Whyte had been overrated recently. He had knocked out a few lower level fighter and the UK fans were saying he would beat Wilder. That was just hype and tonight he got humbled by old man Povetkin.

Or it's probably one lucky shot, a hail Mary and usually this kind of shots will really end the fight. But it seems that Whyte is exposed and maybe you are right that he is overrated. So he is out of the equation for UK fans, Wilder and AJ, with their charisma will remain on top. Wilder is out of his league and others might point that changing his trainer has somewhat impacted his performance. Anyhow, we won't take anything from Povetkin.

It;s one of the biggest turn around I've seen in boxing Povetkin was down two times in round 4 and I thought the second knockdown it will be over but Povetkin was saved by the bell, and that left shot by Povetkin is so strong that Whyte was motionless and the referee did not even bother to count, what an upset and it's very unexpected.

Povetkin has proven many of us wrong he still has it, Whyte is in full control of the fight that two knockdowns in round 4 I thought will slow down Povetkin could be over if not time runs out, it was one lucky uppercut in Round 5 that gets in on Whyte that finish it off.
This is one of the perfectly landed uppercut I have seen and Whyte is out even before he hit the floor, it's good that the referee did not bother to count and ask for paramedics help.

It's shocking to see him lose to an aged boxer like Povetkin who I thought him to be very slowed in his last fight against Hunter but this is boxing one false move and calculation and you are out, by watching the video I did not even see Whyte get hurts by Povetkin punch he is very much ok just unbelievable that he can be taken out by one punch, there goes his chances to fight the winner of the Fury Wilder match.

Well well well, there you go. The left hook that put Sasha down twice in the fourth was no match to the left uppercut that put Dillian to sleep even before he hit the canvas in the fifth. Sasha, 40 years old, remained clear-headed after being downed twice in a single round and was able to take consciousness away from Whyte half a minute after the fifth round started.

That was a sweet victory for the older fighter. A big congratulations to him and all those who placed their bets on him.

To be frank it is not that surprising as i still remember his big media engagement and the way in which he was confident in knocking out Anthony Joshua back in 2015 and instead Whyte was knocked out just like he was knocked out this time by Alexander Povetkin. Before the fight i was rooting for Whyte to win as he started planting the seeds to fight Tyson Fury but everything came out crashing.

All the time Whyte is complaining that Fury should be fighting him and not Wilder he now losses the opportunity to fight Fury for the title I don't know where Whyte's career is going now, he is out of the top rank and it will take some time before we see again, a lot of opportunities gone for Whyte.

I just woke up to read that Povetkin just knocks out Whyte so I just some video on Youtube and check every round on it, Whyte is doing good up to the fourth round when he knocks Povetkin down twice I just thought how can Povetkin knock Whyte out and round 5 comes and have seen how Povetkin perfectly deliver the perfect uppercut that knocks Whyte cold, he is out before he even the floor, devastating loss for Whyte.

The Russian boxer knocked out White (https://yandex.ru/video/touch/preview/?filmId=18110710091699523583&parent-reqid=1598171025071729-605428622066819613200280-production-app-host-sas-web-yp-249&source=tabbar&text=%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD+%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%82+%D0%B3%D0%B4%D0%B5+%D1%81%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8C+%D0%BF%D0%BE+%D1%82%D0%B2/) in the fifth round and received the title of interim heavyweight boxing champion according to the World Boxing Council (WBC).
Povetkin is now a mandatory contender for the WBC World Championship title fight.

Whyte already looks defeated when he first falls, it seems that his condition is not possible to win because he can only survive and cannot fight back, battles like that are usually easy to guess by looking at the conditions of the fighters.

There's a rematch clause in the contract we don't know what goes first the fight on the winner of Wilder - Fury fight or the rematch against Whyte, Dillian loss to much in this fight his ego and his standing in the boxing world and he needs this rematch to get back again but this tiem he needs a knock out if he do that there might a trilogy on these two.

Nope, not one of the biggest turn around because the course was crystal clear from my previous analysis(experience can't be hidden when talk about boxing ring, he regained consciousness due to his experiences). How on earth will someone who had experienced the two fighter said Povetkin will demolish Whyte and seem surprised. Anthony J said it and here it came to pass, though, thanks I did follow his words and had my cut from the share.....

Dillian White, a few hours after the defeat, said that he and Povetkin would have a rematch and would do it this year.  That was the condition of their contract.

 “I was just 'knocked out', yet it's a heavyweight.  The main thing is that we have the right to a rematch under the contract.  I will go back to the gym and then we will have a new fight at the end of the year, "White is quoted by  Matchroom Boxing (https://www.matchroomboxing.com/events/whyte-povetkin//) with a reference to Sky Sports.

"Ideal uppercut in the years of early Mike Tyson". That was the title of the video that was suggested for me this morning. I have simply forgot Povetkin would fight Whyte this weekend. It first I thought that Whyte KO'ed Alexander and he was damn close to it. I did not waited Alexander to recover so quick after two TKO. But what Alexander just did was simply beautiful. Boom and lights were out.

it was quite easy money for me... just one punch and i've improved my finances

Glad that they put the rematch clause in the contract because Povetkin vs Joshua 2 won't happen i think. That Whyte vs Povetkin is a prelude to Joshua vs Whyte 2 but Alexander just ruined the party. Whyte should take care of Povetkin in the rematch but of course Povetkin will get more money this time.

As I have said previously, maybe Whyte switching coach could have a bearing in his lost.

If there is a rematch clause, then good, but I don't think that Whyte will be the favourite, I agree that there are too much hype on him and when he steps up, he gets knock out like in the Joshua fight and now Povetkin.

And yes, thanks to Povetkin, we might not see the hype on Joshua vs Whyte all British showdown.

I disagree with that.  Whyte looked like a very strong and worthy opponent.  It cannot be said at all that he gave up right in the course of the fight.  
But Alexander is certainly strong and he is a great master.
