[Boxing]: Whyte vs Povetkin II on March 27, 2021

[Russlenat]

Here is a good write up by one of boxing prominent writer with his prediction of the fight.

Alexander Povetkin-Dillian Whyte II: Stats & Stakes

Anything really can happen when good big men square off and Whyte has the size, power, and youth to win this one. Whyte may even have Povetkin down again at some point. The thinking here though is Povetkin won’t have grown ancient since last summer. Having seen Whyte once, Povetkin isn’t going to find the data having changed all that much. Whyte’s defensive liabilities remain. Eventually, Povetkin finds an opening and repeats with another stoppage.

I'm going Whyte here though, so goodluck to all the bettors.

Same here but i'm betting that he would knockout Povetkin early because if the fight prolong, the chances of a repeat is very high.

Whyte should not let Povetkin built the confidence, he should let the latter felt his power early in the fight.

Few hours before fight time, take your pick now guys  .

Thanks for this pick @bisdak40 , I don't know if there will be a KO win by Whyte but you have a point, he needs to win convincingly in this rematch and winning within that rounds will bring back the trust of his fans.

This rematch is going to be more exciting than the first one, Whyte will try to even up the fight, it's a huge disaster if Povetkin will repeat that huge uppercut, I hope one of our members here could drop the link to the live feed of the fight many will like to see this fight's live feed, this fight is going to end in a knock out, because of the power both fighters have.

Hopefully it will be exciting, I'm sure boxers will be more careful especially Whyte.

Also hoping for a free live streaming. please share here.

Yeah, usually those Facebook shares are good in the beginning, but come the main event, most of the time the reception will be offline.

Goodluck to all bettors, I'm not going to put some money here, but I reckon that Whyte might be cautious in the first couple of rounds and this fight won't go to distance, 9 or 10 for Whyte KO/TKO.

Well, Whyte got his redemption by beating Povetkin via referee stoppage, it's a solid fight for Whyte he keeps moving in and out and countering very good, compared to the first match where he is passive he is very active this time, bravely looking for an opening and when he sees oner he goes for it, I don't think there will be the third one, Whyte fully dominates the fight.

wow! finally, i won with my boxing bet! though it is not that much but at least recovered my past 2 losses. lucky for those who bet for whyte, round 4-6. whyte did really redeemed himself and ended it early. maybe povetkin's camp will ask for 3rd one. but let's see. the fight just got finished.

[bisdak40]

I'm short by one round on my bet as it is a stoppage on the fourth round  .

This time Whyte made sure that Povetkin would not beat the referee's count anymore.

I don't think either, Whyte will just wait for the winner of Joshua-Fury until year 2022 or he can fight Wilder or even Ruiz to keep him busy.

Let me quote myself, hehehehe

@bisdak40 - My prediction or at least where I'm going to put my bet,

Whyte - rounds 4-6 @5.6
Whyte - rounds 7-9 @4.7

I think Whyte can still pull it off with a KO win within that rounds, still a safe and good bet with that odds.

On their first match, I bet for Whyte rounds 4-6 as well and I thought that I going to win specially when he knock Povetkin twice in the 4th round. Unfortunately, we know what happens after the next round, too bad.

This should had happened in the first fight though, but Whyte redeem himself here, get his revenge and yeah, he should be waiting for the Joshua-Fury but that is too long. Probably will take a fight later this year, there's a lot of name that has been calling him so make it happen.

[Kemarit]

LOL, I was scrambling to find the fight online in hoping to watch the fight live, unless I see some posts here that the fight is over.

That was very quick and it seems that it was really a mismatch? Perhaps I will just wait for some Youtubers to upload so that I can see what really happen. Now we can say that the first win was really a lucky punch?

Pasensya bro, just getting to much greedy as the odds is very tempting @8 with Whyte winning in round 1-3.

My thinking is that Whyte will be aggressive once the bell ring (which he did) and will try to knock out Povetkin early because if the fight would reach round 4 and up, chances of a repeat is very likely to happen.

But that speculation just didn't happen though.

BTW, congrats.

That was an impressive performance by Whyte. I don't know if having Covid affected Povetkin because he didn't offer any resistance. With Fury and Joshua signing a two fight deal I don't think Whyte will fight for the title anytime soon. Wilder and Ruiz are with PBC so they won't fight him either. His best option right now is Oleksandr Usyk, which is a good fight because we haven't seen Usyk against this level of fighter at heavyweight.

Even if Alexander Povetkin won the fight because of a lucky punch it is a win as many lost their bet when he lost and so is the reason i stayed away from betting in the rematch. Dillian Whyte won the fight and i was expecting the fight to go to the later rounds but Dillian Whyte was able to knock him out in the 4th round.

The next opponent for Dillian Whyte will be Deontay Wilder if he is ready to accept the fight or he might fight Andy Ruiz Jr.

In the third round Dillian Whyte regain his confidence, he can take Povetkin's power that is why he become very aggressive in the third and fourth round because Povetkin's face is bruised and swollen and obviously he is tiring, he redeemed himself with this win, now he can focus in a title match or a big fight, I hope he fights Deontay Wilder next, they hate each other very much.

Because of this win Whyte has become a serious contender for the heavyweight and can challenge whoever wins in the Joshua- Fury match but a fight with Wilder will generate a lot of interest because these two fighters hate each other, they had fights on the press,. but it will take some time because Whyte will have to take a two to three months rest, but glad he had his revenge.

He ended it fast. Covid might have had really great impact on Povetkin's health and performance. But who knows? Don't think there will be part 3 of this. Whyte's promoter, Eddie Hearn,  said that for him, they are eyeing Wilder for the next fight - https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/dillian-whyte-smashes-alexander-povetkin-for-easy-tko-victory-to-reclaim-interim-wbc-heavyweight-title/live/. But a lot will still change. Their goal anyway, is to get world title.

I don't think we need a third fight on the first fight Whyte dominated the first fight until he was hit by that uppercut, on this second fight Whyte again dominated the whole fight until he gets that technical knock out, on their first fight Povetkin won by a lucky punch if not for that lucky punch Whyte could have ended the fight, he just finishes the fight where he left of in their first meeting in their rematch, instead Whyte should ask for a title fight to his promoter.

Yes, it was impressive, I watch the first round and every time Whyte will somewhat hit him, even glance shot, his legs are giving in, so it's either the effect of Whyte's punch or Povetkin is really feeling the effect of Covid-19 in his system. In any case, it was a good win, he had his revenge and it's time for him to move on the next fight. Not sure if Usyk will be the best option, but we will see.

You have a point:

Povetkin seemed to be a few steps off from the very start of the rematch. He had trouble keeping his balance and executing punches.

He was eventually dropped hard from a big combination in the fourth, with the contest being wisely stopped when Povetkin got to his feet on very unsteady legs.

Everyone has noticed that too, and yes I would agree that his body might not have fully recovered, specially with his age, nevertheless he has to go and don't want another postponement. But we are not taking anything away from Whyte though, he prepared for this fight but I just think that Povetkin was really at a disadvantage.

[Jating]

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.

[stadus]

Few hours before fight time, take your pick now guys  .

Have you pull the trigger on this one?

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

I'm curious, does anyone here still remember what's the betting odds for 4-6 KO wins by Whyte ?
