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

[Baofeng]

^^ You beat me to it mate, 

So I already updated the date as well, so there could be full 8 weeks for Povetkin to train and pull an upset again, while Whyte is eager to take his revenge.

[TravelMug]

Good that the fight will push thru this March, there's a lot of names floating around when Povetkin can't make it to the original date of January, lots of names calling Whyte and it's interesting that he didn't bite anyone and get the fight.

And now that the fight is on again, also rescheduled, I doubt that the odds are going to chance though, it will still be Whyte as the favourite to win from sportbookies.

Of course, I would say that this is one awaited HW match, and for boxing fans and gamblers, another opportunity to make money.

And now that the fight is on again, also rescheduled, I doubt that the odds are going to chance though, it will still be Whyte as the favourite to win from sportbookies.

Whyte still possesses that knock out punch, it's just that the chin of Povetkin holds up. I will still see this though as 50/50 and I wouldn't be surprised if the fight goes to distance this time.

True, once the opponent give in for the chance there are possibility of a knockout. Basically this match should be taking in by Povetkin II because what happened in the last fight should be consider IMO, maybe this fight might just mark the downfall of Whyte in my honest view. But let wait to watch the match for a conviction.

Covid -19 makes a difference, everyone is affected. Despite losing the first game I think Whyte had a different motivation. I heard that he wants to be a mandatory challenger to WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. If he wins, it will make it easier. Whyte's notes on the duel with Povetkin and the knockout in round 5 I think he was off guard, he feels almost done because he already knocked Povetkin twice. Henceforth I think if this continues then there will be an ambitious duel to avenge the defeat.

Whyte has been motivated ever since he lost to AJ years ago. He was chasing AJ for a rematch, however, Whyte become a tier B fighter while AJ becomes a champion. However, Whyte needs to win this match against whoever he chooses to fight if Povetkin is not going to be available at the end of the month obviously. Before talking about the big fights against Fury or AJ.

We want to see this but if this will not happen, might as well Whyte will look for another opponent, how about Whyte vs Wilder? I think this would be a great fight, Joshua vs Fury is already destined, if the price is right, maybe soon we will see some announcement.

You spoke too soon mate, as the fight will be officially set in March this year. Whyte did show a lot of patience waiting for Povetkin to recover and finally get his revenge for good. If he wins then maybe he will have a shot at Wilder or even Pulev, who have been calling Whyte in social media and says that he want to shot that big mouth of Whyte for good.

[bitterguy28]

In a twist of event, Whyte exercises his rematch clause and decided to get back at Povetkin on November 21 of this year, March 6, 2021 just a couple of months removed from his upset.

So in the End its Povetkin is still His Opponent ?

anyway I'm not interested betting on this event because i am focusing in Garcia fight and also for Mayweather's . those 2 events is My priority in Boxing this month .

AS i am now entering the Tennis gambling this Year, First venture but i'll try my Luck anyway.

If he wins then maybe he will have a shot at Wilder or even Pulev, who have been calling Whyte in social media and says that he want to shot that big mouth of Whyte for good.

Pulev, after seeing that Whyte vs Povekin 1, maybe thinks that Whyte is very beatable that is why he is taunting him to fight him. No offense to these fighters but i think Pulev, Whyte and even Povetkin is not in the league with Fury, Joshua and Wilder. So, maybe after this fight and if Whyte will win then Pulev is the possible next opponent for him as Joshua will be chasing Fury in the top.

Exactly, I would say they are the 2nd tier heavyweight, but they can beat each other and then face either of the top 3 right now. Or if he wins maybe Wilder will give him a chance and then the winner can take Fury vs Joshua winner.

But if he losses again, the Povetkin vs Pulev is also possible, so let's see how Whyte will deal with Povetkin this time. If he choose the way he fights in the first, then we might see the same result.

As expected before the fight was once again postponed.Well, we'll have to wait a little bit for this fight.


Yesterday Alexander Povetkin published on his Instagram a photo from Moscow Domodedovo airport (https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ8KnRErk_d/) and said that they are flying out for training. If I understand correctly the training will take place in Russia.

And the venue of the fight is not yet settled as well,

Povetkin-Whyte Rematch Could Go To Gibraltar, Monaco or Middle East

Gibraltar, Monaco and the Middle East are all possible venues for the Alexander Povetkin vs. Dillian Whyte rematch after Whyte asked Hearn to find a venue where fans could attend.

I will vote for the Middle East though, specially Saudi Arabia, however, we don't know any assurance from the government if fans are going to be allowed. There's so many factors to consider right now specially health protocols.

as much as possible, they want to get good number of audience here. they need to look for a place where covid vaccine is strongly rolled out this month and the next. so they can get the audience they want. as travel restrictions are mostly tight in various countries, they will be banking on the local audience of that place. march is not that far, so guess, both camps are training hard already.

Just a quick update on Whyte's camp:

Whyte Beefs Up Training Team For Povetkin Rematch, Adds Former Lennox Lewis Coach

Whyte has made an addition to his training team, adding Harold 'The Shadow' Knight, a former co-trainer for former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.

Leading up to the first bout with Povetkin, it was revealed that Whyte shockingly parted ways with longtime trainer Mark Tibbs. He then hired Xavier Miller as head trainer.

Knight was at Whyte's camp in October, joining Miller, to help Whyte prepare for the prior rematch date in November.

https://www.boxingscene.com/whyte-beefs-up-training-team-povetkin-rematch-adds-former-lennox-lewis-coach--154867

So he beef up his camp with an experienced trainer. Let's see if Whyte will come up with a new strategy in this rematch and bounce back from his devastating KO lost in the first fight.

Will Whyte have a good chance inside the ring with this addition on his camp? The actual performance still depends on how rigid his training is with the combination of the strategies that they will come up with. It is not how many people you have on your side, but how prepare are you to last long inside the ring. Hope to see a toe-to-toe fight on this match. By the way, Whyte is favoured in crypto sportsbooks at the moment. Povetkin - Whyte : 3.25 -1.33, 3.31 - 1.34 --- https://www.bestodds.ai/odds/sport-boxing/matchups/alexander-povetkin-vs-dillian-whyte

^^ I don't think it will increase his chance of winning, after the bell rings, it's between him and Whyte on the ring and his new coach can't help him. Even if someone hire the best boxing trainer, it's no guarantee if he has weak chin, just like what happen to Amir Khan, he join coach Roach, but he can't teach Khan how to improved his china chin.

“Everyone has a plan: until they get punched in the face.” – Mike Tyson. And all the plan you have are thrown out of the window. Anyhow, he is still the favorite to win in this fight so let's see.

Of course, when the bell rings, its him vs Povetkin. He included the new trainer perhaps not to improve his skills, but to guide him mentally though. I agree that weak chins can't be teach, if you have a china chin like Amir Khan, the only thing you can do is to strengthen your neck muscles but that's is.

Just to not forget the coming event. Any fresh news on this? The last rumor I've heard the fight was postponed for the late of March. However whichever date it  is scheduled Whyte
 still has a chance to win in rematch. He is a bit faster and speed in boxing is often crucial, what do you think?

Yeah, it's being moved again later this month and I also did take a look at the bookies for updates on the odds but there is none. 

I do hope that it will push through this time, no more excuses from both camps.

Whyte vs Povetkin 2: Date and time
This 12-round heavyweight bout is now scheduled for Saturday, March 27.
It will take place in Gibraltar but the venue has not been confirmed yet.

It's good that it's still gonna happen and this is gonna be this month.

I also can't find the betting odds but according to https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/alexander-povetkin-v-dillian-whyte/winner

It's Whyte who is the favorite to win this fight.

I have updated the title date to March 27, and as per Povetkin he is fine with the new date,

“I feel fine. I’m ready to fight. The team and I are in a good mood. We are ready for the fight, we want this fight. ... Anything can happen. I reacted normally [to the postponement]. What can you do? We made some changes and go on.”

So it seems he has recovered already and now ready to fight. We do hope that this is the final push date, everyone wanted to see if Povetkin can pull it off again and upset Whyte.

Couple of sportsbooks, betbtc and cloudbet already listed this match. And the odds are favoring Whyte here - https://www.bestodds.ai/odds/sport-boxing/matchups/alexander-povetkin-vs-dillian-whyte

So yeah, if Povetkin will see the odds, hopefully he will see this as a challenge to outperform Whyte inside the ring.

No one really gives Povetkin a shot in the first match, and now it seem that bookies didn't learn from their mistakes and still favours Whyte in the rematch. Although Whyte is the more powerful puncher between the two obviously, but Povetkin has proven himself already, so no doubt that he will still have that granite chin and he can go and upset Whyte again. I will not be surprised if Whyte pull another upset.

Maybe bookies see Povetkin's first win as a fluke, he was down in that fight already and in the brink of losing, until he caught Whyte with that devastating uppercut, so I will say that it was really a lucky shot that changes the complexion of the match.

And then it was suspended due to Povetkin getting Covid, so it might affect his performance in this rematch. Plus Whyte has waited and really eager to avenge, and that is his motivation. So everything points that Whyte is still the bigger and the favorite to win again in this rematch.
