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

[TravelMug]

The victory of povetkin in the first fight was a huge surprise for me and the uppercut that knocked whyte out was probaby the most spectacular knockout of 2020 and i watched it at least 20 times now becuase it was beautifully executed.
Whyte is again the big favorite in the rematch whis is also shown in the betting odds and i think whyte will be more attentive this time to net get knocked out again out of nowhere.

I think that Whyte will still be aggressive and look for that knock out.

But this time, he shouldn't force it, power wise, he has the advantage against Povetkin so it's just a matter of time before he caught Povetkin again. But it should be controlled aggression, just go for that knock out if it presents itself and hope that Povetkin chin this time will crack.

It's fight week guys and more markets are out on bookies.

This is hard to pass up as this is an exciting fight to watch, revenge or repeat? But i'm 95 percent confident that this would end brutally like the first one so below are the more appropriate option for those who want to bet.

@Baofeng, what's your pick bro?

That's some juicy odds there for Povetkin. However, I still think that Whyte can take his revenge here, ML is not that good, but if I'm going to bet, I will choose Whyte 7-9 rounds. I think he will play safe in the beginning as he don't want to get surprise again. And then go for the knockout after the second half of the fight if Povetkin is somewhat has been soften by him.

I guess there's a huge chance that this fight will go to score card,  and I think Povetkin odds here is very attractive so I'll likely put a small bet for that. On the screenshot by @bisdak, there's no odds for Povetkin winning by KO at any rounds?

Whyte was really doing well on the first match against Povetkin the first 4 rounds of him in that match proves that he id ahead of him he even knock him down twice during the 4th round. The only problem during this match is Povetkin got lucky with that uppercut where it made Whyte hit that canvas. Povetkin still has that KO power and this is where Whyte needs to improve if he wants to avoid an upset like what happened during the first match he must be careful with those punches and must just choose the opportunities he will take in the early rounds as this is where Povetkin will still have a lot of stamina on the match.

Povetkin by KO, that's 4.50.. still attractive so go for it.

[Baofeng]

@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.

am placing on whyte here though it is only 1.26. still thinking what rounds i can place here, seems whyte- rounds 7-9? maybe? bookies are all favouring whyte. interesting what will be the outcome here? if povetkin did really get the virus (which whyte claimed he never had covid), it may have effect on his overall performance. we will see that inside the ring.

Yes, who knows, maybe he can repeat his performance an KO Whyte, and @4.5, highly risky but yet good one to bet if that scenario happen again. This fight is just like 2 days from today, maybe the odds will change a bit, but if you are bettor that goes for the underdog, Povetkin is a live one here.

That's another factor that we have to look at, he has recovered by the virus, but we don't know if it can affect him in the fight. So it's good to have Whyte by rounds 7-9 or even earlier than that. Still juicy odds as posted above.

I don't know if we have like statistics for boxers who have been infected by the covid-19 then recovered and then fight, maybe we can see if the virus has really affected those boxers.

[madnessteat]

This is one of the main fights that all Russian-speaking boxing fans will be watching. Although bookmakers' odds show Dillian Whyte's advantage I still believe, as well as Alexander Povetkin himself, that he will be strong enough to defeat Whyte once more.

If he has a better boxing skills than Povetkin, he would win. He would just simply follow what Joshua did during their rematch against Ruiz, he was more careful and he dominated the fight. Whyte here does not need to go for a KO, just score and win so he can reclaim himself then have big fights again.

However, for the sake for excitement, I'll go for Povetkin here. Who's with me?

He already taste that KO from their first match for sure he will be more careful now.

Like what you have said, he just need to use his skills and strategy to win this, keep himself away from the possibility of having
a 2nd KO but instead, reclaim to have a much better future ahead, no need to fight aggressively it will lead him to unexpected
result again.

I can sense that people are still believing that Whyte could easily win this fight, I know he was the better fighter but if he adjust, I'm sure Povetkin  would do the same, he has a power and he might pressure Whyte here as he already beat him so he will be fighting with a high confidence.

I think that is only normal because if you have watched the first fight it is clear that Povetkin was dominated by Whyte until that lucky punch landed that brutally knocking out Whyte.

The only adjustment that Whyte should make here is to make sure that once he landed his own power punches, he should see to it that Povetkin would stay down until the referee count him out.

But still you are right, confidence might change the whole fight but overconfidence might bring disaster to Povetkin.

This fight is worth to watch, let's see how Whyte will redeem himself, and I'm not expecting a KO here since Whyte will not make the same mistake he did in the first fight. It's too convincing that he will win as you can see on the betting odds, but it's always good to bet on odds with a high return and that is Whyte winning by decision or Povetkin winning either KO or decision.

Yes, that is the intriguing factor here, whether Whyte can redeem himself from the disaster in their first fight. I'm still expecting though for Whyte to win by KO here, that's why he will have his revenge against Povetkin, otherwise, fans will say that he just stay safe to get a win.

On the contrary, if Povetkin will win again, he might have another shot on the HW belt in the future.

Exactly, Whyte is winning on the judges scorecard and even knock down Povetkin and you can say that he was really dominated until he knocks out Whyte cold in the canvass. And so betting public thinks that Whyte will still be dominating Povetkin but this time he won't allow that knock out to happen again. And on the contrary, he will still go for the knockout because every punch is throw with bad intention. If Povetkin though win again, it just prove that the first win is no fluke and Whyte is just overrated.

[freedomgo]

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.”

https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/3/2/22308980/povetkin-vs-whyte-2-alexander-not-bothered-delay-ready-march-27-rematch-dazn-boxing-news-2021

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.

Time to find the truth is approaching. Today after around 10:30pm we have to learn who is the more powerful boxer. You are right,  Povetkin has a concrete chin but his legs are not "quick" and Whyte can use it to win a victory in this 12-round rematch, the age on his side  at least. I'm still favoring Whyte.

So no KO expectation, hence the odds is good for Whyte winning by decision if that's your prediction. Anyway, good luck, this fight will be happening in less than 24 hours from now, so let's hope we will see an entertaining fight, better than the first one.

Whyte has a soft chin I believe, if he is not careful he might get KO again, same spot Joshua beat him in his first loss, he should be more careful with that chin and about a powerful uppercut.

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  .

[Saisher]

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.
