I would just watch this fight and not bet on it, because I read there has apparently been a good bit of money from "some criminal elements within Russia" coming in on this fight between the Russian Povetkin and the Polish Klitschko. But the fam is on over 8.5 rounds in the Cotto/Rodriguez fight tonight.

dude I didn't realize Klitchko was Polish

this should be a very interesting fight...unfortunately I cheer for both guys to win...however the Ukranian Klitchko has my vote of confidence in this one.

It's too bad I can't attend this one Bubblez- doing some traveling for work right now...will be watching it on the web in the hotel room

And whoever says "boxing is dead" is missing the boat. Yeah, I wish there were some legit American heavyweights right now too and even though Mayweather is my boy (the list below is badass), I love seeing a good heavyweight fight, like most other real men. Boxing is down, it is NOT dead.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is on top of the world. It's less of a subjective statement and more of an honest observation at this point...

yup...Ukraine..which is a former republic of USSR

20 years ago you could of called Klitcho Russian...now he's Ukrainian

...but for old timers like me who were born in USSR all these athletes remain Russian...and that's why I pull for both fighters

If the klitschko brothers were American they would be promoted bigger than mike Tyson and boxing would be in its former glory!

Klitschko brothers are the best!!!

Wladimir klitchko has a suspect chin but for sure is a great boxer.

I agree

Funny thing is that I have actually met both brothers in Manhattan Beach, CA 7 years ago on the trail near PCH...they used to have a house over there and would run together every single morning on the beach.

I'm 6'1 about 195lbs and I felt like a midget standing next to them

Povetkin is one hell of a fighter...I think it will be a pretty close fight, but Klitchko will pull it through.

Holyfield and Haye were cruiserweights, it means nothing. I think it's more important that it was Marco Huck.

Boddhissatva · 10-05-13, 11:29 AM

What is with the huge line movement in this fight?

Wlad opened -1000 or that area...he dropped to -625 than -495 now I look at 5dimes in the morning and he's only -345 now.

I have Wlad winning this via stoppage.

InTheDrink · 10-05-13, 11:35 AM

whats the best play on the board here guyes

o/u 9.5 or a side

Well it started with -1400 and now you can have Wlad for -305. Kind of suspicious line drop but I do not think Wladimir needs money from any russian oil baron. All-in.

I was able to get Povetkin when Wlad was -1100.

I have Povetkin, Cotto, Chagaev, Selby, Mitchell, & Salinas straight & in different parlay combo's. GL everyone.

Good luck with those parlays..

Povet just doesn't have the head movement or ability to get inside to endanger Wlad's chin...I could be wrong...good luck again

SharpBoxing · 10-05-13, 12:19 PM

If the referee deducts points from Wlad for holding then this fight could get interesting.

Put a small amount on Povetkin inside the distance. Maybe the referee will even DQ Wlad. I have a feeling something unexpected is going to happen tonight

Ron_Paul_2012 · 10-05-13, 12:55 PM

Chagaev wins!

1 down 5 more to go!

Russian Rocket · 10-05-13, 01:55 PM

hmm..the line on Klitchko is still dropping...-300 now at 5D's

InTheDrink · 10-05-13, 01:55 PM

Like I mentioned on the original post, I read somewhere (some boxing site, but I can't remember which one) that there has been big Russian mob money moving in on this fight, but I don't know which side.

No bullshit, Drinker.

I am just WATCHING this fight and HOPING Klitschko wins.
