So it has happened, so that some were waiting with ill-concealed impatience, and others vice versa in advance of full-length dubbed a farce. Epic under the name of a loud Alexander Povetkin vs. Wladimir Klitschko gets its logical conclusion: the battle still take place. And pretty soon – November 29.

Wilfried Sauerland If, head of representing the interests of the company Povetkin promoter Sauerland Events, was not a cynic and a miser, a meeting between the Russians and Klitschko, the younger we would most likely have not seen. At this year. Later – yes, it would have taken place. Moreover – would be a very even way. But at this stage, even taking into account the championship ambitions and sverhmotivirovannost Povetkin – early. This will confirm every little bit knowledgeable boxing man.

Let me give you a well-known commentator saying Vladimir Gendlin. In an interview with the Ukrainian newspaper “Today” he made it clear – Povetkin to wait a little:

“about the battle between Alexander Povetkin and Wladimir Klitschko, I can say that I'll be on site managers, Sasha, I would put this fight for another year. Yes, Povetkin, bold, hard-bitten. But its true strength can not be judged after these battles, as was Sasha with Taurus Sykes, which fell almost to swing the Russian. The only way to beat Wladimir Klitschko Povetkin is to find the right distance. I do not think that Vladimir and his experience will make it to his opponent. And beat Klitschko in tactics while Alexander, I think, not by force “.

Around the same vein, if we discard the sister and boasting a pronounced arrogance, about the prospects of “Russian Knights” in a fight with Wladimir's older brother said, and Ukrainian boxer vitali klitschko. According to him, the fight with Wladimir can seriously impede the promotion of Russian in athletic career: “If Alexander thought that he would get the world champion belt, I think that Povetkin is much more likely to be defeated in this battle. And not just defeat and defeat, which for several years can throw Povetkin from achieving your goal “.

However, from this point of view, not everyone agrees. According to managing director Chris Meyer, Sauerland Event, displaying Povetkin on Klitschko's not too early, “Alexander was ill for a long time before the fight with Chambers and was prepared not one hundred percent, but that was enough to win. With Klitschko, he will be ready in one hundred percent and this should be enough. ”

In fact, another comment from Meyer would be foolish to wait: in the end, he defends the interests of not only Russian, as Sauerland Event. After all, to make a poster, “Povetkin – Klitschko,” no doubt you can. For the “speculators” the most important thing is this. And the question “what will happen next?”, They usually ponder later, when it is the “more” is, in general, does not even “further”, and right now.

To be honest, personally I prefer the view Gendlin and Klitschko the elder. At the very least, the words expressed by Vitali, can not be called absurd. Today Vladimir truly be called the best heavyweight of the world. Of course, you can still remember Sam Peter, who, in general, it is also fairly well established himself in the ring, and all the same level as a class – call it what you like – a Nigerian obviously not the same does not hold it up to Vladimir. And something more, in fact, and no one to call.

Chagaev? Yes, it is strong with this one is no dispute: but not the kind of charisma – some he did not champion or something. Well, have won the Uzbek Valuev won the belt according to WBA. And everything seems to be true, proud and beautiful, that's only if he can repeat the success? Whether to defend a belt because the climb to the summit is always easier than to stay on it.

Against the above identified individuals, Sasha Povetkin is not the first, but by far not the last. He – powerful enough technically and very ambitious. Here are just there in his nature, as it seems, one is not the best – even for professional boxers, – trait: some he is too hot, fussy and incontinent. There is a feeling that Povetkin is about going to retire, so he is now without fail to file all at once. As the saying goes, time is short.

think, not least in this rush and vanity plays Mr. Sauerland. The latter never was different shutter speed and patience. Here I totally agree with Vitali Klitschko, who once described the following chapter Sauerland Events: “Sauerland always throws the guys, even if it is very promising and like Povetkin, without the necessary experience and immediately against the strongest fighters of the world. In this connection there very great risks. And if you do not believe me and think that I advocate the position of his brother, then later make their own conclusions “.

indirectly confirmed this idea and the recent call for proposals for the right organization of the match. Before this procedure, the influential German publication Bild, – or omitted from someone's false leads, toli incorrectly interpreted the words of the immediate actors – abandoned “duck”: a pier, Sauerland Events will offer during the call for proposals to fight Wladimir Klitschko – Povetkin $ 10 million.

amount in general, is in itself significant, but given the nature is not wasteful Sauerland plus the ratio of the split the fee, which is known to be equal to 75 to 25 percent in favor of the defending champion – made public figure and did obtained some are too generous and exaggerated. But, gosh, our Wilfried not a fool, a master of fine divorce. Naturally tender for themselves do not smell and even tens of millions. Sauerland Events put a price tag of 8,114,140 dollars. Company of Klitschko brothers went much further – 13,130,130 dollars, and all rights in the fight now K2 East Promotions.

At the end of

speak for possibly seditious thought: Povetkin simply unwind. In the literal and figurative senses. His promotions, videos, posters, which show off the model with automatic rifles on the table is vodka, and he sits in a luxurious fur coat, of course, look very colorful and impressive. But will he just look in the ring with Wladimir Klitschko? Well, very soon, November 29, all of us – and those who believe Povetkin, and those who believe, again, but not now – we get a very specific answer.
