For some strange reason I will watch this.

Povetkin has digressed since the Chambers win and looked inept and weak against Marco Huck.

Rahman has done nothing but beat a few 'tomato cans' in his latest comeback though hasn't even fought in a year. The WBA obviously really appreciate this type of form hence the ridiculous ranking of 'hasbeen'.

It should be a routine win for Povetkin. A few rounds beating up on a plodding Rahman before Hasim is pulled out.

It amazes me that Rahman is still getting these big fights on the back of stopping Lennox Lewis 11 years ago, he should have been banned for life after his performance against Wlad, it was pathetic and bored me to tears.

Rahman can't have too much money in his @Wallet to continue fighting, but he'll have @Boxed Ears at the end of this bout, and in the long term there'll be @Bill to pay. Povetkins punchers are no @Dinamita but Hasim is so slow he'd better have @BigBone in his jaw, perhaps Aleksandr can impress with a @Flash Jab .

Hopefully, after he retires, Rahman can kick back at his pad and listen to one of his favourite @LP s.

"Weights from Hamburg: Povetkin 229.1 Rahman 256.6 , Ustinov 305.6, Pulev: 249.3."
"Rahman's trainer, Eddie Mustafa Muhammad was unexpectedly unable to get to Germany because of a visa issue. Not good."
