Alexander Povetkin faced another hopeless opponent in Andrzej Wawrzyk this afternoon and scored a dominating third round knockout. The 6’5, previously undefeated Wawryzk (27-1, 13 KOs) had a thin resume and it showed against Povetkin, who quickly started to walk him down and land massive overhand rights and hooks to the body.
The backpedaling Wawrzyk was dropped via a counter overhand right in the second. A Povetkin leaping left hook notched the second knockdown in the third. Povetkin clubbed Wawrzyk inside with a right for the fourth knockdown that finally prompted the ref stoppage.
*******************************
I’d venture to say Wawrzyk wasn’t much better than the ancient Hasim Rahman that Povetkin bludgeoned back in September. It’s quite shameful that after all these years, Povetkin has yet to truly test himself against a Klitschko. The man is now 33 years old and seems content to defend his paper “WBA World” heavweight title against lame opposition. Well, at least his fight with Marco Huck last year was good.
Beats, Boxing and Mayhem 
I’ll skip past Povetkin, did you guys get the Lebedev fight???
As much as it disgusting that the fight carried on, it was brutally amazing to… I dont think Ive ever seen a fighter with such deformed swelling in my life, Lebedev looked like the Elephant Man…
The corner, doctor and referee should never be allowed near a boxing ring again, the fact the Dr looked at it a round before Lebedev effectively got stopped is disgusting… I thought Jones fought well, props to him, I thought Lebedev was gonna walk straight thru him… I will be surprised if Lebedev is ever the same fighter i.e Jeff Lacy after Calzaghe…
Saying that the Russian Mafia might of wet up or poisoned anyone that stopped the fight…
