Must be that weak boxing commission Maryland has. As we all know Maryland is in the south or midwest and that's where it is easy to build a fighter's record. Fucking Atlas.
wow...that a big drop in competition...from Ahuanya...Bostice...Donald..Byrd...Chambers...Estrada....Povetkin seem to be going steady w/ his competition....
Yes, good ole' Atlas, the "conscience of boxing" who so passionately speaks out against mismatches in the sport. http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=17176&cat=boxer Early in his career you can also see how passionately Atlas is against mismatches.
Figured it'd be a lesser opponent given Povetkin's layoff and that Atlas is new to the corner...but this is pretty poor. Oh well, can't expect Teddy's actions to match his words...he's found a new source of income now.
One of the Russian betting agencies has a line on Povetkin at 1.002. So, if I understand it correctly, you have to bet $1000 on Povetkin win, to win $2..... On the bright side, if Povetkin loses, you can earn $1000 by betting $2 on this REED fella....
Cancelled? BoxingScene reportig it is and negotiations have begun for Povetkin-Chambers II for the interim IBF belt, instead. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&opt=printable&id=22856
