Boxing News: Klitschko Threatens To Pull Plug On Fight After Povetkin Fails To Show Up For Press Conference: World heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko is unnerved that #3 ranked contender Alexander Povetkin was a no-show for a press conference promoting their September 11th showdown. “For two weeks, we have tried to force him to come. He could have shown that he is ready to fight me. Stated Klitschko, It’s the first time in my entire career that my opponent did not come to the press conference.”
 

The Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin Fight Odds have Klitschko as a -600 Boxing Betting favorite at SPORTSBETTING.COM.
 
Fight Picks Analysis: Povetkin claimed that an illness was the reason why he missed the press conference but one has to wonder if Povetkin’s trainer Teddy Atlas is try to gain some sort of psychological advantage. Atlas is the master of psychological warfare and he seemed to coax a reaction out of the usually even tempered Klitschko. “I didn’t choose Povetkin,” said Wlad. “He’s my mandatory IBF challenger. No matter who will be my opponent on September 11, I will knock him out.” The Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin Fight Odds have Povetkin at +425 on the Boxing Betting Moneyline.

It is interesting that the overly cautious Klitschko is stating that he is going to knock somebody out. One thing about Povetkin is that he is very durable and he throws lots of punches. If Klitschko stands in Povetkin’s wheelhouse he could find himself on the receiving end of some leather. Wlad has never shown a very good chin and our fight picks staff considers Povetkin a “live” boxing betting underdog in this match-up.
