Alexander Povetkin vs Christian Hammer Prediction

Alexander Povetkin vs Christian Hammer Betting Tips

After initially struggling as a heavyweight contender, Hammer has been able to establish himself with a string of wins. Even though he may not have the qualities like experience, skill, and power to take on an opponent like Povetkin, who is clearly on top of the world with a reputation of being amongst the top five heavyweight boxers, we believe he might stand a chance. The logical prediction would be to go for a victory of Povetkin when you see the odds, but the price offered by most bookmakers is too low. Instead, we are betting on Hammer's win. The reason is simple: 2016 was the worst year in Povetkin's career. He tested positive twice, saw opportunities fall apart: he didn't get into fights against WBC champion Deontay Wilder and also against Bermane Stiverne in a final eliminator all because a failed test right on the morning of the fight. While Hammer might not be the best boxer out there, at least his recent form has been great.
