Povetkin brutally knocks Price out (video)
Former heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin got a stoppage victory over David Price in the undercard of the boxing evening in Cardiff, Wales, and defended WBA Inter-Continental and WBO International heavyweight belts.
From the first minute of the fight Povetkin seized the initiative, confidently reducing the distance and combining punches to the body and head.
In the third round Povetkin managed to knock Price down. The Briton was very angry with his fall. The Russian did not rush to finish off his opponent, continuing to work with combinations. Price responded well and one of the episodes even seriously shook Povetkin. Alexander fell on the ropes, and the referee counted him down.
The denouement occurred in the fifth round, when Povetkin shocked Price with a right hand, and added a heavy left hook.
