Atlas likes Povetkin to knock out Klitschko Oct 2nd 2013, 17:49, by Michael Woods Teddy Atlas -- the ESPN analyst and on-again off-again trainer who helmed Michael Moorer to a heavyweight title in 1994 -- worked with Russian Alexander Povetkin for more than two years, with a singular purpose in mind: Get Klitschko. A Cus D'Amato protege, Atlas, from day one, had Povetkin thinking Klitschko, thinking of ways to take down little brother Wladimir. Atlas drilled in Povetkin, now 33, the holes in Klitschko's game. "I made it clear to Alex that Wladimir is vulnerable, that when he's not standing tall, controlling space, and keeping you at the end of his jab, he doesn't know how to fight," the Staten Island resident Atlas told me Wednesday, three days out from Povetkin's challenge of the IBF, WBO, WBA super world champion Klitschko in Moscow.
