Originally posted by Tom Cruise View PostIts difficult to say with Wilder.
In the Duhuapas fight he showed he has at least been working on his inside game, but he was still pretty raw. offensively he was decent, but Duhuapas was able to land very easily too.
By all rights Povetkin should be better than DW inside. He has the shorter arms and the stocky build that favours inside work, But he seems completely clueless/unwilling to mix it up in there. At mid range he is extremely dangerous though and hes better at long range than he looks too
Wilder is vulnerable backing straight up on the ropes, in the Molina fight he was getting nailed with uppercuts, that's why Molina lasted so long.
Styles do make fights though, at 6'2 Povetkin's reach is just "75, that's shorter than:
Dpas-6'5 82.5" reach
Molina-6'4 79" reach
Stiverne-6'2 77" reach
etc.
Povetkin's reach really puts him at a disadvantage against taller fighter, this will be a very close fight, can go either way. If Wilder and his team game plan properly, they could very well KO him.
For all the talk about Wilder being chinny, Povetkin has been dropped and buckled in practically all of his fights ever since he fought Wlad, even Huck hurt him. Wilder will be the hardest punching (same as Wlad), most aggressive fighter he's ever faced. Wlad didn't go for the KO, Wilder will.Last edited by Cutthroat; 11-05-2015, 01:43 PM.
