He usually has good info on european fighters.

Also, if Wlod/Drzod 2 is happening then too.... Goddamn....March starts off, then followed by a strong April, followed by a strong as hell may.....

REall really good 3 month stretch

Fantastic fight.



Man. Povetkin showing all these chump HW's how it's done. He took his beating from the king (Wlad) and then proceeds to take out all the best remaining HW's.


First Takom (Top 10 HW) Now Perez. AND his team offered Wilder a career high payday before this Perez fight was talked about.


Povetkin beats ANY HW not named Wlad. Pulev, Wilder, etc.... They all get brutalized by Povetkin.

[King_]

Lmfao Povetkin going to become Wilder's mandatory and Wilder's team won't let him "marinate" the WBC belt anymore.


This is one of the amazing things about boxing (if it's enforced properly and there's no BS)..... You don't want to fight someone voluntarily? Fine. BUT if that person becomes your mandatory opponent..... you either fight him or drop that belt.

Fantastic

I would assume they'll push for the WBC to enforce their mandatory.... and they're gonna push for Russia. They'll most likely win after that humongous 23 million purse bid they did.

Won't be the same amount, but they look willing to do it again to have it in Russia

It's ridiculous that a fat bum like Mike Perez gets an eliminator! Hopefully Povetkin knocks him out cold like he did to Charr.

Yeah Wilder's going to have to stop ducking and fight Povetkin/Perez or drop that belt.


Beautiful.



I like Wilder..... but this "holding a title hostage" **** has no place in boxing. Happens way too often

Yea, no idea how he still holds a top 4 ranking despite losing in his last eliminator and then beating an unraked journeyman.....

Fantastic

Wow, you run a little hard with this don't you think? I mean Povetkin struggled way lesser fighters than Wilder before. I think he beats Perez but I don't think he beats Wilder. I'd give itt 55-45 to Wilder.

Who has Povetkin struggled against besides Marco Huck?



The In-Shape Povetkin who showed up against Takam is the second best HW in the world, IMO. Carlos Takam is better then anyone Wilder has ever fought.



You're talking about Wilder like he didn't get giftwrapped a a vacant title against a guy who's best win was a fat street brawler named Chris Arreola. He's hardly a "champion." There's a reason his manager wants him to take it easy and "learn on the job." He's still very green.

Make or break for Perez if he is going to show up like the mentally broken man clown he has been showing up as since the Mago fight he will get his ass beat badly.
