Comments Thread For: Photo: Povetkin is Full Swing, Preparing For Mike Perez

[Slowhand]

Alexander Povetkin is a great fighter. He is the 2nd best heavyweight in the world. He will destroy Perez.

Agreed. In a perfect world Povetkin gets Wilder, knocks him out and then rematch vs Wlad for all the marbles.

Povetkin continues to fight strong opposition, much respect. Would be awesome should he stop Perez and then go on to fighting Wilder.

I think anyone who says Povetkin will "destroy" Perez is over estimating Alexander and under estimating Mike.

This is a highly competitive fight. Both of these men have boxing skills, they can hit and take a punch.

Perez from the great Cuban school of boxing with the Irish heart and resilience.

Povetkin the solid Russian with the straight forth jab and 1-2 punch style

If Mike comes in ready(physically and mentally) i think he can upset povetkin

Agreed.

Can he stop him though?

Perez has a very hard beard. If Povetkin can manage to put an opponent like this away, it would be a tremendous effort and his resume will be heading toward HOF material if he can maintain such intensity against this calibre of opponents he's outclassing and then ****ing out.

Perez is a fat bum. It's a disgrace that he's even got an eliminator.

Povetkin ends his career.

WBC needs to mandate Wilder vs Povetkin ASAP

[skinnystev]

povetkin is the alabama jackass worst nightmare

[KO'er]

If Perez comes in shape this could be a really nice fight.

I'm betting that Perez is coming under 235 lbs and give povetkin a very hard time, I think he is over the mago hump and last time out he threw punches with bad intentions, his weight was decent...
