Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Look Forward To Facing Povetkin

[Build That Wall]

I was a little surprised that night. He kept his composure for all 12 rounds. He just needs to do that again, but Povetkin himself won a Gold Medal and is certain to be a dangerous puncher. Question is if and how often can he reach Wilder?

Povetkin Reach, 75, Wilder Reach, 83.


8 inch reach advantage, I believe wlad had a 6 inch reach advantage. Both Wlad and Wilder have the most power in that division. I think Wilder can choose his method of victory in this one. KO or Outbox him.

Klitschko knocked him down once.

He pushed him down twice and threw him down once, but the shady ref called those knockdowns.

Even though the fight was in Moscow, the ref let Klitschko get away with a lot of fouling and holding.

With an honest ref, I think Povetkin beats Wilder and possibly even Klitschko. If the fight is in the USA, Haymon will want a shady ref like Lawrence Cole of Jack Reiss to work the fight.

Kenny Bayless would be the Ref for this fight if it is in Vegas.

....Wilder. He has NEVER faced a good fighter. This time he will and get iced.

He beat the WBC heavyweight champ stiverne who was a top 10 fighter. To say hes "never" faced anyone good is ******

Povetkin crushes this fraud

How is he a fraud? He beat the WBC champion, if he was a fraud he would have lost that fight

[Gentblue]

imagine if we get

froch v GGG
Loma v Walters
Canelo v Cotto
Wilder v Povetkin

Fight one is being negotiated.
Fight two from what I gathered Walters more or less said he not ready for Loma yet.
Fight Three Cotto wants too much money.
Fight four might 50/50 shot of happening.

Kenny Bayless would be the Ref for this fight if it is in Vegas.

Hopefully not. He let Floyd get away with a lot of clamping his opponents' arms and deducted a point from Maidana for no good reason. He used to be a good ref but I don't trust him now.

Big step up for Wilder. Plus he'll probably have to travel to Russia.

Most people thought Stiverne would ice Wilder, and we saw what happened.

It won't be in Russia. Povetkin has to come to the champion's yard, the U.S.

It's going to be a war where both men will be challenged to the highest degree. No clinching or fouling. Both of these guys are true warriors.

That's not how purse bids work.

Wilder should have picked a better punchbag than Molina to tune up with. That is not going to help him at all in Moscow, and boy he is going to need all the help he can get.

Povetkin shatters Wilder's de****able glass mug. They better get a broom and dustpan ready to sweep up all the glass that will be on the canvas.
