Alexander Povetkin vs. Deontay Wilder

[HEND]

And no way that this fight would be this obvious like the poll is. The odds would probably be around 55-45 for Povetkin or something (close fight as I said) but no way it's a 70-30.
I'm not that surprised though since this forum lately became a "Russia fansite".

If Wilder can keep Povetkin at range with his jab he wins, if not he gets knocked out. The latter is the more probable outcome imo.

[SN!PER]

Povetkin needs a knockout to win. He's not outboxing the more mobile Wilder considering the difference in reach advantage.

I give Povetkin credit for his chin. He might go down, but I believe he'll get up and keep coming forward.

The way I see it, it's either Povetkin KO or Wilder UD.

Pulling shit strait out of your ass. Stiverne has never been KOd or dropped (outside of a comically early stoppage that you can youtube if you like), and Wilder went in there to outbox Stiverne not bomb him out, so how the **** did you quantify Wilders power from that fight??

I guess Wiladimir Klitschko doesnt have elite level power either, considering he couldnt KO Povetkin

Povetkin and Stiverne both have iron chins, that's a given..

But let's not pretend that Wilder was holding back his power for 12 rounds so he could safely outbox Stiverne! You make it sound like it was a master class or something..

Wilder BOMBED him all night.. Flush! Unprotected! And STILL could not put him away!

What's more, Povetkin mounted a gallant effort vs Klitschko..

Stiverne was GRAVELY ILL! Wilder failed to put away a guy not even fighting back who needed to be in hospital. not a boxing ring!

There is considerable doubt as to whether Wilder could REALLY even BEAT STIVERNE! Under healthy conditions, let alone Povetkin!

Yes. I see it as a 60-40 fight, with Povetkin the more likely winner.

[Money Shot]

Thing is, if Wilder was the real deal he'd be fighting a real fighter and not a journeyman next month. Povetkin would never fight a bum like Molina, the man fought Larry Donald is his 13th outing, a guy with a pedigree way above anybody on Wilder's resume. Wilder's defense makes Wlad's much criticised outings vs Pianeta and Mormeck look like high risk.

Wilder is extremely dangerous... especially with those chicken legs of his.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lol, exactly he should be doing squats, getting on the stairs and putting 20 lbs on his legs. He should be coming in at a cut 240. I'd like to see Wilder knock Tyson Fury's head off and build up his legs before fighting Povetkin. He needs to work to the body too. He knows how but just won't do it like so many other fighters

Yep and that's about ****ing right!

There is only one way to describe the record of Deontay Wilder in this day and age...

Total Bum Squad!!

I mean, this has happened all through history, guys have become paper champions with bummy records since boxing began or atleast been "undefeated" having fought nobody.

But I think Wilder has taken the absolute cake now.

If American's had any sense of guilt they would boycott this fight as a total embarrassment to the sport!

Yes, his weak opposition makes one wonder why his management has so little faith in him.

Vlad was KTFO by weak opposition.
A GGG fan should not use the words weak anywhere near the word opposition.


Wilder has you worried,rightfully so.
He is poised to destroy Vlad and Povetkin.
