lmfao, this dudes a bum.....

Yeah it's unbelievable... But not surprising really.

**** even if not a relevant opponent, atleast take on someone like Takam or even bloody Charr for Christ sake!

WHY does anybody want to buy into rank #1 vs rank #55? BS!

You don't choose an iron-chinned opponent right after breaking your hand.

His team did the right thing. If his hand feels 100% after this fight, they'll take on Povetkin at the end of the year.

If Wilder's hand isn't fully healed he shouldn't be fighting at all. He could re-injure it just as easily hitting a journeyman in the head as anybody else.

They aren't doing Wilder any favours at all by putting him back on a diet of bums while waiting for Povetkin. They should be viewing this voluntary as a chance to give him some much needed experience and seasoning against a live opponent who will make him fight.

Povetkin struggled against Wlad's height and reach, so Wilder has the tools to beat him. But will he be able to use them effectively against a pitbull like Sasha, who will push him much harder than Stiverne did?

If Wilder can't take Povetkin out quickly, his lack of experience against live opponents will come back to bite him.

Why did Wilder choose (or Haymon choose) the weakest possible opponent?

Eric Molina (BoxRec #55) has done nothing to earn a shot at the WBC title.

This fight is truly PATHETIC, reminds me of Garcia-Salka.

How about actually watching the fights for once; the last Molina fight is on Youtube even. Molina is a 6'4 240 pound heavyweight who can punch; no one is saying that it's gonna be a life/death fight.

quit trolling

My grandmother would seem like a beast compared to Molina!

Looking good champ, molina gonna get iced. Deontay gonna make a statement in this fight.

Yeah... here's the statement: "I beat a can/minor fringe contender my first defense... cuz I absolutely positively hadda keep my title overnight".

HA!

Oh well, let chik-n legz have his big glossy show in his hometown so his head gets even MORE swollen than it already is. Then he gets to go to Russia where Povetkin will twist him around in he!! for a few rounds before the brutal annihilation.

One thing I'll say for Wilder, he never dials it in. Great work ethic, even if the opponent leaves a lot to be desired.

Wonder if Deontay will do a 'Bowe' after the fight and dump the title in fear of Povetkin.

This is such a farce mismatch....I hope it does the worst ratings in the history of boxing match ratings.....KO1 for Wilder......the odds must be 1,000,000 to 1. Disgusting....
