Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Explains Why Molina Was Selected

[jas]

Thank god povetkin is next

[sicko]

I'm OK with it as long as the next fighter is BIG. Heavyweight Division is not talented enough to expect these guys to only take big fights every time they fight so in between big fights it is going to be some **** fights. Not different than Wlad going from fighting Povetkin to fighting Alex Leapai after that fight Heavyweight Division is just not that talented

This just a stay busy fight. Expect Wilder to unify or fight Povetkin next.

Leapai was a mandatory.

Seriously. They must be banking on the idea that there's a huge appetite among casual fans to see another 1-punch KO.

They pretty much take whatever Haymon gives them. They're a once a month network with prospect fights and meh

Translation: I HAVE to win this one, and I HAVE to make a killing doing it... cuz I only have one more big payday left after this... and Pov will be dismantling my face... so that's pretty much the name of the game at this point.

Hence the urgency to put on a HW title fight in Sweet Home Alabammie. There will probably never be another opportunity...

Is there really an unanswered question about why Molina was chosen? He's a soft touch for Wilder's first title defense at home. Don't think it goes deeper then that at the end of the day. Nothing to get excited over, but I understand.
