Comments Thread For: WBC Anticipates Wilder vs. Povetkin in Early 2016

What's so great about Povetkin? I've only seen him fight 2 or 3 times and to be honest nothing stood out to me about him.

I'd rank Stiverne above Takam and Perez, personally.

Nothing. Wildly overrated. He gasses by round 4, short arms, slow feet.

He can pack a punch if he gets really close, but he'll be ont he canvas before that happens

[NEETzsche]

if wilder's people thought he could beat povetkin they wouldn't be um-ing and ah-ing so much about making the fight

if he could beat povetkin, then it'd be the perfect fight for him. it'd be action-packed, he'd receive a ton of kudos, and he'd be paid even more than he'd get against fury or wlad

He's pretty flat-footed. He has a little better output than Stiverne, but Stiverne also looked a heck of a lot better in fights before Wilder beat the s*** out of him.

I think Wilder will beat Povetkin worse than Stiverne..

He's definitely not flat footed.

Didn't say they were the same fighter. Said they were at a similar talent level. I think Stiverne has better stamina and might take a punch better.

And that's why he lost to Wider on points. Povetkin is a completely different kind fighter, though.

If you don't know the guy, why're you talking about him?

Compared with that aborted version of Stiverne that Wilder beat, Povetkin is in another league.

This is typical of the WBC making this statement.

They know they have ****ed up, they went too far in their quest to create a paper American champion and now realise that the only way to win back some credibility is by throwing Wilder to the lions...


Bye bye Wilder

[BrometheusBob.]

If Wilder actually faces and beats Povetkin, and Klitschko presumably also beats Fury, then Wilder vs Klitschko could be real big.

...But I got Povetkin.

Povetkin cant compete with Wilder from a physical standpoint. Perez hasn't been the same since he put that guy in the hospital. People are over reacting to that win. Perez looked like he just smoked a blunt in the dressing room. Povetkin is going to struggle getting to Wilders chin. I see this fight being a one sided beating.

Yeah Perez looked a lot like Chavez going into his fight with Martinez.

Oh wait...

Yet somehow you're more impressed by wilder knocking out guys not even ranked in the top 50. Take your black supremacist **** somewhere else phaggot.

^^^THIS!!

Support for Wilder at this point can ONLY spell racism!

BUM...

SQUAD!

[VG_Addict]

From what I've seen, Wilder doesn't do well with pressure. He didn't look comfortable when Firtha came at him.

Wilders taller, longer, better jab, and the harder puncher. What physical characteristics were you talking about?

You are comparing a world-class, state of the art, Gold Medalist athlete to a basketball reject promoters scrubbed off the carpet and turned into a boxer so that guys like you have someone to cheer for. LOL.

There is no way in hell clumsy caveman brawler Wilder can endure Povetkin's slick inside combinations. My God, gramps, it's 2015, the world exists.

You don't pay a basketball reject to beat on rural farmers and call him "the best of the best" anymore. We got laser-precision Russian superathletes now.
