Comments Thread For: WBC: Deontay Wilder Has To Face Alexander Povetkin Next

[tiliheels]

We can agree to disagree, I see the fight lasting no more than 8 rounds.. being a brutal KO on either of them. It's a close fight, my heart says Wilder my brains says Povetkin

i dont have a heart in it, but my brains say wilder..povetkin nees a guys willing to stand with him..he needs to be the better athlete imo..and neither of those things favor him here

He's fighting Wach next, who's taller than Wilder and has an iron chin. He's well ahead of curb compared to wilder, while Wilder is getting ready for povetkin fighting "Molina, Duhaupas"

i give credit to wilder on his last win bud duhap was ahead of the curve compared to him...he knew more about boxing sure, but he cant be deontay wilder..wilder is that thing that cant be taught..and wach is not that...

truth is duhap might slice out a victory vs wach..it wouldnt be a domination..i'd like teper vs wilder...not povetkin..but i'm sure we'll get to that

These two are as different as night and day. It makes for a good fight.

You have Povetkin, an Olympic gold medalist who is technical, patient, and very powerful at close-range, but also limited by his reach and foot speed.

Wilder is less experienced, but athletic. He's evolved into an awkward but rugged boxer-puncher who relies on his long reach, mobility, and reflexes.

I'd be impressed if Wilder heard the final bell, Povetkin catches him and stops him in the mid rounds imo.

no it will be early stoppage or none at all..wilder picked up on the shots stiverne was trying throw as well as wat duhap was doing...its only so many shot povetkin will be looking fo with wilder being on teh outside and very high up with those arms picking off shots..

wilder takin stivernes punch tells me he's not going anywhere

Stiverne who was ill, some argue not even 50%? Stiverne who stood there like a punching bag? No...

ok good point i guess..im not a doctor just the guy who watched the fight live..and i saw stiverne land a big hook or 2..i saw him take some mass punishment...i say wilder give him a rematch before the povetkin fight..why not?

povetkin shouldnt be takin another fight if he is so confident that he will beat wilder

Title to be vacated

If Ryabinsky wins the purse bids and HBO gets interested then you're probably right

[IIG]

I don't see it happening. If the issue is forced, Al will make him vacate. Povetkin would beat the **** out of Deontay Wilder, and I think they understand that.

[vitali1999]

All he has to do is box Povetkin and he'll win which he'll do. He'll hold on to that one title, and never face Fury, Klitschko, whoever wins that one.
