Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetikin Dominates, Stops Wach in The Twelfth

[skinnystev]

i think wilder punches harder and throws more punches than wach but does he have the chin of wach? i don't think so

Was a good performance against a decent 'stay busy' opponent.

Povetkin is my favourite active HW since he fought Klitschko. He's rededicated himself to training and conditioning it seems and is reaping the benefits. Love how he puts punches together.

In terms of the Wilder fight, its very hard to say. I guarantee that Wilder will bring another level to a Povetkin fight than he has been showing. The molina and Duhuapas fights he seemed to be almost treating it like sparring, trying out a few things, fighting a few different game plans etc. Vs. Povetkin, like he did with Stiverne, he will surely have a focused gameplan revolving around jabs, right hands, left hooks and movement.

The longer time goes on the bigger chance I give Wilder to get the W. At the moment I think he gets either beat or stopped depending on his durability.

Great performance by Povetkin. He dominated every round and stopped the iron chinned beast Wach.

The de****able coward Wilder is blatantly ducking Povetkin.

If the fight happens, Povetkin will annihilate the American bum Wilder.

I want to see Klitschko-Povetkin rematch.

Fight may never happen...if Povetkins rich Russian guy wins the bid then Wilder may well just drop the title and PBC can create some bogus heavyweight title for him to hold...

LOL...

I'd want to be paid to watch a rematch, given how absolutely unwatchable,de****able their first fight was

I'm still not sure what to take from this fight. Povetkin dominated and got the win but he looked a lot less effective against a tall opponent than he did against similar heighted Charr, Takam and Perez. He was also having some troubles with Wach's jab, which forced him to leap in with single shots in order to close distance. I suspected this before the fight, but Povetkin seems to be best when fighting guys his own size. Against taller opponents he loses a lot of what makes him good, namely blistering multi punch combos on the inside. Fair play to him, he was way more effective against Wach than he was against Firtha but Wilder could take a lot of positives from this fight.

The way Wach fought Povetkin reminded me of Wlad.. just a real ****ty less effective version. And someone who uses his height advantage and jab to keep the smaller guy Povetkin back, will work. I agree, Povetkin is not at his full potential verse someone who uses these to their advantage.

Regardless of this, I really much doubt Wilder will do much better than Wach. He can fight better, make it somewhat competitive to begin with.. but his chin won't make him last 12 or even 10 for that matter.
