Comments Thread For: Wilder's Trainer: Povetkin Postponed Mandatory, Not Us

[PK3434]

Wilder already had a date set in January. They knew it wasn't going to be Povetkin. No need to lie. If the fight happens it will be in the Spring, and nobody should really have a problem with that.

Povetkin got a bad cut anyway, right?

wilder is quickly becoming one of my faves,what a beast

[Pigeons]

Hopefully the Glazkov rumor is true. Hard to see Wilder struggling to much with him as Glazkov should have losses to Malik Scott and Steve Cunningham already.

Wilder may fight Glazkov next, that's a good fight for Wilder.

Povetkin and Glazkov both have similar reaches at 75", good tune up.

Glazkov is perfect. Top 5 opponent, exact size as Sasha

cmon guy!! this entire ordeal was well documented...he aint foolin anybody. Wilder wanted another optional or voluntary, in other words NOT POVETKIN. Povetkin, not wanting to sit idle chose for an interim while Wilder wanted ANOTHER optional or voluntary...in other words NOT POVETKIN! And now they want ANOTHER ANOTHER "optional" or "voluntary"(doesnt matter what term honestly), in other words NOT POVETKIN...A-FKN-GAIN! And if i remember correctly Povetkin is availavle right now...but, per wilders trainers words, they want "the NEXT highest ranked, available" contender...outside of Povetkin. So bcuzWilder wants to milk this mando for as long as he can(before ultimately vacating to avoid said Mando), Povetkin not wanting to sit idle will surely opt for another...ANOTHER interim bout. In a nutshell, It comes down to Povetkin wanting to stay active while Wilder avoids that mando.

This dude(Wilders trainer) is diverting HARD

LOL at this thread and desperation of Wilder.

All that money in PR spent to try and throw off criticism and THIS is all they came up with?

Wilder should be immediately stripped of the title and it should be handed straight to Povetkin free of charge, Wilder should receive a 2 year ban from boxing.

Failing the above measures the WBC should be sacked as a major body and world title.

Povetkin just fought yesterday. He should be available now, but his team told the WBC that they want more time and that he won't be ready for his mandatory shot until April or May.

Whenever he's ready Wilder will be ready. But since he's not then there's nothing wrong with Deontay making another voluntary defense. Especially if it's against the next highest ranked contender.

someone predicted wilder's camp would come out with this. I forget who.

That poster deserves green for that.

he predicted that they would tell the truth or did he predict they will fight a highly ranked fighter? povetkin said no to january and February...that is 4 months of no ring time for wilder...povetkin should have got off his lazy arse and fought around the same time that wilder did to keep his schedule
