Comments Thread For: Wilder Won’t Go To Russia For Mandatory Versus Povetkin

Povetkin was at the fight last night, I don't think fighting in the US will be a problem for him. I think a deal will be worked out that will make everybody happy without having to go to a Purse Bid

Wilder still green needs more refining once he does watch out. But a fraud because as champ he won't go to other fighters home country and get robbed and treated bad. All fighters talk of bad travel sparring scheduling food meant to sabotage you. Not Roy who is their clown. Champ has leverage and picks where and he is gradually stepping up competition remember Stiverne was feared. Once refined you can have a bigger poor mans Holmes who beats most

WBC just need to order the purse bid then we will see where the fight is

Szpilka is a C level heavyweight and he still had Wilder tied in knots for most of the fight. Some publications had Szpilka winning when he got KO'd.

Povetkin is an elite heavyweight, so any comparisons between he and Szpilka are bogus.

Awkward Wilder left himself wide open for a KO shot many times last night, but Szpilka was too slow and lacked the power to make him pay. So when he got tired, he made a fatal mistake. If that had been somebody like David Haye in the ring, with his power, speed and agility, Wilder would have been out cold by round three.

If Wilder can beat somebody like Povetkin he'll finally get respect, but a win over Szpilka, who had a hard time against Mike Mollo, is not going to do it for him.

Pretty sure New York is good neutral ground, I am sure the crowd would slant toward Povetkin.

Yea possibly. New York would be pretty even

Fury wasn't the champion fool he had no choice didn't have anything to stand on besides being mando

Yet he's going to go back to Germany and defend his belts.

Fury doesn't care where he fights as long as there's a ring there. That's the difference between him and a lot of fighters.

I mean i understand as the champ, they want to fight at home and gain any advantage possible but i think it would be great to be a world champ and actually travel around defending the title.

I'm not sure about what you're trying to say, but RJJ a clown? He wasn't always old and slow. He is living off of his rep now and it's still worth a million dollars.

Martin has a title belt & Povetkin has nothing-zip

Why would Wilder fight Povetkin who has nothing no belt no fans lost to Wlad via KO? Makes zero sense for Wilder to go fight some commie outside the USA. America hates commies like Povetkin so a Martin vs Wilder fight in the USA would be huge and popular. screw Povetkin that robotic plodding frozen stiff commie nothing. Let Freedom ring for Wilder and martin and let that commie Povie sing-the blues. Haymon is small time and more a pimp than a promoter but these coloreds obey that haymon slime crap that gets dished out and absorbed like rock ******* to Haymon fighters all dimwits. Unless that Russian billionaire pays Wilder $10 million for a Russia fight I'd tell Povetkin to kiss wilders rear end. Martin awaits with the IBF title belt. All Povetkin has is an empty hand.

Fury went to fight Klitschko in germany.

Klitschko fought all around the world, defended his title in the USA and fought his mandatory Povetkin in Russia.

Wilder, the immature bigmouthed clown can only fight in his backyard and is afraid to travel.

You american citizens got the paper champ you deserved. This guy is nothing but a little pussay.

I don't like the idea of a champion going into the challengers backyard because the promoter has more money. Povetkin vs. Wilder should take place in the US.
