birdlegs better hope al hymie has some deep pockets elsewise he goes to moscow and trust me birdlegs does not want to go to moscow

Yup. Location is one of the benefits of being the champion.

Seems having the belt means little these days on where a title fight is held.

He shouldn't worry, the fear comes later.

i think wilder beats pov anywhere, pov isnt that good and he is 37 yo now.This perez win was caused by a lucky punch, a real Povetkin you can see in Char or Takam fights where he brawles for 10 rounds and gets hit much. So there should no problem for Wilder to travel to Russia

Povetkin is slow almost frozen and moves like a metal Robot shuffling forward awkwardly. Wilder will be teeing off and measuring Povie with that lethal right hand. Look for a KO in 5 rounds.

That sounds about right.

Interesting fight, a seasoned vet vs a young gun who holds most of the physical advantages.

But highly unlikely to happen in Russia.

More than likely Ryabinsky will negotiate a good deal for Povetkin and they will travel to the US.

Nothing to worry about. WildTurd will probably find a way out of the fight.

No shit it's gonna be different. One has an extensive amateur background and the other doesn't

Basically. .....

Not a stretch to imagine a Russia fight is where the most money is. But then we have Haymon guarding his nest egg, so what will happen? I'd imagine Wilder wouldn't be quite as loud mouthed in Russia, and if Povetkin goes right after him, lights out for chicken legs. Let Wilder get comfortable and the problems start mounting for Pov. But at least the past 3-4 fights, if anything Wilder shows he's getting worse. Not good for a marginal champ at best.

Obviously:
If Wilder takes this fight, Povetkin will be his best opponent by far.
If Wilder wins this fight, it will be his biggest win so far and, later, he will sit back and fight some more cans.
If the fight is in Russia is bad: the ped testing in Russia is awful...
