Yeah not happenening against a short basic boxer puncher, he will get beat down like stiverne there is nothing that impressive about povetkin, hes just solid.

We'll just haveta agree to disagree. Thing is, Povetkin has been improving every fight... and Wilder has been either stagnant or dropping down a notch. It will be an interesting fight though. That's a definite.

Povetkin would murder Stiverne.. Wlad was so afraid of Povetkin he had to clinch the entire fight.. something I don't see Wilder doing.

That's what I'm thinking. We'll see.

Triangle theories dont work in boxing. I just dont see how povetkin is beating a guy who is bigger, arguably more power and speed also with a good jab and awkward style. A good big man beats a great little man.

Yeah but Wilder is basically in panic/clumsy mode for the first 3 rounds. And Povetkin is known to strike early.

Povetkin is well improved since beating Chambers. 2.Why else would Wilder vacate the most prestigious belt in boxing. He knows hes not strong enough to beat Povetkin. Also, nine rounds of clean punching agaisnt Spilka is far from a "one punch ko". Stop hyping wilder up. SPILKA s own body weight ko'd himself by running into that punch. Spilka ATE wilders beat shotz all night.
Anyway, I have Alexander stopping Wilder.

Erm, how was it not a one punch KO? Szpilka wasn't rocked or hurt prior to the knockout; he just caught a right hand flush on the chin and it put his lights out. The fact that it came after nine rounds of back and forth action is irrelevant.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. I still say Povetkin KOs Wilder early rounds.
