Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter: I Think We'll Reach Wilder Deal Without Bids

Be honest man. Your scared shi.tless of this fight happening. But knowing you once Wilder ices this euro trash you will be calling Povetkin a bum.

Read all my other posts about this fight AFRICA. IF the fight is ever made, bum squad wins. But he don't want a real #1 contender, he just wants un ranked bums.

Hopefully Ryabinsky can negotiate with Al Haymon ... which would also be in Wilder's clear interest as he wants to avoid going to Russia.

Povetkin to me has the better experience and can make adjustments to taller fighters now...his wins over Takam, Perez, and Wach are impressive...specifically Wach as he learned how to fight against a taller fighter and how to counter effectively.

Wach's terrible though. Povetkin shouldn't have to be making adjustments against a fighter of that calibre.

Just took a look at the middle of Wilders resume lets say from opponent 13-24 (12 fights)
his opponents record was 228 wins (Avg 19 win per fight) and 137 losses (Avg 11.4 per fight) the next 9 were better opponents I guess with 180 wins (Avg 20.0 wins per fight) and 46 losses(Avg 5.1 losses per fight)

His last four opponents have been much better with 99 wins(about 25 avg) and 6 losses(About 1 loss avg)

I'm sure it was careful choosing of opponents as is the name of the game in
today's fighter promotion's (Especially a blue chip guy)

Thinking Povetkin will demolish Wilder IF he can get to the inside, which he is pretty good at. If its an outside fight Wilder catches him with the KO shot and wins it.

Wilder is in a much better position to fight his fight than Povetkin, which means Povs is going to have to take risks in order to land his shots. Wilder's already shown the ability to stick to a disciplined gameplan against Stiverne while Povetkin has traditionally struggled against taller fighters. He's an absolute beast against guys his size, but he doesn't have the fleetness of foot to efficiently close distance against taller fighters determined to keep him at bay. That's why I'm leaning towards Wilder in this matchup. It's not a matter of levels or resume. It's purely a style thing.

Don't be coy with me Africa, how about Eric Molina again ? Or that Donhuapas guy, or whatever his name is, those guys are so far down the line you can't even spell their names right.
