Spilka before the KO

[jmrf4435]

Will povetkin watch Spilkas strategy before he was put to sleep? I felt like Spilka was able to throw Wilder off before the big punch. If Povetkin boxes and doesn't get caught with a large punch, I don't see how Wilders technical skills would be able to compete.

the glass jawed polish was definetly outboxing Windmiller prior to the KO punch

Povetkin's way more skilled with a solid chin. Wilder's days are numbered

Splika is a southpaw, and is more aggressive than Povetkin and more unorthodox....Povetkin will have a hard time trying to get inside, and IMO it will be easier for Wilder to time Povetkin becuase he is used to fighting right handers and will better anticipate whats coming his way

This suggestion reminds me of Berto imitating Mayweather in the Guerrero fight.

hope not

even as he gets older povetkin is still a far better fighter than szpilka is

szpilka strategy just seemed to be physically overwhelming him, neither was really putting on a boxing clinic in there, it was some sloppy ****

i wouldn't say szpilka was more aggressive than povetkin. i think povetkin is much more accustomed to pressing the action. this will either result in wilder folding under pressure or povetkin walking onto something big

Berto was imitating Broner after seeing what he did to Demarco

I think we'll see Wilder get KTFO before we see him fold. He gets a bad rap for having a weak chin or being soft for some reason. IMO he is improving with each fight. I could see Povetkin walkinf into something big before he can completely break Wilder down mentally and physically

Mike Perez the guy Povetkin KOed in 1 round is better than Spilka.

Szpilka did really well with Wilder until he got knocked out. Povetkin will be a different fight, Wilder will look to control the distance and use primarily his jab.
