Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Coach: I Know The Weaknesses of Deontay Wilder!
Ivan Kirpa, trainer of Olympic gold medal winner and former WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin, is already studying the recent fights of WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder.
I'll pay attention if someone can link a story of him saying "I have no clue on how Sasha can beat Klitschko" before he fought Wlad. Probably thought he had all the answers there too.
I'm pretty sure i can beat Wilder myself, and I don't train, and I'm 5'8, but then again I am very confident in my natural ability. Im sure Povetkin, who trains regularly can find a way. We'll see.
He has lots of weaknesses but at 6'2 can your guy exploit them ? BUM SQUAD is tall and fights tall. Doesn't look good for Povetkin.
Povetkin is going to need to use head movement and get inside on Wilder. I'm still not sold on Wilders chin and we all know Povetkin has power. This will also be Wilders first fight with an elite Heavyweight.
Even a blind man can see Wilder has some serious flaws. At times he looks like a man who took up boxing two years ago...BUT can Povetkin exploit them? That's easier said than done.
Wilders probably thinknk "so i gotta keep my head tucked into my shoulder when i shoot my right..Thanks for noting that ill work on that"
Hate when these guys(generally speaking) give out too much info regarding strategy in these interviews.
Personally im a little shook this fights official, I thought Wilder was gonna drop that strap. Especially how long he..well i cant say "ducked" now can i? But considering how long it took to honor the mando im surprised its official so im sure theres a little stun in Team Povetkin
