Comments Thread For: Wilder: Povetkin Did Nothing To Klitschko - And I'm Faster, Athletic!

]Fury's got two left feet. The fact that Wlad lost to a bum like that just proves my point. [/B]Now Ortiz is a good fighter.

If you really believe that then you need to start watching another sport, boxing isn't for you.

love how wilder only talks about his physical attributes but not about his boxing skills lol

he isnt ****** enough to think he has the technique and skills of Wlad...he is what he is. Wlad is one of the most skill super heavies ever

Pretty sure Dehaupus is bigger, taller, and stronger than Povetkin, and Deontay manhandled him just fine on the inside. If Povetkin thinks he's gonna dominate on the inside (if he can even manage to get in), then he is in for a world of shock.

You must be trolling!

Duhaupus is a low tier journeyman. Christian Hammer, who Fury played with while keeping busy waiting for Wlad, is higher ranked and a better fighter all round than Duhaupus.

Wilder looked like he'd been in a war after that fight, and Povetkin, close in, is on a different planet than Duhaupus. If I said he hits at least 3 times as hard, that would be no exaggeration.

I hope Deontay wins and keeps his date with Fury in the UK, but it's going to take either a lucky punch or a display of boxing like we've never seen from him before for that to happen.

So blasting a guy to the moon and almost ripping his head off with ONE PUNCH = overated power in your eyes?

Lol, you guys should record yourselves and take some time to listen before deciding to post on here, cause some the **** yawl spue is just pure idiocy.

If you said that Wilder has overated skills because he took so long to get rid of Szpilka, that would make more sense, because Szpilka's head, waist, and leg movement totally confused Wilder for the majority of the fight, which is why the fight lasted so long in the first place.

The fight lasted long only cause Wilder struggled to land on Szpilka, but once he got his timing down, he knocked him out with the first clean shot of the fight.

Szpilka tried to get up nearly immediately, it was a good KO. This nonsense about taking heads off is what it is, nonsense.

I'll reiterate for others reading too, Jennings stopped Szpila and wasn't given nearly hal as many problems as Wilder was, and Jennings certainly wasn't losing the fight as Wilder was. Take what you will from that.

I'm looking at Fury and going by boxing ability he is the best in the division right now, he lacks power but I'm absolutely certain he would stop Szpila and wouldn't lose a round in the process.

Szpilka may very well be a good test for the lesser guys like Joshua and Martin, yet I'm not sure what a fight for Joshua would prove as Szpila wouldn't be able to land a punch before being knocked out in the first round. Whyte is a better quality of opponent than Szpilka due to his durability alone.

I'm overrating Wilder's power on the basis of the way in which he is not as crude and lethal as he was when facing the likes of Audley Harrison for thirty fights.

Lest we forget, Povetkin is smaller than Spilka. Also, Spilka and his team admitted that Wilder is physically strong, which is quite obvious.

Povetkin's fans may not want to admit it, but Povetkin knows what he is facing in Wilder.

Wilder by KO rounds 8-10


Povetkin is a quality heavy and if not for Wlad, I always believed Haye or Povetkin wouldve been the man.

Povetkin will be at a 5 inch height disadvantage and a 8 inch reach advantage

He doesnt have a great jab or head movement to work his way inside so he'll be getting jab and right hand all night.

Mark Breland know is a very good trainer and he will instruct Wilder to box from the outside and shoot that right hand down the pipe as he rushes in.

Povetkin will have some success because Wilder gets a little tight early on when he is pressured. He has surprisingly good stamina and a power til the final bell.


Once Povetkin starts to slow down, his abililty to cut off the ring wane and he will begin to get desperate


He will leave himself open for a well placed right hand and will suffer a tko between rounds 8-10

People forget Povetkin is 36, with an extensive amatuer career. He hasnt been in many wars but he definitely isnt the fighter he was when he fought WLAD a few years ago.


It will have some fireworks but I see Wilder pulling it out. Povetkin is not as awkward as splika and also he is not a southpaw. He wont bring all the different angles and range of artur.


Cant wait to see this fight!!!

Good fight for both men!
Wilder will need to use lateral moves and work in and out and make sure he doesn't over extend his shots.
Povetkin needs to be the aggressor which he failed to do against Wlad because he re-fussed to take the chance to win! That bothers me about him and I'm not sure about his stamina either. He has good power but can he punch at a higher rate if he can't get Wilder out of their early?

It's a good match up and the winner needs the winner of Fury vs Wlad so the division has a chance to develop some order regarding challengers.
Maybe the looser's from each bout fight one another? Lets get it going!

Povetkin also hits much harder than Szpilka and is much much better than Szpilka.

Wilder has this, no one can touch BOOOOMB SQUUUAAAD

Wilder is committed to the idea that his athleticism and power will be enough to beat anybody.

While liking world class boxing skills, he has those natural abilities in abundance, plus more stamina than most people, including me, gave him credit for when he was blowing away cans in 2/3 rounds.

[therealpugilist]

If wilders power is overrated, so is Fury's boxing skills lol


Personally I see Wilder as the hardest hitter in the division and Fury is ONE of the best pure boxers

The only thing that fury does is he squares up when he punches and he is so open to a right hand when he throws it isnt funny. I remember a no name dropping him and USS Cunningham.

Wilder lands that shot and its lights out. Wlad is great but not very active and fought tentative. Wilder isnt going to let Fury spoil and mug him while throwing occasional jabs and pot shots.

Fury is the better boxer as ring generalship but Wilder has good stamina and that eraser. Another great match up.


I got Wilder in that one too.


The heavyweights that really have my attention are Luis Ortiz and Black Colossus....any of the top guys get in with them and it might be lights out. Skills and power
