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

[Sledgeweather17]

Wilder only knocked Szpilka out because the Pole got his feet messed up, got caught square and Wilder managed to land a punch that he didn't see.

Up until then, the chinny Szpilka seemed to handle Wilder's power without any issues.

Props to Wilder for getting him out of there, but it certainly wasn't an impressive performance.

Lol, that's a pathetic excuse. Szpilka wasn't handling anything. Only reason he survived was coz Wilder wasn't able to get any leverage on his punches. He was overeaching every time he landed punch on Szpilka. It was the first time he had his feet planted in the ninth when he landed and look at what happened.

Also, even though Wilder was reaching when he landed, Szpilka's head was still getting snapped back every time a shot landed, Wilder's power is real, you're just in total denial mode.

I also know what you gonna say when Sasha gets KTFO. You probably got another excuse lined up to play down Wilder's power. Can't believe I'm even having this ridiculous discussion.

Lol, if Wilder doesn't have serious power, than no one in the heavyweight does. It's that simple.

Im telling some you of you guys you are overrating povetkin and overlooking wilder. Povetkin has almost no headmovement and isnt that fast. Deontay will jab him often and hit him with right hands keeping range. And if povetkin gets on the inside he will get hit with hooks and uppercuts. Deontay is too big and fast for him put your money on deontay.

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.

And Povetkin went twelve rounds with Wach, who was only ranked one place above Dehaupus in the rankings.

Nothing special there buddy.

By the way, Dehaupus landed less punches on Wilder than Wach did on Povetkin, even if you stop Povetkin's fight in round eleven.

So who really gets hit a lot here?

[Sledgeweather17]

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.

Lol, and no one has seen Szpilka box the way he did against Wilder before.

Fury wouldn't lose a round against Szpilka? Fury the guy who almost knocked himself out with an uppercut? Fury the guy who got dropped and struggled against a cruiserweight?

Lmao! Please, give me a break! Fury is dog****. How many punches did he even land on Wlad in that pathetic stare down?

If anyone is overated, it is definitely uppercut myself Fury. People acting like Fury is Mayweather or something round here. Unbelievable.

Joshua almost got KTFO by White. Who the **** is fight? What rank is he? Who the **** has Joshua beaten?

You think Wilder would not have blasted White earlier? Guy is sloppy AF!

I can also play this game buddy. Everyone has flaws and bad performances. You think you can point out one incident about Wilder, I can point out tons of **** about 'your' fighters too.

Fact is, you story about Wilder having overated power is the dumbest **** I heard around here.

Guys knocking out 35 of 36 HWs is no easy task, I don't care how good or bad the fighters are. These are big ****ing guys used to taking a lot of punishment from other big ****ing guys. Wilder's KO % is unreal, that's a fact..

Wach was a tune-up for Povetkin, not a title defence.

Wilder is fighting his mando away from home now though, and Povetkin is no journeyman or push over. A lot of questions will be answered soon.

As Wilder raises his quality of opposition it is a fact his power has become more insignificant, take Stiverne for instance the best opponent he has fought, he didn't stop him.

Duhaupas, Szpilka even Molina were able to take his shots, Povetkin is a class above of these cheese ****s. His durability as well as skill I can't see how Wilder stops him.

Povetkin is not Audley Harrison.

I'm not a Fury fan, I'm neither a Joshua too add Povetkin to that list aldo. My favourites right now would be Parker, Pulev, Klitschko, Usyk when he finally makes the transition. Amongst others but I don't have an extensive list of guys I root for.

Scott is actually one of Fury's biggest critics here, but he's got it right this time. Tyson is, without any shadow of a doubt, the best boxer in the HW division right now.

Your reaction to Fury completely bamboozling and shutting out one of the most dominant champions in HW history is just too ****** for words.

Are they used to big power ? I look at near enough every opponent Wilder has ever faced and their isn't really a notable win to get excited over, unless you're reaching. It was the same with Fury, he needs Povetkin to gather respect, if he beats him Ill stand up and credit him with his due, he looked good versus Stiverne but that was very much a case of what Stiverne didn't do al a Klitschko against Fury, hence the reason guys like Fury and Wilder haven't taken their plaudits yet.

In time it will come. Povetkin is on an awesome rip, a victory over him there isn't much denying Wilder, whereas Klitschko looked to have been slowing the past 2-3 year.

Im not sure about best boxer in terms of boxing skill, but he is skilled and with his size and movement adding to his attributes he is certainly no.1 is there a huge gulf, I'm uncertain but he has established himself no.1, deservingly so.

I think he was somewhat unimpressive still in his victory, it isn't by any stretch of the imagination an hollow one. He did enough, he does have holes, Wilder has far far more though and I genuinely believe his power is VASTLY over rated. It's a fact, his power has become less influential as he has raised his competition level.

Would Wilder stop Klitschko ! No chance, would Wlad lose to Szpila, no chance not around. I doubt highly Wilder even stops Fury, in fact I think Hughie Fury with a full camp beats Wilder.
