Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: My Priority is To Knock Alexander Povetkin Out!

Looking forward to this one. We all know both guys can get Ko'd at any time which makes it an exciting fight. If I was a Wilder fan I'd be nervous for him, one mistake and it's bye bye

I think Povetkin's more likely to make that fatal mistake than Wilder. Wilder can be quite canny when he wants to be whereas Povetkin only tends to fight in one way.

I think that's what he'll do. Box him at range then explode with a quick one two or step in left hook. Jump on him if he's hurt, otherwise go back to boxing. Very similar gameplan to the Stiverne fight.

Pretty much even his trainer said in a video he wants him to box like he did against sitverne. He shouldnt try to a force a KO that might get him KOD. Just box and hell hurt him eventually with that big right hand then its night night.

This will be the start of his 'farewell tour'. 1st stop... getting KOd in Russia. Next up will be the gradual steps downward. Soon it will be Motel 6, 7th on a 8 fight card, memorabilia shows getting 20 bucks for his signed 8x10 (taken before the beer gut), filling 200 capacity halls, collecting cans right beside Bonehead, trading insults all the way down the street....

And ko him he shall.

He's actually not been as effective since the Stiverne fight trying to actually box and over thinking things. He works best when he's aggressive Imo. Povetkin will do what he always does, come out early and try to land bombs. Wilder has taken time to get into his last few fights looking bad in the early rounds, that's when Povetkin will stop him. I said within 4 rounds from the start and I'm sticking with it. I'll admit, the closer the fight gets I'm thinking Wilder could do it
