The moment Wilder gets brave and excitable Povetkin will seize his moment and chop this oaf down to size.

Povetkin has to get in close and take away the Jab, luckily for him Wilder Does not jab very well, he has to stay low and small, and avoid the uppercut, he can chop that body and throw over the top. A Chisora defense and style would cause Wilder all sorts of problems,Fury counters this very well with a fast flicking jab, but Wilders wild swings and haymakers would be very hard to land.
If Wilder has a game plan, i would expect him to lean on Povetkin at every opportunity and nullify him up close, while keeping him at range for the straight right hand,and fire uppercuts, as Povetkin comes in. Can he box to a game plan.....?

Klitschko's strategy worked because of his technical ability and skillset, not just because he's a big guy. If Wilder tries to emulate Klitschko he's gonna get KO'd.

pretty sure it worked because he is 6'6 and anytime povetkin came within arms reach of him he grabbed him and held nonstop. what a master boxer. great technical ability and skill like you said

The Klitscko - Im not good enough to out box Povetkin so will just use my size to squash him strategy ??

I seriously doubt they will allow that to happen a second time.

I kinda like Wilder who is good for the HW division, but this childish insane "BOMB SQUAD" howling needs to end.

It looks pathetic if not ******ed.

You would expect a lot more from a guy holding that legendary green belt.

Unfortunately, all the best spoil since it's an option to win in boxing.

That's basically what Floyd did with a 5'5 Pacquiao.

People should blame the ref, boxing comissions, not the fighters.

If the ref allows them, why should them let the other man to beat and hurt them?
You are trying to win but also survive in that ring
