Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Breaks Down Deontay Wilder vs. Alexander Povetkin

[vitali1999]

So why do you hate wilder?

Do I have to spell it out ? In 36 fights Povetkin is barely the second good fighter he has fought. And Povetkin was forced on him by the WBC. All he fights is bums. Which is why he should be yelling out BUM SQUAD instead of bomb squad. Happy now ?

povetkin is a beast on the inside and he knows it. Spilka got inside frequently at a similar size and touched Wilder. This will be no cake walk. That being said Sasha has glaring holes in his d and gets frustrated when he can't get inside. Beautiful style match up and excited for results wouldn't bet on either party

Huh? IS that even English?

Actually, no it isn't. It's called Anguish Language.

I've said it before... Povetkin wins this with an easy stoppage within 3 rounds if he goes full blast from the opening bell. Anything after that leans Wilder. Wilder's biggest problem is the panic button in the early rounds. With Wlad it's that way the entire fight. I expect Wilder to get caught when he's in his early rounds clueless mode. Because he's performed that way the last 3 fights. I think he's hit a wall, or something is causing him to not improve lately. Can't wait for this fight.

Obviously English is not your first language by a long stretch. Not even sure it qualifies as your second one.

I knew one Ukrainian ***, who didn't learn proper English (American English), but spent so much time in US, that forgot to speak proper Russian (he never spoke good Ukrainian to begin with). So he ended up the man who speaks no language ))) We maybe have similar case here...

lol he better have shipped over a freight with bottled American water and US produce.

I wouldn't eat nothing on Russian soil if I was an athlete, no disrespect to any Russian citizens signed up on here. It might be ignorant of me but the doping scandals in that country is a joke.

They may have an issue with doping but I doubt it's any worse than the amount of drugs cheating going on in the US.

Fury was paranoid about the Germans who have no history of cheating. Wilder might as well be Tony Montana paranoid going to Moscow.

So I must have imagined the various dodgy decisions or blatant robberies that have happened in Germany then.

I really like Wilder, I do, but it doesn't look good for him. His last few fights, he's shown MAJOR holes in his defense. He gets touched way too easily and against journeymen/fringe contenders. Wilder was a late starter in the sport and the reason he's gotten where he is now is not because of his skill, but his power has carried him in hsi boxing career.

Povetkin is going to be the best fighter Wilder has ever faced.

Added to the fact that he's fighting in a foreign country. Spells trouble. I'll be pulling for BOMB SQUAD though!

Russia is fine. The US is full of GMO and bull s h i t

They may have an issue with doping but I doubt it's any worse than the amount of drugs cheating going on in the US.

I didn't mean it in an insulting way guys so my apologies in regards to that.

Athletes all over the world are always looking for an edge not just Russia or USA. However in Russias case; being kicked out of the Athletics federation/committee, Lucas Brownes making of a murderer type (pending) case and a Boxer (can't remember off head) successfully appealing after claims of being spiked.

You can see why the doors are wide open for my dig at Russia in sporting terms.

Spilzka is a lot more akward in his movement than Povetkin is and is coming from a SP stance. Watching Povetkin he seems to mule forward so it may be an easier target for Wilder. Either way should be a good fight.

What makes you say that? AJ hasn't fought anyone (please don't mention Whyte and Martin lol), Wilder fought one solid opponent, Stiverne - who by accident, is the only guy he didn't stop.

Wladimir Klitschko is still the hardest puncher at the moment and that's not even up to debate.

Sorry to burst your bubble but not a 40 year old Wlad. He carries good pop but not that concussive punching power.

For me it's simple, It's all about the eye test for e.g. Chocalito is consesus p4p no.1 testament to him has a solid resume. Does he pass the eye test? Is he more skilled than those ranked below him? The answer to that is no!. A better boxer than Ward?.

My eyes tell me Wilder and AJ are the no.1 in power terms because of their match-making and efficiency in dispatching their opponents. Wlad is known to be a predictable one-two, clinch, push down then attack when worn down fighter. Pulev is a nice KO on paper but would Leapi make it out the first round against either of them?.
