Comments Thread For: Hearn is Concerned: Povetkin is Dangerous Fight For Joshua

[kafkod]

LMFAO! If not signing a contract with no date and venue means Wilder didn't want the fight, then sending the contract over without a date or venue has to mean AJ didn't want the fight, especially when you consider the other things I listed.

come on kafkod.

I'll have one last try .. I don't believe either side really wanted the fight next.

That isn't believable because you are not ******.

The facts point to Wilder wanting it next but Hearn/AJ wanting it after they get DAZN launched and when they can have it in Wembley.

They both failed tests before their fights and had the fights cancelled, then they were both cleared because of insufficient evidence after an investigation by the WBC.

The rest of the story is that Wilder then gave Ortiz another chance and rescheduled their fight, but he didn't do that with Povetkin. Isn't that exactly what I said?

No, that is 100% not correct and I don’t know what “story” you are attempting to fabricate. Potvekin failed TWO tests during a 6 month period in 2016 just prior to the fight. He was then given an indefinite suspension BY THE WBC in 2017. Ortiz popped for a drug that has been known to MASK PED agents once then tested negative for 6 months following the test. Potvekin tested positive TWICE in a 6 month period for the real deal PEDs. Let’s not mince words here. Wilder was set to fight Potvekin IN RUSSIA to defend his title until 6 days prior to to scheduled fight. After beating Ortiz he wants Joshua. He doesn’t duck anyone if that is the angle you are trying to press. He has been making deals and pushing all the fights AJ has been avoiding

Yeah all the Americans should boycott it, that way he will only make $20m, poor guy, such a shame for him. They'll all be getting excited about Wilder vs Dominic 'AJ's leftovers' Brezeale. Oh, but hold on will Wilder risk it? I mean Dom was once a world title holder and he's not ancient, he's only ever tried facing someone with some pedigree once in 41 fights, too soon to try I again I reckon.

1. What is this AJ leftovers supposed to mean? AJ beat Wlad ,who beat Povetkin... so, what does that make this current fight?


2. Hearn is talking about after this Povetkin fight putting on a AJ vs Whyte 2. You cant make this **** up.


I bet you're ok with that fight. All 80,000 screaming fans for two ****ty fights. I see why Hearn always has that ****ty grin on his face. He can sell you anything.

Eddie Hearn, promoter WBO, WBA, IBF, IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs), is concerned with his fighter's upcoming assignment - which is a mandatory world title defense against Alexander Povetkin.

If Povetkin is so dangerous, then why take the fight asshole?

[Boxingfanatic75]

And you can't dodge the fact that if Wilder really wanted it next, and he was really sure of winning it, he would have signed the contract Hearn sent him.

That sure isn’t what Lennox Lewis has to say about the matter

[kafkod]

That isn't believable because you are not ******.

The facts point to Wilder wanting it next but Hearn/AJ wanting it after they get DAZN launched and when they can have it in Wembley.

If Wilder really wanted it next he would have signed the contract without any more delay and cut Povetkin out of the picture.

He knew it would be in a major stadium, in the UK, in Oct, and he would be getting the same money wherever it ended up at and whatever the date.

Ortiz got busted roiding too .. but lets all ignore that ...

The time ortiz got busted for wilder it was bp meds not a ped like sasha got busted for in his wilder & stiverne fights . Plus what does ortiz have to do with what we are commenting about . Sasha got that ko as early as he did because je was roided FACT and duhapauhs had less then a day and was basically yanked from the crowd ... the guy didnt even have boxing shoes or gear of his own so that victory has a serious * next to it .

I'll have one last try .. I don't believe either side really wanted the fight next.

Haymon offered aj 50mil$ they wanted him next . Aj is on record last fall of not wanting wilder till 2019-20 thats FACT then he says offer me 50mil and i sign tomorrow so they did and he refused ... so aj gets his wish of 2019-20 and age wilder out canelo style .. i hope it backfires and wilder ko's him in both fights

You need to get your facts right, fella. Povetkin did not fail two tests prior to his cancelled fight with Wilder. He failed one test just before the fight date and the fight was cancelled pending an investigation.

The investigation cleared Povetkin to fight, because of "insufficient evidence" to ban him, but the WBC ruled that he had to fight a final eliminator with Stiverne to get his mandatory position back. It was while training for the Stiverne fight that Povetkin failed his second test and was suspended.

Ortiz did fail 2 tests prior to fighting Wilder, as a matter of fact. He failed the post fight test after beating Kayode for the WBA regular belt in 2014 and was stripped of the title. He then failed again while training to fight Wilder and the fight was cancelled as a result.
