Will Deontay Wilder 'duck' Alexander Povetkin?

[LacedUp]

Why the hell would Povetkin wanna go to the states to fight Wilder??

Better turn out in Russia, more money, fairer scoring, judging and testing, as opposed to the United States of corruption..

American is a wrestling nation now, no more boxing to see there lol

Sure elroy. Why would the challenger go to the champions country?

Last time Povetkin fought for a world title in Russia I don't seem to remember him getting a fair ref, that's for sure.

Wilder has been to Russia before right? I don't see why he'd be scared at all. I think he believes he can beat any man out there incl. Povetkin.

He also just had the WBC belt tattooed on him, so I can't see him giving it up

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

What the hell?

You swallowing that garbage or you just expect us to?

All this time, what with all the bum-busting and the good opponent ducking, now the baseless and ironic accusations... All this time my man Wilder has just been misunderstood.

He had nothing to do with it, it's his management!

So what your basically saying is that Wilder is a total ****ing ****** who can barely tie his shoelaces together and probably can't even read his own contract let alone be legally capable of signing it himself LOL.

Idiot!

Wow, you're the real idiot if you think all boxers call the shots, champion or not.

Povetkin is Wilder's mandatory challenger and Deontay has expressed his desire in facing him. Honestly, I think it's far fetched to think that Wilder will duck this man.

In what scenario would this happen? Would Wilder drop the WBC title? I don't think so. This title is like a bargaining chip or lottery ticket, cash it in for millions of dollars. If he doesn't have a title, then he has no bargaining power.

Also, I don't think Povetkin will step aside. He's fought the best opposition out to get this title shot - his title run was planned right after the loss to Klitschko.

Another good thing is Povetkin is game for having this fight in America.
His promoter said they have no problems with it.

No way. Wilder wants to keep the belt and Povetkin wants the belt to get another shot at Wlad.

Plus Wilder is a horrible match-up for Povetkin. Povetkin struggled horribly against Wlad's length and jab. Never got close to him really. Povetkin is a smaller guy then Stiverne and we saw Wilder just teeing off on Stiverne all night. Povetkin will try to bum rush Wilder and will just eat jabs and massive right hands or get tied up. I see this fight as surprisingly one-sided..

No he didnt.

Yeah.... he did.

Maybe so, I am a big fan of both fighters... but after Povetkin dealt with Wlad, don't you think he learned a thing or two from fighting him (taller, longer reach, reach, etc) ?

Wlad was able to push around Povetkin quite easily because of weighing more and the height.

All Wilder has is height and reach, not weight because Povetkin weighs more than him. Wilder won't be able to push him around as easy as Wlad did.

This fight will be much better than Wlad vs Pov IMO, personally, I think Povetkin will knockout Wilder within 10.
