Comments Thread For: WBC Anticipates Wilder vs. Povetkin in Early 2016

[beez721]

Povetkin cant compete with Wilder from a physical standpoint. Perez hasn't been the same since he put that guy in the hospital. People are over reacting to that win. Perez looked like he just smoked a blunt in the dressing room. Povetkin is going to struggle getting to Wilders chin. I see this fight being a one sided beating.

are you serious? just because wilder has height and reach over povetkin doesnt make him more physical. povetkin has much better balance and fundamentals than wilder. the only think wilder may have over povetkin is one punch power. wilder has never fought a guy that can rip combinations from body to head like povetkin and he always looks confused when being attacked. wilder's lack of quality opponents on his way up is going to come back to bite him in this fight. his only chance is getting in a huge shot early. he doesnt have the legs or chin to be able to hold povetkin off for 12 rounds. wilder is too top heavy and povetkin is going to chop him down like a tree. wilder looks like a man fighting on stilts. id be very surprised if wilder were to beat povetkin

Why is Wilder being allowed 2 voluntary defenses?? Both K bros have never taken more than one voluntary defense.

[Easy Work.]

Wilder is not on Povetkin's level. Just a protected tomato can who fit the job description for US heavyweight champion.

It's an insult to Povetkin to even ask him to fight this lanky clumsy oaf who gasses after 2-3 rounds.

he did show he can go 12 in the stiverne fight and that was a good win. So you cant really call him a tomato can. But he does need to beat povetkin to prove the doubters wrong again. it will be a good test for him.

I still think wilder is very untested considering how dreadful stiverne looked in that fight. povetkin will be worlds better than any of wilders opponents. will be interesting to see just how good or bad wilder really is. povetkin will surely put a hell of alot more pressure on wilder than hes ever dealt with before

Pretty much this. Wlad couldn´t keep Povetkin on the outside in the early rds, no way Wilder can. Difference here is Wlad knew how to deal with it. Povetkin KO 3.

I can't wait for Povetkin to end this hype job.

As I said elsewhere, I hope the fight is made in Alabama.

I'd love to see the look on Wilder's idiot fans' faces when Povetkin destroys him.

We both know Povetkin is going to get killed. You can take your position with the hope that you get lucky on your pick. So later you can scream see I told you. And when you lose no one will remember your ******ed ass pick anyway. It's a win-win situation for you. Way to go out on a limb.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Cus you're a ****in ******. Wilder can't even beat up Molina, foh phag.

What fight did you watch?

Povetkin will destroy Wilder.

Everyone knows that the only purpose of the second voluntary defense is for Wilder (and his people) to bank a little bit more cash off of his 'champion' status, before his execution when he has to fight Povetkin.

Wildman can't run forever.
