Comments Thread For: WBC: Deontay Wilder Has To Face Alexander Povetkin Next

[beez721]

i still find it amazing people are writing off wilder. people are over valuing povetkin like crazy i agree povetkin will be favorite but i think wilder can absolutely beat povetkin

wilder definitely has a punchers chance but I think odds favor povetkin by a descent margin. hes a much better combination puncher and has much better balance. wilder looks so vulerable when hes getting attacked and looks like hes fighting on stilts. I just cant see him taking povs body to head attack. hes going to have to land something huge early imo or povetkin will chop him down

[beez721]

wilder by a "shutting all u hater up making u coming up with more excuses" KO

if povetkin is getting rocked by the hucks of the world the longer taller stronger younger wilder is going to body him...he's dead meat when wilders ups the pace and output..

75/25 fight for wilder imo
povetkin cant win decision..can only win by ko or a decision due to multiple knockdown

wilder can win by ko, decision, and by knocking him tfo..'

LETS NOT FORGET MIKE PEREZ LOOKED LIKE A PUT OF PUDDING VS POVETKIN..NOT 6'7 220LBS

povetkin was at his worst that night and has beaten a handful of better fighters than huck impressively. you think wilder hasnt been down and hurt by crap opponents? hes had more than just one bad night and hasnt beaten anywhere near the opposition povetkin has. hell,,,he may catch povetkin and knock him out but he should definitely be the underdog as povetkin is more skilled and proven

Why not? Not a whole lot in that division, get to it, find out.

[BWC]

He also had the workrate of a slug. Come on man...

Wilder still threw over 100 more punches against stiverne than Sasha did vs Huck. And stiverne threw 50 more punches vs wilder than. povetkin did vs Wlad. Getting destroyed lowers your output

[beez721]

Wilder throws a ton of punches and lands a good clip. No way Sasha wins a decision. Wilder will just bop him from range the whole fight and prob finish him..

povetkin is a much better combination puncher than wilder and works the body better. wilder's mostly jusat the basic one two puncher. dont understand why on earth people dont think povetkin could win on points. he has the better fundamentals and I could easily see him winning a clear cut ud if he doesnt stop wilder

[beez721]

It kind of shows what a dud Stiverne turned out to be that supersized Salkas like Molina and Duhaupas both hurt Wilder and Stiverne couldn't come within 10 ft of him.

stiverne is nothing but a lazy counter puncher that just waits for openings and if they dont come he stays in a shell with zero head movement. povetkin is the opposite. he punches in combination and forces openings. dunno why on earth people are comparing stiverne with povetkin. theyre worlds apart. all stiverne has is a sneaky right hand. hes garbage

[beez721]

Wilder will win on points and hits just as hard as Wlad. Povetkin is in for a horrific beating against Deontay. I'd say Stiverne hits harder than Sasha and he didn't even bother Wilder..

wlad has proven his power against good chins some of which had never been dented before. most of wilder's kayos have been against either cans or guys without good punch resistance. wilder may hit as hard as wlad but I think the evidence points to wlad bein the bigger puncher. wlad hides his right hand well behind the jab whereas wilder telegraphs his. id much rather be taking shots from wilder than wlad

Great News! Looking Forward to it!

[Tobi.G]

This will be a very good fight and will tell us where Wilder stands. If he dominates Povetkin then he has to be taken seriously.

Absolutely! But Povetkin knocks him out.

[SN!PER]

......unless Wach wins.

But an earthquake destroying Beijing is as likely as the big ox beating Povetkin.
