Comments Thread For: Postol Allowed One Voluntary Before Imam Defense

One voluntary?
Nice, time to sort a fight out with Troyanovsky, that'd make a great event over in Russia.

Imam? He's the YOUNG master, he has time. Postol is what? 40? Anyway, lots of options. Isn't Rances 140? OOhhhh.... Broner. This could get real good.

Povetkin beat Perez in the WBC eliminator on May. He then became the WBC mandatory. He's known since May that he's the mandatory and waited until August, after the WBC said negotiations were to start on October, to schedule a Nov fight with Wach. He fought one round in May and waited to months to schedule another fight. Today his team told the WBC he won't be ready until May or April. In the meantime Wilder is staying active. If team Povetkin isn't stalling why did they schedule a fight in November after the WBC ordered negotiations to start on October for a January fight?

You claimed he "keeps doing it" as in plural and then you claim they said it just today. Again what is your source? I also have a hard time believing that Povetkin is stalling by fighting the better competition while Wilder fights the clowns that he has been fighting.

This is the second time he's done it. What source do you need? Was negotiations set to begin in October? Yes. Did hes set a fight after the WBC called for negotiations to begin in October? Yes. Did he tell the WBC just yesterday that he won't be ready until April or May? Yes. That's two times in a row he's delayed the fight that was supposed to hapen in Janurary

Hopefully we don't get a soft-touch voluntary. If he's going the WBC route, him vs. Ruslan/Orozco/Herrera or maybe Giacon/Ortiz/Diaz. He could unify with Troy who just won the IBF belt.

Since you provided no source I looked for it myself and this is what I found. According to an article I read from September the WBC had no problem with Povetkin fighting Wach and as long as he beat him without question he would be Wilder's next opponent.

My question is did they ever negotiate the fight in October as they were supposed to do? Because as I already stated the WBC had no issues with the Wach fight. I have also heard noting about them negotiating and if they had why had it not gone to a purse bid? Now this is where it gets a little fuzzy.

I know damn well that I had heard, well before yesterday, that Wilder was going to fight yet another voluntary before his mandatory. Yet, as you pointed out, Povetkin asked for more time, but when did he ask and why? The answer is that he asked just yesterday. He asked because he sustained a pretty nasty cut in the Wach fight.

So in my opinion there is definitely some shady 5hit going on. Because at the very least if Povetkin wasn't ready in January for what ever reason, the WBC should tell him that he had his chance and move on. Wilder should then be fighting the next available heavyweight within the WBC's top five top as his mandatory.

There are some decent fighters in there such as Glazkov or Jennings. Why not fight them? At the very least they are way better then the still unnamed stiff that Wilder will end up fighting come January.

And once again we will have to listen to Wilder explain to us why a fighter ranked somewhere between 40th and 60th in the world is actually really a sleeper and a dangerous fighter that no one pays attention to. I honestly don't understand how Wilder's own fans put up with the nonsense?

No they never negotiated the fight in October because Povetkin scheduled a fight AFTER THE WBC SET THAT DATE!!! What source do you need? It's common sense that the WBC won't order negotiations to begin before a guy has a fight, they'll wait until after the fight. Povetkin has been the madatory since May. All he had to do was schedule a fight in September or October and we'd be getting this fight in January.
