Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter: Deontay Wilder Fight Will Happen in Russia!

[PunchyPotorff]

The most anticipated HW fight going now, and plus we'll get Fury/Klit roughly the same time. Unless Wilder can somehow lose the jitters, he's getting blown out in 3 or less. He gets nervous enough in Bham... imagine him in Russia? He'll probably KO himself like Fury nearly did in one of his early fights. No matter, he's getting his rear steamrolled.

[PunchyPotorff]

Exactly.
All the crying in this thread is ridiculous.
Wilder has all the physical advantages in this fight (he has height, reach, youth and better roids). If Deontay can't beat Povetkin then he'll sure as hell never be able to beat Wlad or Fury. Povetkin is past his best and Wilder should be in his prime at this stage in his career. Wilder fans should stop crying because their boy will have to stand up and face the top fighters eventually. He's had more than enough tune up fights.

Past his best? Are you on drugs? Povetkin improves every time out with the past several fights. Try watching some boxing. You'd be amazed at what you can learn.

Wilder calls Thurman: Hey Bro, Can I Borrow Your Car?

Thurman kinda seems like a.mo-ped kinda dude

yea thats how dibella was trying to get it in the Barclays by offering like 50/50. but if Povetkin wins he would make more in his next fight so money doesnt matter

When did Dibella offer 50/50? Link please, actually, nvm, since I already know you're lying I know you won't be able to produce one.

[Sledgeweather17]

do you already bring excuses for Wilder vacating title? hah

Pay him no mind. He's an undercover Wilder hater pretending to be a fan so he can make him look bad.

Wilder fans no he won't vacate. Lol, the man's twitter account reads "You have to be bat**** crazy to think that I would ever vacate my title."

So ask yourself, why would a true Wilder fan be talking about vacating after the man himself said that?

and huck was the Bside! and povetkin just like klit had mad a name for himself in germany and overshined many real germans...

one of the reasons i associate BS german boxing with BS russian boxing..its all to easy to manipulate..there is never a year where a big fight over there isnt blown when someone comes across the pound

Lets not act like it isnt shady over here in the states as well...dude ur hoping Wilder drops that title arent you?

[wlliam]

something tells me Wilder fans are scared their boy can easily lose that fight and they want him to vacate the title lol.

Tiliheels has a list of reasons he should vacate lol

I AGREE THEY ARE DIVAS
"slitting the money up" tells me wilder and his promoter offered them fair money and they took less just to go to a purse bid they knew they could outbid on even if they lost money...

all they want is for wilder to drop...

I actually disagree. I don't think these guys wanted the fight to be in Russia, nor did they want the purse bid or to win it for that matter. I think they were playing checkers and Wilder's team were playing chess.

You have to take everything that has been said since even before the fight became a possibility to realise what I'm saying.

When Wilder won the belt from Stirvirne, he said that he wants to be an active champ and that he wants to travel across the world and defend his title in many places.

But then after beating Szpilka, he had the choice to duck Povetkin for a unification with either Martin or Fury, but instead called out Povetkin and told everyone he has eyes only for Povetkin next, and in the same interview he said he wouldn't go to Russia because Russia is too cold.

After that, a week or two later, he reiterates that he isn't afraid to fight on anyone's backyard, and a month later he tells everyone who thinks he would vacate his title for any reason whatsoever would have to be out of their mind.

Think about this sequence of events carefully. Apart from the, 'Russia is too cold' statement, do any of Wilder's words even remotely imply that Wilder would ever vacate his title?

The obvious answer of course is no. He even spelled it out on his twitter account after the purse bid.

I think that Wilder's team planted the idea that he would vacate under the right circumstances into Povetkin's team knowing that Povetkin's team would move heaven and earth to fulfill those conditions. This way, Wilder gets his dream to defend the title across the globe, gets a massive payday, and Haymon aint gotta fork out no cash whatsoever in the process, all while Wilder, hopefully, gets a big scalp to boost his resume and reputation.

You gotta look at how Povetkin's team reacted as well. All the things that Rabyinski has been saying about Wilder. He said he thought that Wilder would vacate, and he sabotaged negotiations so that he could get to purse bid after he and his team had already said they wanted to fight in the US, or didn't mind doing so.

During the negotiations he was always dangling the threat of winning the purse bid and taking the fight to Russia, but Wilder's team didn't buckle under the pressure and kept calm and composed.

I think Wilder's team played Povetkin's team, and I think Rabyinski realises that now and he's pissed. I think the reason he was still open to the possibility of the fight going to America even after winning the purse bid was because he realised that that Wilder was never going to vacate and that he was trying to cut a deal instead, but Wilder's team probably said no it's fine we'll go to Russia.

I could be wrong on many things, but what I'm not wrong about with certainty, is that the fight is happening and it is happening in Russia. No one is going to vacate their title. If anyone pulls out it will probably be Povetkin.

Past his best? Are you on drugs? Povetkin improves every time out with the past several fights. Try watching some boxing. You'd be amazed at what you can learn.

Sure kid, he's in his prime at 36 years old after 12 years of pro fighting.

[wlliam]

Of course they do. Wilder has the chicken legs but the real chickens are his fanboys.

Wilder stands the same chance to beat Povetkin as does Povetkin to Wilder. Wilder has such a significant reach advantage that it shouldnt be overlooked...even if he was as low as a 14-1 underdog
