    If Jennings takes the fight with Wlad then the WBC will order Povetkin-Perez as a final eliminator to take his place.

    Agreed.

    Perez really p*ssed away his talents.

    Hits a bit harder and gasses out less.

    If both are "switched on", this could be the greatest HW fight in years.

    Yes it'd be a fantastic fight.

    But that is taking the Perez from the Mago fight. Since that, he has looked damaged goods, unfortunately.

    Still if this were to happen, props to Povetkin for bouncing back from the Klitchko loss in style.

    Great fight. Perez still has vast untapped potential. More so than any other fighter out there. Unfortunately his new trainer is Adam Booth so he won't unleash that potential. Booth is just a leisure centre gym trainer who has rode on the pig tails of naturally talented boxers. Povetkin late KO.

    Yip agree that it could be a good fight but also agree with the comment on Booth.He does not allow his fighters to engage much and are fairly lacklustre, as far as I know though Booth was only in his corner vs Jennings as GGG had a fight the same night....does anybody actually know what Perez is up to? Im in his home city and there aint a whimper about him,needs a handy fight to get the confidence back.

    Booth worked wonders for Andy Lee's stamina issues, if he could at least get Perez conditioned then thats something.

    Perez is working with Robert Garcia right now though as far as I know

    Love this fight.

    I'm glad to see Povetkin living up to his earlier promise and overcoming the Atlas fiasco.

    Lmao look what Povetkin has to go through to get his shot and what Wilder had to go through for his lmao! What a joke.

    Aside from that great fight.

    Perez is vastly overrated Povetkin by late KO

    The WBC convention - said if Jennings takes another fight (Klitschko without saying it by name) then they will have there number two contender face their number four contender in an eliminator for the next mandatory fight for their belt.
