    "Wilder gets ko'd easily"
    "Povetkin easily crushes Wilder"
    "Wilder, all he does is crush cans, he has no experience"

    So reminiscent of PRE-JAN 17 2015.

    Exactly what people said b4 his fight with Stiverne. He destroyed Stiverne.

    Just checked, he wasn't down but really stunned with the first right hook, and didn't seem to be able to defend himself, stoppage felt right to me. Wilder might have stopped him if he didn't fight so cautious too.

    Stiverne has a granite chin but Wilder punches absurdly hard.

    If Stiverne didn't hold his hands up the entire fight, he would have been ko'd. :yep

    I meant if Wilder didn't fight cautious after rd2 but yeah, agree with the second part. :lol:

    Povetkin has a decent chin himself.

    But probably not good enough to absorb all the bombs that Stiverne took.

    Hell no he wouldn't.

    That right hand and that flurry in r2 would have had Povetkin seriously hurt. :deal

    At the same time povetkin is a much better overall fighter compared to stiverne. Much more advanced skills. More explosive and not as reckless defensively. A much more threatening stylistic threat that could definitely stop Wilder.

    Tough fight imo.

    That's what they said about Stiverne, they claimed that he was going to be far too much for Wilder.

    I've watched many of Povetkin's fights.

    He's really good but he's just not good enough for Wilder imo.

    Stiverne is a joke compared to Povetkin.

    Not what people said before the bout, I already knew this would happen. :yep

    Wilder ducks someone until he fights them. After he fights them, the opponent is garbage.

    Ahem "Floyd" Ahem. :yep
