    typical bs response from Klitschko camp. They are too politically correct for their own good.

    I think some of his sparringpartners hit Wlad too hard on the head.
    No way that fight is 50/50. 80/20 more like it in the Russian's favor.

    Wlad is just trolling Ryabinsky, he obviously doesn't like the Russians.

    While I would favor Povetkin I think many here sell Wilder short. Wlad would obviously know better than us since he has been in the ring with both.

    Povetkin cannot outpoint Wilder. Wilder's jab can outpoint pretty much anyone besides Klitschko/Fury/Joshua. It's a matter of whether Povetkin can knock him out or not. Wilder proved vs Stiverne that he can go for 12 rounds taking a few hard punches along the way. Povetkin is obviously better than Stiverne but still 50/50 is a fair assessment for this fight.

    Yeah people seriously underrate Wilder, dude hits like a truck, is big, rangy, and showed his boxing skills are advancing

    I'd say it's a 64-35 fight in Pov's favor, but I wouldn't be shocked if Wilder won

    I think 70/30 for Povetkin but still 50/50 if Povetkin shows up in the shape he showed for Huck.

    I know he's no Dustin Nicholls, but didn't Wlad put Wilder on his ass?

    Basically this, Leoh, and Jab's comments. Povetkin got a much better resume, and skills that seem to go in with vulnerabilities of Wilder, so he should be the favorite. But that was all true of Stiverne too, and we know how that turned out. Povetkin is a tougher test, but Wilder could very much surprise again. He's got some big physical assets over Povetkin.
