Joshua had like 10 fights and little pro experience. Wilder had 34 fights or whatever was gonna fight for a paper title. That tells you about Wilders oppostion. After 30 some fights hes still fighting what novice pro's are fighting .
No nut hugging here, just a realist. Stay busy fights are better than just sitting around and losing your edge. The Wach "tuneup" did nothing for Potvekin. I believe they just want Wilder to sit on the sidelines and get a little rusty. It's just a chess match to see who is caught unprepared. If I was Potvekin, I would have avoided wach and just took on Wilder in January. The more experience Wilder gets, the more dangerous he'll become.
Wilder's 26th September voluntary defence was scheduled weeks before Povetkin-Wach announced. The reason the announcment of Wilder-Duhaupas came after the Povetkin-Wach announcment is because Wilder's camp waited until a month notice to find an opponent for their scheduled date. And if Wilder let Povetkin dictate, he'd have fought him on May of 2015 and got a 10 mil. Euros of a payday.
I can't believe so many ppl are still defending this clown! Back a real heavyweight! Jennings!! Wilder chose, Molina!!!! As his first defense! Then Duhaupas nobody outside of the ten hardcore fans of boxing in France heard of and now TBA a month from the fight. And all his nut huggers want to bang on Glazkov. News flash Glazkov isn't that good either and who doesn't have a back up plan in place in case he fight fell through. Especially when Wilder's team had to know something could happen since the Wlad-Fury bout was happening. Wilder is a clown and his management team is amateurish. Stop defending him at all costs. Molina, Duhaupas and now TBA - pathetic. No excuses
You're being ridicuolus dude. Jennings is fighting Ortiz in a couple of weeks, but he was offered the same fight for october, for the GGG-Lemieux undercard and It was a PPV event. Why do you think he refused that to take the exact same fight in a smaller event just a couple of months later?
Don't mention Jennings a real fighter in the same breath as that Clown Wilder. Jennings has fought, Wlad, Perez,Szpilka, Fedosov, and is now fighting the dangerous Ortiz. All that in far fewer fights than The Clown. And with almost no amateur background compared to the "Olympian"
Yup. I have no idea why the Wilder nuthuggers don't get behind Jennings if they're looking for an American to back. Wilder makes them look like utter fools and has been since the very outset of his career.
Wilder-Duhaupas was signed , sealed and delivered before OCT - the month the WBC ordered him into Negotiations with Povetkin. Povetkin knew this , yet scheduled his tune up for NOV. He went against the WBC rules and wrote himself out of the picture for an entire year. You waith if you are the manadatoy challenger. The champion does not wait on you. You want to believe , or think - Wilder will be allowed fight bums for the rest of his career . Wake up son. The WBC are enforcing the mando. Wilder wants to defend the belt. He is not dropping that belt. Right now Povetkin is the one who has dodged the fight . No spin will change that absoulte fact. This is how the sport works. Don't be a moron like the long count. Be the man you came here to be.
Povetkin fought in May. When Wilder scheduled to fight Molina in July, it was common knowledge Wilder was also going to fight at the end of September and also by the end of January - which is the latest the WBC wanted the mandatory to take place (a year from when he won the title). Povetkin could've had the September date. There were four months between the Perez fight in May and the September date (that went to Duhaupas). Povetkin wasn't doing anything. Povetkin could've had the January date, too. That's when EVERYONE thought they would fight AT THE LATEST. He last fought in May. He had plenty of time to prepare for that, too. Instead, Povetkin decided to fight in November in Russia against Wach, and then he said January was too soon, so the WBC pushed back the mandatory (at Povetkin's request) and allowed Wilder another mandatory in January. Wilder is the ONLY one sticking to the original schedule. Povetkin is the one who blew everything up by scheduling a tuneup in November. Povetkin's the one in no hurry. Wilder's in the gym right now getting ready for January. What's Povetkin doing? It isn't training, that's for sure. :-( Wilder just wants to keep fighting. Povetkin wants everyone to sit around and get fat like he is until HE (Povetkin) is ready to fight again.
What are you talking about? The guy claimed Wilder's defence vs Duhaupas was scheduled BECAUSE Povetkin scheduled the Wach fight, which was far from the truth. Povetkin's camp already made official offers for the spring and fall of 2015, Sasha even said he wouldn't fight until he gets Wilder, but once they realized they couldn't get Wilder in 2015, they planned to make the fight for april/may of 2016 and stay busy in the mean time. You may not lke it, but it is what it is. And I've always said I was okay with Wilder taking another voluntary in Jan. as long as It is against someone decent lik Takam, Jennings, etc.
Wilder had a broken hand. He wasn't fighting anyone in May. And Povetkin scored a one-round KO in May. Why didn't he just fight Wilder in September or January? Why did he take the Wach fight in November? Why did he do that if he knew he wouldn't be ready to fight in January if he faced Wach? Povetkin's the challenger. Wilder isn't. Wilder keeps defending the WBC belt, while Povetkin takes off months at a time, schedules a non-sensical tuneup with Wach at the oddest time, and then asks for a delay in "challenging" for the title because he isn't ready. And then he takes off for the holidays. At some point, the WBC is going to tell Povetkin to sh*t or get off the pot.
I mean obviously it makes more sense to you because you're a Wilder ****rider atsch If Jennings was truly afraid of Wilder he wouldn't pass up the fight for a high risk low reward opponent in Ortiz. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? :huh
Povetkin COULDN'T get the september date. WBC stated they wouldn't order the purse bids until OCTOBER, so after Wilder scheduled the September 26th date, Povetkin's camp decided to make the fight for the spring of 2016 and stay busy in the mean time. If Povetkin is the one who's in no hurry, why did Ryabinsky made a 10 mil. euros of official offer? And if WBC wouldn't order the fight until october, how could Povetkin get the september date?
