He was buzzed and his eyes showed it. Honestly, that punch he landed was his saving grace. Artur smelt blood and got reckless. if Povetkin was 6'6 with 83 inch reach like Wilder, I'd bet my house that Sasha wins. All size all day.
Povetkin is more of a bulldozer than somebody who utilizes movement. It will be a different fight. Either Povetkin walks Wilder down or he gets caught with a bomb.
I doubt it. He won't want to trade with the Wilder. If it's gonna happen for Povetkin, it will be off a counter.
Povetkin took every shot by Wlad, who's is leagues above wilder in punching technique and power, yet he was still fighting on. I can't wait for this fight. Also keep in mind that Wilder is Hitt able where as Wlad is not. It's that much more dificult to fight a guy when you do no damage to him, it's very demoralizing
Hell no povetkin gets hit with that he's going to sleep as well. Povetkin won't be able to get inside on wilder who will be better prepared for him.
It's gonna be a very interesting fight for sure. Sasha isn't as awkward and mobile as Szpilka but has better power, better punching technique, better combinations, can work to the body well and he's more durable.
A puszy who has knocked out every fighter he's fought but one you're a joke of a poster. Wilder would kill you in the ring.
I would say that is a possibility with Sasha but more likely I'd hedge my bets towards the later rounds? I would also question Sasha's ability to cope with the size and reach advantage of deontay (thinking back to the Sasha vs wladimir fight-- I know Deontay has not demonstrated the ability to control range with his jab)
