    Well he might have knocked wilder out or wilder might have knocked him out.

    They both can bang and it could go either way.

    Fine margins in hw boxing, on another day povetkin might have knocked AJ out. It only takes one shot to change the game.

    Both AJ and wilder have been wobbled and shown they are both beatable. They are only human, not machines and theres a lot of big 17st chaps in this divison who are capable of flattening them on any given day.

    Correct. Deonkey would be on the floor. The difference between Wilder and Joshua is that Joshua managed to make changes from rounds 3 onwards. They were only small changes, but they prevented him from being caught way too much like he was in the first two rounds. Wilder doesn't adapt, he uses the same stance every single fight, and trying the jab, right hand nonsense on Povetkin won't work.

    Those hooks were murder in there tonight, absolutely devastating. Wilder would be in serious, serious bother.

    Povetkin would have stopped Wilder inside 3 rounds!
    Wilder has virtually zero punch resistance, Povetkin had fast hands, threw combinations and closed the distance with great footwork, he would have found Wilders candy floss chin then it’s ‘goodnight and god bless Deontay!

    Same result. Povetkin would put up a good fight, but once he tires Wilder would knock him out.
