    I don't see how Duhaupas is any better than Hammer, although the Wilder fanboys would probably try to argue otherwise. Both are operating at the same sort of European - fringe world level. Duhaupas/Hammer/Charr = all pretty much the same.

    Anyone siding with Wilder recognize that in 40 professional fights he has fought just 1 top 10 fighter. And he was an Olympian just like Povetkin.
    And he has more total pro fights than Povetkin.
    Povetkin was fighting that around his 14th pro fight.
    Povetkin's resume dumps all over Wilder. And had they fought Povetkin likely knocks Wilder out.
    Hammer was actually a better opponent than Wilder's mandatory the washed up Stiverne.
    Povetkin not getting any younger I didn't see today's fight but I would guess at 38 going on 39 you are bound to show signs of decline.

    I wish I got along with Mary Jane. Unfortunately I'm cursed with that uncommon sort of brain chemistry where I'm not wired for THC to provide any pleasurable effects. Just paranoia, migraines, nausea (and yes I realize they literally prescribe it to counteract nausea in like chemo patients, but I dunno what to tell you. Makes me feel like I'm gonna throw up) and that annoying cotton mouth. Doesnt matter whether sativa or whatever. Smoked, edibles...just have never had a net positive experience with it. Just not for me. Sad because it seems to make lot of people happy and with my anxiety and bevy of chronic physical pains it sure would be nice to have it to fall back on now and then (although I could never see fully embracing the whole "420, duuuuuude" stoner culture ..i think Snoop Dogg and the Grateful Dead are overrated and patchouli stinks)

    I was well impressed with Povetkin, threw lovely combos but it's hard when your opponent has a high guard 95% of the fight, to me he doesn't seem like he slowed down much, still a massive threat to anyone and I'd favor him over anyone but Joshua at 50/50

    Well, it doesn't sound like I missed much after perusing the RBR.

    A clean Povetkin is a beatable Povetkin, feed him to Wilder, Parker or AJ.

    Get his career over with, its over, two back to back borefest decisions, without the PED's Sasha is very human.

    Now that Huck has moved up, I want to see that rematch, Huck deserves his revenge.:ggg

    It could all be an elaborate rope a dope rouse to lure in Wilder mind you.

    It`s interesting. Klitschko also start decline after 36, before that he was on top shape, same for Povetkin.
    Povetkin best version was probably after Klitschko lose and changing coach 2014-2016.
    Same goes for Klitschko, after 2013 and Manny death, he show sign of decline in speed, timing, feet, stamina, workrate, and even power.
    He was exactly 37 years back then ...
    Against Jennings and Pulev in the end of 2014, 2015 he definitely was not the same fighter.
    So i expect the same happen to Povetkin. Maybe to have 2-3 good matches, and if not end his career, to start losing, like Wlad.

    Stoner culture is awful and embarrassing, in my opinion. I can't stand it, not goofball movies that glorify weed or the general
    "culture" you get when you walk into most smoke shops. I can't stand either. It's not something to put on a pedestal and laud loudly.

    Sorry for your lack of positive experiences though... That's actually a big bummer. Most people can get at least some kind of relief through it, be it one way or another.

    Hammer got completely destroyed by Wach. Hammer would be lucky to last 7 rounds with Wilder. Also, Povetkin isn't destroying any top fighters at this point.

    Povetkin vs. Klitschko II, right now - what happens?

    I for one would like to see the clinchless version of that.

    Povetkin of tonight vs. the Wlad that fought Joshua (if he fought that same way) sounds pretty exciting.

    So a roided up Wach hits harder than a roidless Povetkin. Interesting.

    Also kind of a bummer watching Sasha go back to tirelessly bashing on people instead of producing knockouts. He was on quite a roll for a while there.

    It just exposes the actual reality that age has very much caught up with him. Going to be tough going from here on in, he's only going to get older.

    He's also an old man like you, and had a guy who showed up only to spoil and survive in front of him. :)
