Can you see why Wilder avoided Povetkin after his fight with Ortiz?

    Laughable. All this talk like Ortiz has the stereotypical Cuban boxing style is nonsense. He's a slightly over weight plodder, with some counter punching ability. He's not a better boxer than Povetkin, nor does he have better feet.

    This is a laughable statement. Perez is a complete scrub. He hasn't beaten anyone of note at either heavyweight or cruiserweight. Perez makes Whyte look like an elite fighter.

    Perez got schooled by Jennings

    Who's talking about a purse bid? I'm talking about drawing power. I'm talking in the realm of a hundred mil. Canelo's situation was totally different than Joshua's. He had no options, Joshua does.

    Schooled? No. He edged it but it was a competitive and fairly close fight.

    Not really, it was a horrid fight, but I thought Jennings rightfully won, IIRC I had it 116-111 for Bryant.

    I had Jennings winning. Yeah it was a bad fight and Jennings won but it was hardly a "schooling." Jennings edged it by winning the later rounds when Perez faded.

    VADA cleared Povetkin, yet Haymon's WBC refused to allow Povetkin to fight Wilder! Povetkin would have knocked Wilder out! Wilder has HAYMON BOXING INSURANCE!

    Povetkin Would Kill Wilder. There's levels.

    Wilder has finally got one win lol it took him 40 fights. He's still a windmilling, clumsy joke.

    A bogus point deduction from Perez is why Jennings won that fight.
