    Wilder has had the belt a year without facing a mando and fought 3 voluntaries against nobodies....Fury had it for what, 2 weeks and got stripped for rematching the IBF champ of nearly 10 years, which damn sure the IBF knew about before the fight....

    Blame the IBF, and blame the WBC, both disgraces of organizations.

    Its disappointing that Povetkin promoter backed out of making the fight in Russia which would have gave Wilder a $17 Million payday

    Beating Povetkin will still be a nice title defense, mainly the fall of Povetkin will end Anti-Wilder insurgency & Wilder can focus on the mega-showdown vs Tyson Fury

    Ummmmm.......

    To hold a fight in Moscow, in an appropriate stadium, to generate the type of proper $$$ this fight is gonna generate, it's gonna need to be in May or June.

    You call Potvetkin a NICE defense.

    More like the best defense.

    And most ppl know that Sasha, if he can get Wilder in the ring, is the WBC World Champion in waiting.

    Potvetkin KO1-3 Wilder. :deal

    Deontay Wilder will not allow anybody to keep any belt, he made it clear the future will be Totalitarian tyranny with bodies falling under his feet.

    The Bronze Bomber is very interested in making a Hyper-Sonic Flyover into the Russian heartland, but team Sasha seems less interested & are already mentioning the USA as an option :think

    Yeah, Potvetkin would oblige a PPV fight in the US if Al Haymon could get Showtime on board, but we all know the US is not ready to pay for a HW title fight, especially with names like Fury and Klitschko lingering about and former Champs like Tyson and Lewis saying they don't even know who Szpilka is.

    Not only was last night FREE to ALL American digital cable subscribers, but it was also FREE to anyone with access to youtube.

    I still bet it did not peek over 3 million viewers.

    And that was with 2 AMERICANS fighting for 2 HW titles. :patsch

    The fight is IN MOSCOW. Count on it.:yep

    Very probable. Choosing another bum as 4th voluntary defense is what Wilder will do. And then will come the 5th.

    He avoided Povetkin and 10 millions one year ago, and he's still running.

    Bums regularly embarrasses Wilder, he knows he can't deal with any top 10 hw

    I think if a Wilder-Povetkin fight can be made in the U.S then Wilder might actually fight Povetkin next.

    If the fight goes to Russia then Wilder will try to unify with Martin or even the Fury-Wlad winner and dump the WBC afterwards.
