Did Povetkin-Stiverne really

They don't think they can knock out Stiverne so they need to make sure they have a favorable decision. Part of the boxing game. It's going to be difficult for Stiverne to win a decision which is why he has to be in his best shape or he'll just get out worked in the judges eyes.

 

You think there s something shady going on, maybe regarding Povetkin new super condition after the Wlad matchup? Could be this, could be that they dont wanna risk absolutely anything before the Wilder fight

I dont think that Povetkin needs the judges to win, like Blackclouds is saying, Stiverne isnt a volume puncher and his power will only be his only hope anyway

but, you can never know about that " meldoniun" bro haha

Then again, you can suspect any promoter that goes to purse bid

 

Stiverne would be lucky to make it as Povetkin's sparring partner.

You see Povetkin will treat this fight....Wilders only victory over a top 10 fighter.....as a workout.

Easy Russian currency.

 

Wlad beat Povetkin in Russia. Just sayin'.

Stiverne is ... or could be ... an excellent fighter. But he didn't look great against Wilder and if he comes in the same against Povetkin, he's going to be KO'd. No scorecards needed. I hope for Bermane's sake that he's taking this seriously.

 

Stiverne should be happy, guess drawing with Dereck Rossy and sitting on his ass for a year got him another title shot and 1.6 $ mil.

 

I couldn't give a **** about Povetkin. I thought i'd make that clear for anyone who didn't know.

Ward isn't as popular in his home country though. Sure, he's had 10x the career Povetkin has but he's not a draw and in this BS age of ' Well he's the A-side so he can *insert example of unreasonable demand*' that apparently means something to fans.

 

Lol Wilder fanboys rambling over nothing per usual. Purse bids are part of the sport you spastics, get over it. You'll never complain when it's someone you support like Wilder or Ward fighting at home. Wonder why?

 

If I won the purse bid I'd want it in the country that I thought my guy had the most chance of winning in. If you add in that that country would also generate the most cash then it becomes a total no brainer.

Ward wasn't willing to go abroad to fight in the S6. He was the ONLY fighter who didn't.

Now I think Ward is a supreme talent and doesn't get enough credit in many respects but for people who defend his choice to stay at home when loads more money could have been generated by dusting off his passport to criticise others for seeking home advantage is a bit much. The ways most posters flip flop on their positions depending who the fighter on these boards really is something else.

 

Great post, just highlights the double standards.

 

Shut up ALT!!!
