I see Deontay winning wide the first 8 rounds vs Povetkin then knocking him out.

    I saw Wach landing the jab, straight right hand combo. Wach hits like a baby and Wilder hits like a grown man. Povetkin is definitely a winnable fight for Wilder. The fight needs to happen by May. Sasha doesn't look too eager.

    I'm not sure you can say Povetkin has a weak chin, he's never been knocked out. On the other hand, he's never fought anyone like Wilder either.

    This is a dangerous fight for Wilder, but a winnable one for sure, provided he can keep Povetkin at the end of the jab. He will need to take the fight to Povetkin and outbox him from a distance like he did Stiverne. Make sure he eats a lot of leather trying to get inside.

    It will be a test for his chin as well, cause he is going to inevidibly get socked here and there, but he needs to keep it to a minimum.

    Povetkin is easier to hit than Spzilka though.

    Povetkin will win he had a much better Amateur career than Wilder and has had a much better pro career than Wilder. Wilder is clumsy and Povetkin is an accurate puncher with heavy hands that throws good combinations. Just because the jab worked on Stiverne ( who already showed in previous bouts he couldn't handle a jab) does not mean it will work on Povetkin.
    75-25 I would favor Alexander. We'll know in about 4 months.
