    This one is, on paper, one of the best fights of 2015. This fight will take place on May 22 in Moscow. The winner will challenge Wilder for the WBC belt and both of them has the potential to win the belt, especially Povetkin.

    Povetkin is in my opinion is the second best thing in heavyweight and Perez is an A-grade fighter who has proved his potential as a future champ. I expect this fight to be far more competitive than Wlad vs Jennings.

    How do you rate this fight and the chances of the winner against Wilder possibly late 2015 or early 2016 for the WBC belt?

    Edit: I posted the poll with wrong options, the second options were supposed to be "by decision".

    I expect Povetkin will win but Perez is an extremely live underdog. Povetkin UD, probably.

    The winner will be favored vrs Wilder. Especially if its Povetkin. If it's Povetkin then the fight is probably in Russia which puts major pressure on Wilder. Povetkin has good experience vrs. tall guys and will have a plan to deal with Wilder.

    Its not that great of a fight

    Povetkin should win fairly easily

    Perez is overrated imo

    Still a good fight

    Povotkin is the favorite, but Perez could snatch a victory, especially if manages to land on the glass chin of the Russian.
