Sasha Povetkin is a beta

100 percent

 

Ryabinsky flew over to US to talk to Haymon directly face to face. Povetkin was there for the ride. He speaks absolutely no English.

 

All the steroids in the world but deep inside, Povetkin is just a shy fat kid.

 

He didn't take part in the WWE clownery so he's a beta. Perfect logic for a 10 year old.

 

I'd love for you to tell him that

 

he must be one of those guys from the ymca. povetkin is fat so hes beta.atsch

 

Povetkin's team told on themselves. They say that since Wilder took another fight they took a tuneup as well. What does Povetkin need a tuneup for? Doesnt' matter anyways, he'll get the time he needs, Wilder got to stay busy and the fight will happen.

 

WBC only announced that the mandatory was due in January after Povetkin signed to fight Wach in November. There was need for Povetkin to only have 1 fight in early 2015 and then collect the ring rust and miss a multi-million payday in the second part of the year.

Wilder wasn't even supposed to fight Duhaupas, that fight was granted by the WBC because they asked for it and were lobbying for it. It was supposed to be Wilder vs. Povetkin in Oct/Nov and not Wilder/Duhaupas and Povetkin/Wach.

The January date being "due" was just a manipulation.

 

Wilder is total fraud, what did he and Haymon do early June after Molina fight? Where were they?

Why did they fight Duhaupas? Why didn't Wilder start negotiating with Povetkin right after Duhaupas fight?

Povetkin's fight with Wach was only a few weeks after that.

 

Sasha was still processing the KO, his intelligent he is doing the math & figuring out his chances vs the obviously faster, taller power puncher

Tyson Fury rightfully confident, undefeated & confident, coming off an easy beat down over Wlad...felt he can stand up to Wilder Tyrannical tendencies...While Povetkin preferred to fully process what just happened :think

 

He was expecting to fight Wilder in late 2015, that's why there were no negotiations about any other fight. When Wilder successfully lobbied another optional defense versus Duhaupas, Povetkin signed to fight Wach. Only then Wilder/Povetkin apparently because "due" in January because it was obvious that Povetkin wouldn't want to fight in January.

There is no need for a man of honor or dignity to approach someone like Wilder and ask him for a shot or demand anything. Povetkin is the official mandatory challenger which Wilder is obligated to fight next. No need to get included in any kind of circus for the sake of promotion and a couple more dollars.

 

^ good post

 

Agree

I think the OP may confuse Povetkin's being a decent, respectful,professional athlete with him being passive and lacking confidence

 

As others have said, he does not speak English. Also, clowning around, shouting and making an embarrassment of yourself does not necessarily mean you are a alpha male. It is also certainly not how Povetkin acts. Were as shouting, repeating the same catchphrases and pumping your chest out may be seen as the tough alpha male thing to do in America, some Americans need to understand that that is not necessarily the way tough men from other cultures act. In fact, many people see that shouting, tub thumping lark as silly and an inability to control ones emotions.

Povetkin is the mandatory and up next for Wilder. He doesn't need to press for the fight. He has the fight. He would have been there to check out Wilder and talk to Wikders people behind the scenes about the fight.

Povetkin is big in Russia and Wilder seems to have a decent following in America so the fight does not really need to be sold. Not every fight has to have a lame WWE build up.
