Either man can win the Wilder fight. Szpilka is a crusier who was knocked down three times by Mike Mollo and had his jaw busted against Mcline. Then again, he is better than Molina who rocked Wilder, Duahapas who busted up his eye, and Scoiners who dropped him. They guy who lands first wins big. Should that be Szpilka it sets up the intersting possibility of Szpika-Povetkin. Both are about 6'3", they fight tough, and it is a Russian against a Pole. I like this fight!
He fought his early years as a cruiser in great shape. He went to prison and came out fat as a heavyweight and has since either been out of shape or lifting weights into the heavyweight division. I don't see his frame as being a natural heavyweight, at least not anywhere near what most heavies fight at today.
Szpilka is not winning. But if he does yes Povektin. If wilder gets rematch the tilt wipuld be declared vacant
That's funny, cause Szpilka compared himself to... Rocky He said that after beating he will - like Rocky - travel to Russia to beat Povetkin/Drago.
