WBA order AJ vs Povetkin to be signed within 24 hours

No interest in this fight. Easy work for AJ.

 

Wilder got his wish!
He's finally facing another football player in Breazeale.
For 2 million $, brilliant plan.

 

Unfortunately for you, if Duhauapas defense is the reason why Wilder failed to slaughter him. Then Povetkin has an even better defense than Duhaupas. So that means Wilder has an even lower chance of KO'ing, never mind slaughtering Povetkin than he had of KO'ing Duhaupas.

Duhaupas didn't even go down once, after absorbing a career high number of flush power punches from Wilder for 11 rounds whilst moving forward most of the time. Which was the most astonishing thing, because Duhaupas not only took Wilder's best punches for 11 rounds, but he did so whilst moving forward and whilst walking through Wilder's punches at times. He wasn't even backing up. So how exactly was Duhaupas concussed by Wilder, if Wilder couldn't even drop Duhaupas?

If you can't see that Wilder's power was seriously exposed in that fight and that his chances of KO'ing even superior and healthier opponents will be even lower as a result, then you are simply blind.

This isn't about Povetkin vs Duhaupas. This is about Wilder failing to even discourage Duhaupas at times with multiple of his best punches landing flush. But somehow, you jump into the illlogical conclusion that Wilder would somehow 'slaughter' Povetkin or Joshua, when he couldn't even drop, much less slaughter a much inferior boxer who is inferior in every department that is Johan Duhaupas?

 

unfortunately for you,
Povetkin absolutely does not have better defense than Duhaupas. Also Duhaupas weighs more than Povetkin making him more durable than Sasha. Also Povetkin is an offensive Juggernaut which puts AP in the line of fire more. Duhaupas shells up against big punchers. Low out put, vison to see all punches. Wilder wounded himself chopping away at Tree Duhaupas.

I really believe Wilder would have Slaughtered Sasha in Russia. Bad stylistic matchup for AP imho. Wilder will fight LONG & ruin Povetkin.

I think AP has a better chance against AJ who is less fluid & more robotic.

I pick Wilder over AJ but I agree the size difference might be too big we'll have to see in 2019

 

The 24 hours is up. Has been for some time now. Did they sign the contract as ordered, or has he been stripped?

 

That's what I want to know too, nothing from either side about if it's actually signed.

 

If

how come Wilders face looked like he’d been beaten with a bat

 

Gilberto Mendoza said: "Today the WBA requested an answer from Anthony Joshua's team regarding his fight with the mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin.

"The WBA have allowed over a month extension to negotiations with Povetkin and also ongoing discussions with Deontay Wilder.

"It appears the Wilder team have not returned the contract for the fight and therefore we are requesting a date for the Joshua versus Povetkin fight with immediate effect."

As I stated in another thread, where does it say it must be signed in 24 hours or AJ would be stripped?

 

Don't think it matters. The WBA clearly gave both parties enough time to get it sorted and they didn't. The mandatory was called in April and there comes a point where the fight has to get made or else.

Extension after extension makes a mockery of the mandatory position.

 

Because Duhaupas is good at shelling up & taking what you got, then switching to offense. JD knows veteran tactics. Remember Sasha fought JD on a days notice no boxing shoes available for Duhaupas

 

I agree, I was responding to someone else making the claim. The WBA needed evidence of a signed contract with Wilder to extend again. Now they know Joshua is moving forward with Povetkin and have a couple of dates planned (15th/22nd Sept), I don't think they're fussed about when it's signed, as long as it happens next.

 

Alexander Povetkin has never been knocked out in his amateur + pro boxing career, spanning around 200 bouts combined. Whilst Johan Duhaupas has. Therefore, Povetkin is EVIDENTLY more durable.

According to your logic, Duhaupas is more durable because he is heavier / bigger in size. Yet, the heavier Duhaupas was put to sleep by the much lighter Povetkin whilst the much lighter Povetkin has never been knocked out by anybody, despite facing many guys much bigger in size than himself. Which again disproves and contradicts your statement about Duhaupas being more durable because he is heavier.

Povetkin, FACTUALLY gets hit less than Duhaupas. This isn't even up for debate! There's a reason why Duhaupas has more losses than Povetkin. There's a reason why Duhaupas has an inferior heavyweight record and is ranked lower than Povetkin. Because he is inferior as a boxer. That includes defense too.

Shelling up as a defensive move is basic common sense. Any idiot can shell up when they see punches coming at them. This is what Duhaupas does most of the time. It's nothing special. Anybody that doesn't shell up or defend themselves in someway when they see a punch coming, is an idiot.

Povetkin can also shell up like Duhaupas. Plus, he can do way more defensively. He can also move his head. He can bob and weave better. He can slip punches better. He can duck under punches better and so forth so on. So yes, Povetkin does have a better defense than Duhaupas. If Wilder struggled with Duhaupas's defense, mark my words, he will struggle much more with Povetkin's.

You do realize that Povetkin throws roughly the same number of punches as Duhaupas on average, per fight? Correct? So all this nonsense about 'line of fire' and 'low output' is just that, utter nonsense!

Povetkin can do everything Duhaupas does, plus more. If Povetkin feels he needs to shell up due to Wilder's power, he can. Shelling up isn't a special skill. Any idiot can do that. But on top of that, Povetkin will be doing much more than what Duhaupas offered. And the little that Duhaupas offered, was enough to give Wilder a black eye and was enough to make that fight a 50/50 match up until the premature, gift stoppage for Wilder.

Wilder would break his hands, trying to slaughter Povetkin. He would end up slaughtering his own hands. Duhaupas literally walked through Wilder's punches at times. If Wilder couldn't even drop Duhaupas after 11 rounds, he isn't slaughtering or even KO'ing Povetkin.

Wilder vs Povetkin in Russia would be Evgeny Romanov vs Deontay Wilder *2.
