    Molina was tougher than he should have been. Duhaupas was naturally more competitive.
    I expect Povetkin who is several levels above his last 2 opponents to give Wilder fits.
    I pick Povetkin in a close fight.
    I just don't see any way he doesn't land more solid punches than Duhaupas.

    Wilder will not fight Povetkin. He will vacate and fight some cripple for the WBU belt or something.

    Wilder will drop the WBC belt for the more prestigious PBC belt probably

    Judging by the poll numbers, there will be lots of crow to be served on these boards.

    Wilder wants to fight this January so he should take on #14 WBC Kyotaro Fujimoto, he is very popular in Asia.

    Wilder vs Wlad in 2016, Povetkin defense later in 2016. Its best for everybody, Povetkin gets a mega fight vs the Undisputed champion. Wlad/Wilder get the biggest fight of their career done.

    Did they really say that? That's awesome! This is GREAT news for boxing. Someone had to stop that fraud and his criminal handlers in their tracks. I am happy the WBC grew some cojones and shows some integrity.

    That is 65/35 fight in favor of wilder , povetkin fights small and he's not a big puncher , I don't think povetkins chin is iron , that's why I pick Wilder by stoppage . Wilder will get knocked out as soon as he'll start facing tall and strong guys with power, but povetkin is not one of them.
