    What a load of bull :-(

    but regardless, I really think it's better for Wilder to cash out now. It clearly isn't a given that he gets past his voluntaries like Molina showed, who already represented the bottom of the barrel. And with a huge payday waiting it might not be the best choice to postpone that any longer.

    Thanks. That means that Wilder-Povetkin would happen probably around April 2016. And the winner against Wlad (assuming he beats Fury, I think he will) around October 2016.

    Imo they should ask the WBC permission to unify.

    Povetkin is being frozen out as i assumed would happen all along.

    Stervine was made fight his mando Wilder straight away. Wilder should have to do the same.

    Wilder vs Povetkin should be scheduled to take place in October. It should be ordered now.

    Yep the fight should be happening in October but Haymon is being buddy buddy with the WBC to protect their protected fighter.

    Wilder's whole career is a protected fraud. This is a joke.

    Povetkin would be wise to fight again in Sep/Oct then start negotiating with Haymon and hammer out a deal for early 2016.

    Wilder doesn't do well against pressure. You could see that against Firtha.

    I think Povetkin stops him.

    Showtime said that Povetkin/Wilder fight will happen this fall...............Povetkin is Wilder's mandatory, after watching Wilder last night Povetkin will want that fight ASAP.................if Wilder does not fight Povetkin he could be stripped of Vitali's WBC title...................if Wilder does not fight top fighters, I wish Vitali would come out of retirement and force Wilder to fight him, Vitali is Emertus................and could do such....................
