"Sconiers, however, decided that merely surviving the first round was not enough and was able to box Wilder pretty evenly in the second round before catching him with a hard punch and flooring him. Wilder rose on very unsteady legs and if not for the bell sounding immediately, may have suffered a much worse fate. Instead, Wilder was able to get his legs back under him in the third round while Sconiers was either unable or uninterested in taking further advantage. Sconiers then did what he came to do lose in the fourth round after being floored twice more by Wilder, the final time by a solid shot to the forehead that turned him into a bobblehead and floored him against the bottom rope prompting the referee finally to decisively call an end to the fight. With the victory, Wilder not only exposes a possible glass chin for the first time, but keeps his knockout streak alive in improving to 13-0 (13 KOs) while Sconiers falls to 17-21-2 (8 KOs)." Maybe a Harold Sconiers rematch is in order?
We would've been spared of this heavyweight "champion" nightmare that is the Burger Squad. However...we also would have the hilarity that ensued on here as a result of either. Hmmm... :happy:rofl::hat
The same ole **** posters giving the same old ****ty answers. No wonder you clowns don't get any respect from true boxing fans.
As long as they don't use Meldonium I'm good. Meldoniuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum squaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad...!!!
"Multiple sources say that Haymon tried to make a title unification bout between Wilder and Martin but the WBC refused to release Wilder from his obligation to fight mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin. Then, in a further effort to protect Wilder, an overture was made to Team Povetkin to see if the Russian would fight Martin instead but the Povetkin camp said no." - Thomas Hauser, Al Haymon article. Part 5.

Povetkin should not get another shot after the cheating bs. On short notice i dont mind him fighting Chris nipples as a stay busy fight. But you are absolutely right in that he needs to fight a big fight before the end of the year. He needs to step in against a Joshua,Ortiz,Fury,Klitscho or possibly Parker. If he doesnt he starts losing what little legitimacy as hw champion he has now.
VADA will clear Povetkin, keeping his mandatory status. Wilder will then drop the belt and claim martyr status while playing the world's smallest violin.
