Povetkin is way more skilled than Wilder. Povetkin is atleast 10x ahead of Wilder in the terms of skills. Can't wait when that fragile mandible finally gets shattered.
I can't see the fight happening anywhere. Wilder will avoid Povetkin while still somehow managing to keep his belt.
Hope not. This is a fight I'd really like to see. One of the more interesting match ups at heavyweight, imo.
Povetkin's promoter said they are interested in fighting in the USA with Wilder. Wilder KOs 1 Molina, and we'll see a very exciting fight. I favour Povetkin here.
With that glass jaw and that record filled with set up fights, Wilder is almost certain to get brutally knocked out early.
What's Povetkin going to when he comes up against Wilder? Take a good look. His speed, his ferocity, his training! I see the power of belief. I see the American Heavyweights resurgent.
Wilder is the champ. The fight won't happen in Moscow, sorry. That's wishful thinking. And Povetkin beat a Perez who had a glass jaw. Povetkin will be dealing with a guy who has a jab. The jab has always troubled Povetkin. I expect Wilder to ko Povetkin within 3 rounds.
FACT #1 : Wilder is a bum. Therefore ... Haymon cuts a deal with the Russian mob. Povetkin takes a dive. Gets paid well. Retires. Wilder' s fraudulent career is extended for a few fights but it doesn't last long, Haymon finds a better heavyweight to sign. Wilder loses the title, ends up broke, and then in jail.
