    Despite this being a farce fight.. you can understand why. This is a stay busy fight with low risk to set up a late 2017 showdown with Joshua or Wlad.

    This was against Bakhtov. Against Povetkin he just went to sleep.

    This is the type of match up the sport needs. Fans will salivate for this one.

    No it isn't. Wilder has already had 4 so called stay busy fights. He won't face real competition, and certainly won't have an unification fight in the near future. As long as he gets a pass from the WBC to fight these bums, he will continue to do so.

    Rudenko and Travis Kauffman are already waiting for the call.

    I agree it's far from ideal, but realistically who is Wilder going to fight? His big fight.. the one that makes financial sense is vs AJ or Klitchko. They are fighting early 2017 so won't be fighting Wilder until mid-late 2017. If you are in Wilder's camp, who do you put in the ring against Wilder in the short term? A real risky fight that could jeopardise the big fight, or a safe pick that Wilder can look good beating up? Wilder's camp are not going to risk him vs anyone with a pulse until the big payday. As much as hard core boxing fans won't like it, it's common sense.

    Great news, I' ve been hoping for an early Christmas present this year, Wawrzyk was boxing circles around Povetkin before the meldonium saved the Russian, this is Wilders toughest fight to date expect a back and forth war before someone is carried out on a stretcher

    Yeah. Fair, but don't let it be for the WBC belt! Too many mandatories. He's just pulling a Canelo; keeping Povetkins belt on ice. Smh

    No offense, but did you watch that clip just posted? Is that the fight you are talking about? Wawrzyk made Povetkin look like Muhammad Ali ...

    Im being sarcastic, I'm from Poland and I think Wawrzyk is horrible, this shouldn't even be sanctioned as a title fight, it's on par with Garcia-Salka

    My apologies. I can usually detect sarcasm but prolonged exposure to certain posters on BF24 has dulled my edge ;) Poland has had some good fighters, but Wawrzyk isn't one of them.

    Wow! Incredible fight! Extremely tough to call.
    I wish the other fighters in the division would take on Wilder's example and fight the cream of the crop.
    What a brave warrior.
    10/10 fight can't wait.

    I agree with your sentiments I believe many Purists feel the same way too. This is the one all the Molina's and Arreola's was leading up too!! What a barn burner we have on the horizon. Anyone telling you they know the outcome of this one is a liar! Cants stress enough --
