Honestly don't really like this fight, no idea why some people think Szpilka is solid, he already got stopped by Jennings a non puncher. And washed up guys like Adamek and McCline were his best wins. But you can't put all the blame on Wilder since several guys turned the fight down already.
You don't get to choose when you take your mandatory fight. If Povetkin didn't want the fight he should lose his ranking. I just think it is BS Wilder is WBC champ and is allowed to keep fighting complete bums. Seen enough of that **** with Wlad the bleeder Klitschko.
He isn't really solid but at least he is ranked which is more than the last two cans Wilder faced. In saying this I don't think we will know how could Wilder really is even if he get a early KO as I don't think Szpika will really force Wilder onto the back foot because he isn't big enough or good enough. Will more likely be Wilder teeing off from outside at will.
This is a breath of fresh air after the Wawrzyk, Stiverne 2 and Briggs rumours. Not the best option as we've been discussed many times before but not the worst out there either.
No short training camp. He's been training for Mansour for at least a month now... he just needs to find big sprarring partners now.
