Big Baby needs to drop some of the baby weight. I like him as a fighter but come on man, get serious, be a professional you'll last longer and do better in the sport!
If the AJ-Povetkin fight actually happens, I think it might have one or two explosive rounds but it'll be a cagey match. There's a small chance Povetkin gets absolutely knocked cold, there's a similar chance he stops AJ early, I believe AJ will look to avoid Povetkin's early attacks and take control over the later rounds. Povetkin MUST keep his hands free, he MUST keep his balance, he MUST keep his head moving...I think at this time AJ is not as focused as Wlad was when he fought Povetkin, it could mean a loss, it could mean a lackluster fight, it could mean nothing, but I believe there's more of an opportunity for Povetkin now but the problem is Povetkin is older, slower, and there's mountains of video of the guy fighting and his fighting style so it gives AJ plenty of opportunity to practice and prepare.
I'm going to say IF they fight Povetkin will be valiant but out gunned...AJ may get shook a time or two (probably not) but he'll play the long game and slowly wear Povetkin down for either a wide UD or a late but unsurprising stoppage.
Wilder needs to get out there and fight some names, get on the ball my man.
