Deontay Wilder vs. Alexander Povetkin.

[IamInuit]

He's already calling out Fury and claims he "falls down a lot"

Says the man who has still not been punched in the face by a heavyweight.

Make it happen Mr. Wilder.

Stiverne connected more than a few times on Wilder. Give Wilder credit. He used his height and movement to minimize the force of some of those punches.

I did give him fair credit after the fight but Stiverne barely landed a glove on him. He never got caught clean once. He fought a smart fight. The idea after all is to hit and not get hit. That's what he did ergo I want to see if his chin holds out to even a mediocre good shot and see what kind of recovery he has.

Until Wilder fights & defends his title, he is supposed to be questioned. Wladimir has had 20 plus title defences and he's still being questioned.

It's almost too bad he has that KO punch, he's always going to be suspect in one way or another to a lot of fans.
I think he gets rid of Fury or Povetkin pretty quick. Of course, I have a doubt or two myself. Lol

Wilder beats Povetkin better and cleaner than Wlad did it.

I like Povetkin. Wilder got the job done and showed composure but he still looked raggedy in spots especially late and his arsenal of punches isn't exactly full of imagination. Be very interested to see how/if he holds up with a physical guy who can step off to the side on more than a single occasion.

Povetkin has to get through mike perez first, I think he will... I don't think wilder will face povetkin though, povetkin is pretty good and can take a punch but he has no star power in the us I think so it would be a pretty risky move for wilder for now a huge reward.. I think the only way povetkin will be fighting for the wbc title is if wladmir takes it from wilder.

I still think Fury is a good next step for Wilder.

I want to see how he reacts, too!! Wilder likes to give them a taste of his power ASAP then see what happens.
I worry more about his hand than anything else. Wilder didn't seem to make a big deal out of his hand against Stiverne, but I think he might have gotten a stoppage without the damaged hand. He used both hands the entire fight, but how hard was he throwing that right?
