Deontay Wilder vs. Alexander Povetkin.

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?
