Alexander Povetkin v Mike Perez

[Master]

Winner becomes mandatory for Wilder's title.

Both guys are very good and evenly matched, this could be a real fight.

[El Kabong]

I'm saying Povetkin will win by decision and he might score a knockdown late.

[Fenster]

This would be a cracking fight if Perez actually trained for it.

Was thinking about backing him @7/2 in the hope that he comes in like an Adonis (wishful thinking, obviously)

I backed him at 7.6/1 when odds first came out. I dont think hell win but price too good to resist. 7/2 looks right price given his unpredictability. Maybe wait til the weigh in to have your bet.

that's good odds, I think the fight will be similar to perez v takam and povetkin v charr..Charr had some success v povetkin in the first half of the fight and regulary hit him with some nice shots but povetkin was landing teh heavier shots and eventualy got the ko and in perez v takam, pere built up a good lead but tired towards the end.. So I think perez is going to build up a nice lead and then it all depends on the conditioning of both guys both of them have had problems pacing themselves through fights, perez v takam and povetkin v huck, I it's a good bet to put money on perez, although it really could go either way.


might be hard for perez to get fair judging though, although if i remember correctly the judges did seem to score povetkin charr pretty fairly(for the time it lasted of course)

Wilder already turned down 10 million from Povetkin so Perez needs to win for him to honour the mandatory. Such is life. The Wbc has no criteria. Its a case by case basis for them.

I would be amazed if he turned down that amount now.

Wlad got $18million

He did and you can check if you like. Even at a purse bid, there is no way that even Haymon beats the Russians.

[Fenster]

There's no way Wilder turned down 10 million squid to fight Povetkin. Purse bids only happen when the fight is forced by the alphabet after the gangs can't make a deal.

Yes they did and I said that even if it went to purse bid Haymon would lose to the same Russians that outbid K2 in the Wlad fight. Eventual Wladimir Klitschko-Alexander Povetkin fight fetches $23.3M purse bid


There were stories all over the place when Haymon said Wilder was not ready.

Btw I need a post box or something to send you a token in the mail for winning again. Just pm

Perez just has that feel of creeping closer to Solis ville. Not a bad match up. Looks like ESPN2 picked it up and will air on delay.
