Wilder will fight Povetkin in Russia...

[powerpuncher]

I was ready for Povetkin to exploit wilder's flaws but after watching more fights on povetkin, I have an easier time seeing Wilder catch him than I did before....so i'll hold out on a opinion till i see how the camps go .

I think wilder wins not because he is great but because I don't think povetkin is good.

From the comfy confines of Alabama to mother Russia. That's a transition. I could easily see Povetkin being caught and dropped early. I can also see Wilder choking up out of his element and that leaky defense and lack of quality contested rounds combining to finally capsize his big bronze boat.

I'm going with Wilder
Both will give their all.

I'm rooting for Povetkin.

Povetkin will look great against similar sized heavies but hes not great against taller ones and he has no head movement. I think Wilder beats him!

I think that's a bit harsh on povetkin there, he did perform well v the two polish chaps who are tall fellows Wach is over 6 -6 and the other guy who's name i don't know how to spell is around 6-6, obviously they are not the top level of tall guys but they are still fair competition, it all depends on how good Wilder is really because I certainly agree that povetkin can be easy to hit sometimes due to his dodgy head movement. Povetkin really did a good a job on the slightly shorter polish guy a 3 round ko if I remember right.

I am hoping povetkin wins but I suspect the fight will be fairly similar to the wilder szpilka one and wilder will get a ko late on.
