Very boring fight which ended in a crooked fashion. 1 star
Pretty harsh assessment imo. Personally, I thought it was a stellar performance by Povetkin. Wach is a big guy with a granite chin & a very good jab & Povetkin made him lock up and go into a shell. Povetkin is definitely the 2nd best Heavyweight out there & I think he has a damn good chance of beating Wilder (which is great fight).
Yeah I admit my comment was a little harsh, sorry. I think the fight was pretty unspectacular especially considering the stellar undercard. Povetkin is the mandatory for Wilder I think.
Povetkin kept Wach off balance the entire fight and his defense looked better. Uppercut was fast! Excellent fight! Wilder needs to take some serious notes from this fight.
Eric, I agree. Wilder has never fought as skillful a fighter as Povetkin, who thinks in combinations and attacks cagily and relentlessly.
It’s a fun fight — one of the best to be made at heavyweight. Wilder’s skill set may not be much greater than Wach’s, but the American does have stamina, speed and strength to spare. He won’t flag, as Wach did by mid-fight here. He’ll attack at a distance and make Povetkin go through fusillades of jabs.
But Povetkin will get inside. Then it’s a chin contest. Wilder’s wobbly moments against lesser fighters give us another idea of what to expect…
Muy aburridas las peleas de los pesos gordos.
