Perhaps the worst fight in history where the heavyweight title changed hands. Wlad looked like he'd taken a bunch of valium before the fight.
Gdoggie, did you have any units on this fight?

Location TBD It was supposed to be at Barclays Center, but was postponed. According to team Wilder it was Povetkin's people who wanted the delay. Wilder is still planning on fighting in Brooklyn in January (probably on NBC against some bum) and the fight will be in April or May.
I know it's TBD but my pick is the country of the fighter in which its fought in. You need a shotgun to win a fight in Russia.
Wilder could keep him at bay with his length, jab and athleticism but Povetkin is the better overall fighter who has fought real opposition. I would lean Povetkin. I need to see Wilder in there with a top 5-10 heavyweight. Someone like Jennings, Pulev, even Steve Cunningham. He's fought drek. His best win is Stiverne who is mediocre.

I'm guessing it would be in America. Povetkin isn't a big name here, but it's probably the biggest fight featuring an American heavyweight since Lewis-Rahman II.
