I reckon he'll fight until he gets beat, or until there's no-one out there with a name worth fighting.
Man, Wilder would die fighting Povetkin...

The Caped Crusader said the fight might not happen until Feb, 2016 because of Sky Sports.

Damn, Duhaupas has one hell of a tough head on his shoulders. Deontay should work the body.
Crowd almost made Deontay punch himself out.

Wilder spams on those hooks like me playing Knockout Kings back in the day. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of technique there but he also doesn't appear to need it.

Crazy that it's just the 6th after all the damage that's been dealt in this fight.

I don't think Dupah is pulling off the miracle. 😡

Ref called it way too late, should have ended in the previous round, Wilder was throwing Super Punch Out moves at the end. Another and I think he would have thrown a roundhouse kick.

That was a long, brutal punishment doled out by Wilder. Now please fight someone decent.
Povetkin is his mandatory

He's a great athlete with some toughness. Usually guys like him can't take pressure and fold when they get into a dogfight. He might just make it because of this.
I think he'll keep distance and outpoint Povetkin.

It's the heavyweight division though. Everyone is flawed in some way. Even Wlad, though he's become great at protecting his.
Wlad's flaw was his chin and not knowing how to pace himself early in his career or recover during a fight. Technically, he is about as good as it gets for heavyweight. Wilder is a couple tiers below in my eyes. Still, you might be right. Wlad might retire by the time a Wilder fight can materialize, or father time might catch up considering he'd be over 40. WIlder also might be able to impose his size on Povetkin, who is only 6'2.
Yup, the positive with Wilder is that he's vulnerable and will let his hands go which makes for some fun fights. His fight on showtime and his 2 PBC fights have been fun.

Povetkin's not all that devastating for a top tier heavyweight and will probably need the knockout to win, which is why I like Wilder in that fight. On top of the height, reach, and speed advantages, he'll also be the busier of the two. Plus he's shown that he can take some punishment and stay on his game. So I see Wilder outscoring Povetkin similar to how Wlad did it, just that Wilder will take more punishment in the process.

Golovkin-Lemieux less than three weeks away. With Chocolatito fighting as well, this is one of my most anticipated cards this year.
Haven't seen much information with respect to PPV ordering information. On Comcast's website, I see no option to order it yet. Also checked Time Warner Cable's for shits and giggles and saw no information whatsoever.
Since this is going to be HBO PPV, how do you think they'll work it, logistically? I thought it was typically a completely separate channel, not just regular HBO blocked out for three hours or however long it takes.

This Xbox game case chain is way more gangsta than Broner's.
edit: Broner's skirt thing should be illegal.
