Povetkin for me.

Still think he's the best of the rest. and should be too good for Perez.

Wide points decision or late stoppage.

[knicki-dick]

I agree with above, Pov takes this. What does Perez have to shake him?
But it's yet an competetive fight, do doubt.

[keirw]

Good fight, but it's Povetkin for me.
I like Perez but don't think he has enough in his arsenal to worry Povetkin.

[Gnome]

Great well-matched fight but Povetkin takes it.

[cold187]

good match up but im not excited yet until the contracts are signed.

[ReggieDiggs]

I think the Magomed fight has taken something out of Mike as other fighters have seemed to not be quite the same after similar situations. I think Alexander wins.

[Tony1244]

Don't see this fight yet listed on boxrec.

Interesting risk for Povetkin as he is the #1 ranked WBC contender for Wilder.

I'd guess Povetkin pounds out a decision.

[jujigatame]

I think Povetkin just due to superior power and workrate. Maybe a late stoppage, but Perez seems durable and tough to hit clean.

[baron_otto]

I'd love to see Perez get the win but realistically it will be Povetkin

Povetkin

Povetkin is the huge favourite to me.

Perez and (notably) Solis annoy the hell out of me....skills wise they've got what it takes...but they just don't fight frequently enough and don't exactly look like guys who know their gym or road-route inside out. To be completely fair to Mike, he is a cut above Solis when it comes to turning-up in shape and the tragic outcome of the fight with Magomed has (understandably) had an effect on him.

However, find it very weird that the smaller Cuban fighters who jump ship are hungry, fight as often as they can and look like men who are on a mission...but the big guys, straight out of the same system and with the same high calibre skills, are so often a disppointment. Solis, in particular, seems to have totally pissed things up the wall.

If the fight is on....and Mike's head is once more straight again...I think it is 50:50 as I don't go a bundle on Povetkin.

Povetkin on points for me. Perez is flashy and can look good but Povetkin is more real to me and that's what counts.
