This really is a tough one to pick
But I think i'm going to lean slightly towards......
Povetkin, a country mile ahead on all scorecards, against a Wilder fighting scared and out of his depth, Alexander pummels him mercilessly into the canvas in the 7th round.
Wilder states sheepishly in his post fight interview that he was sure his water tasted of rohypnol
hats off, sir. how fast a thinker you are. in half
a post you come from struggling to pick a winner
to a precise 7 round KO being a mile ahead on all
cards and on top you predict a cheating scandal.
very impressive.
Hats off to you my fine fellow

Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder deserves a little more respect now that his "Terrible" opponents Eric Molina and "Reptile" Duhaupas were both victorious over Adamek and Helenius.
These Wilder opponents took a lot of criticism and now they have KO'd fighters who have been called Heavyweight contenders and prospects.

The Duhaupas win looks better but I've considered Adamek to be past it for years and don't rate Deontay's win over Molina any higher.

No one can deny this reality
Wilder is better than people think

If Wilder beats Povetkin, the icing is beginning to be applied to the cake. Wilder not only has mad power but he's also a pretty good fighter. You're right.

Wilder knocks Povetkin out cold . Haters have to deal with that or do a suicide wannabie boxing experts

+1, in fact Molina was a bit lucky with this win, he lost most rounds I understood, I've only seen the latest few minits, and he was basically losing till the KO.

It was very close fight and even acording to Poland commentators. Adamek was leading only two rounds . Molina was landing much harder punches and he was waiting for the right moment :)

To be fair given some of the opinions on this site it's usually a 50/50 chance that what may appear to be irony and sarcasm actually is.

May 21 is the day of truth. Tyson Fury is picking Wilder which is a tad scary for me because he is really good at picking a lot of fights/. But Potvetkin has faced the better opposition and Wilder looks sloppy all the time vs inferior opposition.

The judges said it was 88 83... Adamek could easely lose every round left and still win fairly easy if he didn't get KOed.

Who cares about judges in Poland? It was a close fight
