Pretty good fight to start off the year. This is a rematch from October when De Carolis sort of got played.

That was a hell of a shot. Szplika's (him or Stiverne) probably the best guy he's fought so far, but they're not Povetkin. He's always dangerous with that kind of power but Povetkin can crack too and Wilder leaves himself open a lot.

That's likely going to be KO of the year right there.
