By Karl Freitag
In a WBC heavyweight eliminator, Alexander Povetkin (29-1, 21 KOs) spectacularly destroyed Mike Perez (21-2, 13 KOs) in the first round on Friday night at the Luzhniki Arena in Moscow, Russia. Povetkin, the 2004 super heavyweight Olympic gold medalist, staggered southpaw Perez with a huge right hand, then laid out Perez with another crushing right. Perez barely got up but he was gone. Povetkin quickly put him on the deck again and it was over. Time was 1:31. Povetkin is now the mandatory challenger for Deontay Wilder.
