Had it examined by a hand surgeon and the prognosis is that it will heal with rest. He's out of the gym until early March, which should allow him to defend the title this summer. http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/artic...-Wilder-will-not-need-surgery-on-injured-hand
Hopefully they can arrange these: April: Klitschko-Jennings July: Fury-Wilder December: Winner 1 vs. Winner 2
That would be ideal for both Fury and Wilder, winner of that fight will get a 2nd big payday against Wlad.
More likely Wilder will be fighting on NBC in the summer in his first defense, and probably not against someone of Fury's drawing power as that has PPV-level potential on both sides of the pond. So I see it as more like: Wilder vs. TBD (lower-level contender) in the summer Wilder vs. Fury or Perez-Povetkin winner in the fall or winter Winner of that vs. Wlad in 2016 Keep in mind Wlad is fighting Jennings in April and reportedly has an arena booked in Germany for a September fight vs. probably Shannon Briggs.
This proves his hand was never seriously injured to begin with just Wilder trying to make excuses on why he failed to KO a sluggish, exhausted, dehydrated, severely sick plodding punching bag Now it's clear he owed his former perfect KO record to a steady diet of bums from the alley and perhaps some fixed dives, a la Scott
Correct wilders devasting power is only on show against bums and carnival freaks. But atleast he did prove he can box.
Wilder is just like Sam Peter Peter had overrated power that was non existent when he finally fought top competition and then tried to show boxing skills by "outboxing" James Toney.
Let it go man. Accept that hes better than you though and just let that ****** off your back. The truth will set you free
Not to mention than many of the bums he stopped weren't really knoccked out, just resting on the ropes with him swinging wildly and the referee stepping in for a bull**** stoppage.
