I remember haye losing and being stopped by bellow. His injury claim is the same as pacs in the Floyd fight and floyd in the corrales fight. It is no excuse and is a just to save face for a pathetic showing. You don't believe pacs claim but you believe Hayes and Floyds
Wilder has a significant size advantage over Bellew. Also, I don't think Bellew hits particularly hard for a HW. I could totally see Wilder taking this fight, get outboxed for 10 rounds and then win with a hail mary windmill in the 11th. Still not entirely convinced Bellew should be at HW.
They could fight in Bellew's living room, Bellew gets wrecked...obviously you're trolling, but just stating clearly for the record Wilder beats his azz fiercely.
He remained upright by back-pedalling out of range. He was 4/5 rounds down when the injury happened. Considering we all all thought that he was going to get flattened I guess you could consider that success.
For all the trolling on this thread this statement is totally correct. I wouldn't be surprised for one minute that the moment Wilder faces a live and proven fighter in Bellew he'll get exposed as just another in a long list of American hype jobs. Wilder is a one trick pony with a dodgy skill set and Bellew proved last night he has a granite chin at heavy weight. On the other hand I doubt Wilder would even be able to land any sustained attacks because of Bellew's superior defensive skills. Bellew would win this fight by UD and Wilder would get exposed as another American hype job.
I understand Tony wanting to fight at heavyweight because of the money, but you keep messing around with tigers, eventually you're going to get eaten. I got big respect for Tony, but he's just too small for these heavyweights. He doesn't have the punching power of David Haye to help him against these big guys. Even though I'm not a big fan of Wilder, actually I think he's very suspect, but his right hand can still do a lot of damage to Tony, too much damage really.
Wilder is hitting much better and much harder than Haye. Hearn isn't stupid. They will go after Parker due to his low work-rate. Bellew gets seriously damaged vs Wilder. Sustains the type of KO loss that requires a stretcher and a neck brace. The fight will never happen.
Wilder punches hard. You would think that even if he's losing, getting outboxed that he would still have a huge punchers chance. At the end of the day, lets be honest, he beat a handicap david haye. David couldnt hardly stand up, let alone box. I don't want to take anything away from Tony, but that's the truth.
