Why do people praise Wilder's KO ability when it's mostly illegal?!

Wilder has the power to punch through a high guard defence. His power is legit even if his windmilling is somewhat hilarious.

But he's technically incredibly flawed. If Ortiz wasn't old enough to be Castro's brother he would have ktfo Wilder. Anyone decent will time Wilder. Fury would make him no mas in tears.

 

Old how? He was younger than Wladmir when Wlad fought Joshua. As a matter of fact, many say Ortiz' real age is 27.

 

Some of his punches remind me a bit of how Sam Peter dropped a few.
Some were on the chin, but against Wlad and Toney, Peter landed on the side of the head, top of the head, kinda like Maidana did first fight with Floyd. He got a lot of shots landed on the dome.

Wilder has knocked out foes to the chin, temple, nose, whole face, head, side of the head, hell if its not the back of the head aka rabbit punching, then it's legit.

 

Wilder's punches are like freestyle swimming strokes.

 

Many being you and your imaginary friends ? Try doubling that figure.

 

His punch technique is truly awful which is why many of his hooks are slaps and why he's had some injuries. His clubbing style windmills also result in a lot of illegal behind the head shots.

But there's nothing wrong with his straight right hand and that's his big weapon.

 

that implies some form of control - more like someone drowning

 

Doubling then halfing it, he's 27.

 

Well if you say so it must be true. It's just that he did some incredibly hard paper rounds when he was young.

 

I don't get the point of this thread. Every fighter at the top level cheats to some degree and at the end of the day it's not cheating if you don't get caught or if the ref doesn't care.

Wlad got away with blatantly pushing, wrestling, and leaning on opponents for years and was never disqualified. Joshua punched Parker on every ref break and was holding behind the head, which is against the rules, but was never warned by the ref. Tyson Fury got away with using a foreman against Cunningham to setup his knockout shotout, which is also an illegal move, but at the end of the day a win is a win and a loss is a loss.

If you can provide evidence of his then obvious Progeria, I will believe you.

 

Good post. Another thing is that when Wilder gets his opponent hurt he gets all excited and swings wildly, resulting in some illegal blows.

 

No, that’s the year he was born. It’s an easy mistake to make.
