How do you defeat Deontay Wilder?

land a punch with a gloved fist on his chin.

 

i think the blueprint is there to beat him, you just have to have the defensive nouse to keep away from that demon right hand for 12 rounds

 

Ummm .... be better than your average bum?

Seriously, Wilder has been outboxed by a bunch of people. But they were featherfists. Szpilka took him to school.

You have to have a bit of a chin to hang with him, as Duhaupas proved. But Duhaupas has no punch and little in the way of skills beyond his toughness. Povetkin totally outboxed him and stopped him clean.

Ortiz was breaking Wilder up until he gassed. But, he's an ooooold boxer with a heart condition.

Washington was driving Wilder around the ring with his jab. But he's easy to land on and has little power.

If Szpilka, Duhaupas or Washington could hit harder, they would have closed the deal on Wilder.

If Ortiz was 5 years younger, he would have put Wilder away.

Each opponent he has beaten had some or other fatal flaw that doomed them.

 

you don't you go to hospital

 

Dominate him with movement and jabs for 12 rounds in a way that those Al-Haymon kissing judges have no other choice but to give you a decision. And that's the key, movement. Ortiz had the skills, but he didn't have the movement because he was old and fat. He got caught too many times. Providing Tyson Fury gets the weight off, he can do it. Usyk can do it too I think, although I'd want to see how he does against Bellew first. If he cant deal with Bellew's power then he will struggle. I also want to see Usyk fight a tall heavyweight, because that is very important as well, one of the big hurdles Usyk has to overcome against Deonkey.

 

A check jab.

 

you dont

you run

just like Team Joshua

tip of the cap to hearn, he knows

 

I would say it involves having a good jab, circling away from the right hand and being aware of the right at all times

I think Washington and Szpilka's performances get overrated on here. They boxed with success, yes, but were ultimately behind on the cards and lost all momentum by the time they were knocked out.

I think one of Wilders big flaws is his slow starts where he can be susceptible early on and drop rounds. If he faces a guy he cannot knockout this can become a problem in a close fight. However, this flaw sometimes benefits him as I think it lures his opponents into a level of comfort and false sense of security. Wilder hits hard, he knows he hits hard, and he is patient about his power. Because he isnt guns blazing out the gates he doesnt run into counters and get clocked. I think his self belief in his power also allows him to stay in fights mentally and be relaxed and this was made evident vs Ortiz

I would say get inside on Wilder but he threw some good inside punches vs Ortiz. I figure you want to be inside on him but make sure you stay away from the right hook or inside uppercut. I think you can jab with Wilder because I dont think his jab is elite but again he can bring the right so you have to mix it up and be conscious about whats coming back your way

There is only 1 fighter who I think has a real good chance to beat Wilder and thats Joshua. I think right now he knocks Fury out and even said that when Fury was still around. Maybe I'm wrong but hopefully by January 1, 2019 one of those questions is answered

 

Simple. Not be a journeyman, there to collect a payday, or a fight away from retirement. Hats off to Wilder though, takes a lot of skill to go 40 fights and only fight 1 guy who is considered a threat. If Wilders team were honest with themselves, his recorded would probably be 36-4/35-5. Still probably the best punchers chance contender.

 

Well said.

 

Be taller than 6"4' - you must be able to reach him.
Be heavier than Wilder - he is not big to begin with
Good chin. - confidence to challenge him
Good overall speed. Feet and hands makes him second guess.

There you have it.

A lot of fighters would beat him thus the cowardly ducking and cherrypicking thru his career.

- "he is a baby, why not give something back to alabama first?"

 

Only ways I see:
Granite chin - over 12rds he’s bound to catch you, if you show signs of being hurt then goodnight

KO - Wilder is dangerous for all 12rds, if you’re outpointing him you better bite down on your gumshield in rd12 cos he’s gonna come all guns blazing

Boxing ability - difficult cos he’s so tall but you can’t hurt what you can’t hit .. maybe Fury being so tall will be interesting cos he will be able to get in/out of range and slip shots

I’m not wilders biggest fan but he’s so awkward and easily the most powerful HW. Despite his flaws he’s difficult to beat

 

First box the man and not the confected image. The man is a superior athlete but a limited boxer. His record is symptomatic of the cherry picking that's bedevilled US boxing for too long.

Second, do as much as you can to negate the home cooking which saw him ahead on the cards in his Ortiz fight, despite being roundly outfoxed in most of the rounds. Don't allow yourself to be caught by a magic punch such as the one that downed Malik Scott either.

Third, outbox him and collect the rounds one by one. Stay wary of the right hand but make him pay for his lack of balance and composure when he's seeking to push. Dominate him from distance and keep moving, because despite his speed his movement isn't great. When inside mercilessly work the body.

Finally, at some point he will know that he's so far behind on the cards that he has to get the KO. Watch and counter.

 

A 33-0 30 year old baby;

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (33-0, 32KOs) is still very much a work in progress, says his co-manager Shelly Finkel. After last Saturday's world title win over Bermane Stiverne, the hype began growing for a fight between Wilder and WBO/WBA/IBO/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko.
Finkel, who manages Wilder with Al Haymon and Jay Deas, also works closely with Klitschko.
He says there is no need to rush Wilder into big fights against the best of the division; that despite a world title he still needs time to grow and groom his skills.
“Look, (Wilder) is a baby winning the title. It was his first title fight, they'll be a time for unification, they'll be a time for all those things, he could go and Povetkin (the No. 2 contender) in Russia and make $10 million,” Finkel said to the Tuscaloosa News. “It's not the right thing yet. Give him a couple of fights, maybe bring something back to Alabama. Let him develop just like any other athlete. They don't take someone who is a great college prospect and throw him right in. And this kid is a great prospect.”
