It means hes 3/4 human and 1/4 Hybrid. Source- years of academic research on the inhabitants of Alabama and their language.
It has worked against two (2!) top ten fighters. The jury is still out if Wilder has any longevity among the top 10.
He did for the first couple of rounds until he gassed out due to lack of stamina. Some would say due to his age.
Who was the 'Big Cuban'..... In comparison, Ortiz was a good 4 inches shorter than Wilder. 'Big gut Cuban' would be more accurate.
Luckily for Wilder he has tremendous height, reach, speed and power. His technique obvious is truly atrocious he stumbles over his own feet and over balances to the point he falls over in fights, his footwork is as incoherent as his ramblings in interviews. If Fury can show he has the movement he once had I expect Wilder to be left looking lost, swinging for the fences, falling over and just being unable to let his hands go. But that's a big if, Fury hasn't looked good in years.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what he’s doing. Dweebs on here think every boxer should look the same. Good movement is good movement, physical qualities and rhythm can make all the difference. I could post videos of Cuban gold medalists and you’d have a bunch of people on here talking trash about their technique, because when they did a boxercise class they were told to keep their hands up so therefore they’re an expert on boxing technique now.
This is a wonderful topic and should be a sticky imo. Deontay may talk himself in circles but he is yet to match the dictionary GOAT: Ricky Hatton. He came up with the phrase "lacksy-daisy" which is a genius compound of lax, lackadaisical and 'oopsy-daisy'. Perfectly describing a boxer not being focused. "Ee got a likkle bit lacksy-daisy in the middle rounds" Wilder has a way to go yet.....
Look at his footwork. Nobody is talking about him being holding his hands up, every coach is telling you that or his shadow boxing. His footwork is horrible in that video. Fact. Shadow boxing punches are different from boxer to boxer, yes but footwork should look good / decent as you do not have a opponent who pressures you so you can move freely. And it is looking like ****. Maybe he doesn't care there, maybe he did it on purpose who knows it, he is a world champion so we all should STFU with general comments but his footwork is still looking like garbage.
