Wilder has granite chin, brutal power and warrior heart. He knocked down Fury two times. He resisted 202 cm and 125 kg Fury's punches tonight and didn't end until 11th round. I think Wilder resists AJ's punches and kills him in the ring. This fight should be undercard of Fury vs Usyk. Thoughts?
Wilder resisted Fury's punches because Fury is not a powerful puncher, and didn't have the stamina to keep throwing in combination. Wilder wouldn't be able to take AJ's punches. Plus, he's lost two fights almost exactly the same way. Now there's a definite blueprint out on him
Lol Joshua couldn't walk down Usyk a cruiser weight and was buzzed by his punches, you think he will try to do that to Wilder. Joshua does not fight anywhere near close enough as Fury
You can't compare Usyk to Wilder. Usyk has bags more technique. Wilder is a very one dimensional fighter.
Wilder has more dog in him than Joshua. The version we saw tonight would beat any version of AJ. But I don’t think we will see that version again, so who knows.
Wilders finished. He is mentally broken and took a savage beating. He won't be the same fighter after this
Usyk iss probably the most skilled boxer from cruiserweight and heavier. Tremendous footwork and great at set ups. Comparing that to Wilder who showed his sKilLs for like 1 round in 3 fights is delusional. He wont be able to cut off a ring ling usyk, nor can he jab his way to a victory. Then there's the southpaw advantage. Apart from the right to keep everyone honest, Wilder has nothing that usyk did. If anything the comparison should be WIlder and Ruiz. Power punchers with suspect footwork. But even ruiz issa better boxer than Wilder. But then we've seen AJ figure out that type of fighter already.
At age 36, after taking that much punishment I'm not so sure. I've always thought he would beat AJ but I seriously question whether he will be the same again after 2 back to back beatings like that
I've never thought Wilder could beat Joshua and Wilder clearly doesn't either. That's why he's avoided him for so long. He actually took less money to fight Fury instead. And now Fury haunts him
Wilder would likely be 37 by the time they fight, and will almost assuredly be carrying the effects of this fight still. If a seek and destroy AJ lands one of his full bombs on Wilder, Wilder will be wishing it was Fury punching him. This fight is ridiculously anyone's fight.... a wild west type fight shootout where either one could put the other to sleep at any minute. AJ the edge in skills, Wilder the edge in determination. Both hittable, both with goodbye power.
I'd slightly favour Wilder after seeing him tonight and the AJ that fought Usyk. I know Usyk is a different beast, but AJ would definitely be gun shy against Wilder with the threat of that right hand.
I got AJ over Wilder. Either AJ really, the pre knocked out puncher or the post knocked out boxer. Speaking of that, AJ and his team need to brighten up for the rematch and attack Usyk like the AJ of old. Why box the boxer when you've got that kind of size and power advantage? I guarantee the rematch will look totally different.
