https://beta.compuboxdata.com/round-stats/15470 I thought that Wilder deserve for at last one + point for using jab. Bull ****. He try work with his front hand but only try... God Damn it. Dude lost his eye completly. He land 13 percent of his punches. Some rounds his aim was correct in 4% Dude really try work but in reallity he just fight with flies flying near to the ring. How its end? How it must end. Wilder want money and thats good decision for stay active and "be on the radar on market zone". He want Joshua but AJ got his own problem now and dont think this fight happend. Probably Wilder will got other option with someone from top and loose hardly because with that performance he will probably be beaten hard by 50 hw.
Promoter did not want to deal with Hearn and DAZN. Dumtay listened to his handlers instead of thinking for himself.
Probably gets flattened in one of his tune-ups like the one he had yesterday. Similar to Mike losing to Kevin McBride. He's unlikely to return to the top again, and he's also unlikely to take a risky fight against someone like Itauma or Torrez. He should've retired after the Zhang fight. I have no idea what he's doing; he's 40 in a few months, and another brutal stoppage is around the corner.
His legs are so skinny it’s almost comical….cartoonish looking especially with the leggings he was wearing for this fight… Im usually not the type to think strength training would make an appreciable difference for a fighter, but it’s hard not to think some steak, potatoes, and squats wouldn’t have helped Deontay seeing them cartoon stilt looking ass legs…..
I feel like people are too ready to want these warriors to retire. Let them got out on their shield like true warriors. They don't need keyboard warriors protecting them when they are true warriors. Wilder still has plenty of good fights left. Look at Zhang, who is well into his forties. Look at Froch, who is making a comeback. Like Froch, Wilder also has never been fat and lives the life. I would love to see him fight on for at least a handful of years. Sure, he won't dominate maybe but he can definitely cause some upsets and make it interesting. If it turns out he just gets KO'd over and over, that's not the end of the world either.
Chew up weaker opposition then cash out on an AJ fight is the best likely scenario for him. Edit: actually an ngannou fight for him maybe makes more sense. it makes big money and he actually has a chance to win. if he can beat a couple more bums then beat ngannou then lose to AJ, that is the most profitable path for him.
I don't really know why anyone wants him to fight Ngannou... Didn't Fury nearly losing do enough damage without Wilder going in and getting laid out cold?
I have seen some highlights of his recent fight, and his comeback ends with him out cold on the canvas. Wilder is clearly carrying injuries and it looked like he was punching under water. Even when he had a tenderized sparring partner who wanted to quit. He still couldn't get any snap or viciousness in his punches. Its an easy nights work for anyone at the higher levels of the HW division.
Before the Zhang fight Malik Scott was saying that Wilder was sending sparring partners to the hospital, lol.
Heck, not even just at the higher levels... I can't see gatekeepers like Bakole having much trouble. And prospects like Itauma, Torrez, etc would probably be licking their lips at the exposure they could get. Taking on someone equally shot with name recognition might make for a decent payday, but they'd have to be shot enough that he'd be willing to take it... And even AJ isn't that, potentially... Maybe Ortiz 3, Whyte, Ruiz?
