Great fight if it happens. I think Jennings has more potential than Wilder & has aleady beaten better opposition, despite still working full time. But, I think this fight might be too tough a test this early in his career. His defence does needs to improve & he has very little experience, amateur & pro. Right now I think he'll struggle with Wilder's range & overall abilty, he was rocked in one of his early fights & has never faced a puncher like Wilder. Wilder is well schooled, athletic & can bang, but if his chin is as bad as some suggest then fight could be great opportunity for Jennings.
Jennings looked spectacular in his last fight. He seems to be developing actual power, which has been his main weakness. I think he's just coming into his prime, and is a credible threat to ANY heavyweight at this point. Wilder hasn't had to learn serious defense yet (at all) thanks to his steady tomato diet, and Jennings is fast and VERY aggressive. As much as I support Wilder, and still have hopes for his future, I think Jennings would take him apart if they fought this year. - But I'd sure love to see Wilder prove me wrong. All it takes is one big right, and Jennings isn't exactly Captain Defense.
i envision it looking something like Dominic Guinn vs Michael Grant (take away the fact that Grant was 10 times better than Deontay) but it will end like the grant fight
i still question wilders willingness to take tough fights. he wants grant next and has wanted him for some time
if looks could win you a heavyweight title, he would have a few belts...but you kind of need to know how to fight....he is a monster in size..... This content is protected
There's a reason you don't see Wilders legs in this pic he got the legs of a CW that's why he's so light for a HW of his height
Hes been steadily putting on some pounds which is a good thing. Being 6'7 and weighing 215 was just ridiculous
Here's a quick recap of the twitter beef. http://www.thesweetscience.com/news/articles/15341-the-bryant-jennings-deontay-wilder-twitter-beef
This fight will not happen, and Wilder will instead fight another semi-retired chubby dishwasher midget for his next fight. And cableaddict, or whoever nutjob it is who's his biggest fan, will say something like, "I'm getting a little disappointed in Deontay. If he doesn't step it up next fight I'll have to seriously consider not being his number one fanboy." Bryant Jennings... Christ, Michael Jennings would be a step up at this point.
can't wait til Wilder fights and KO's a top 20 heavy just to see the reaction from all the haters, they'll discredit him for everything unless he actually KO's a KLit and if he does it'll be "wlad is past his prime"
