Great experience for the bronze bomber. from his twitter: Deontay Wilder ‏@BronzeBomber @pittgrad0214 @audley_harrison @klitschko @klitschko most def I'm excitied about it Matt Dement ‏@Matt_Dement @bronzebomber @JohnMedeiros5 That's huge. Hope he doesn't scare Wladimir and make him not want to fight later. Deontay Wilder ‏@BronzeBomber @Matt_Dement @johnmedeiros5 it's going to be gr8 sparring bro TEAM Disciple ‏@seanbrendon @BronzeBomber cant hurt to go do some recon for a couple weeks with wlad... give him the #bombsquad so he know what his future brings
Always thought Wilder was going to fall in with the Manny Stewart Camp. Hope Manny makes a full recovery for that to happen.
Manny has been a huge Wilder fan for a while now. It would be amazing to see him take over Deontay's training. -No disrespect to Jay Deas, who IMO has done a fantastic job so far. - But Wilder still has holes in his defense, and Steward is obviously a defensive master. Also, if he were under Steward's wing, it would be much easier to find better opponents, plus the obvious HBO connection. Things could be really heating up in the HW division: Jennings' power is improving, Helenius is back, Boytsov will likely make an impressive statement this Sat, and Wilder may finally start fighting actual opponents. Price, Pulev, & maybe even Mago could all also be factors. - And Wlad will retire before having to face Wilder or Price, I guarantee it. I'm really looking forward to 2013.
You can't take a bum out of a bum fighter. Doesn't matter who trains him Deontay is going to get Koed.
By you I hope you mean you deontay. Tall, slow, lean, boastful,bum fighter, all the keys to getting knocked out by journeyman. If he ever step ring with seth mitchell or anyone who makes him miss he will lose and lose badly. With his huge reach he is at every possible disadvantage conceivieble in boxing.
Sparring Wlad will show Wilder where he is right now in his development and where he needs to go. Hopefully he realizes he won't ever make it bigtime if he keeps fighting journeymen.
Agreed. It should be quite a wake-up call, which Wilder desperately needs. Does anyone know if they have actually begun sparring. or is this whole thing just a rumor?
Just because he spars with Wlad .. dont mean he going to get trained by Manny Stewards dumbasses!!.. alot of boxers sparred wlad before.. Eddie CHambers, Steve Cunningham, Chazz Witherspoon, Fury, Malik Scott
Good for him to get some work with the heavyweight champ. Hope he keeps his mouth shut and eyes and ears open. Could have a huge positive influence on him.
What did A Farce say again? He hits like a horse. Well anyone who is remotely top 20 hits like a horse for old chinless wonder A Farce. Lets see what this great US hype job has, when Wlad is pounding down on him from a great height:rofl
