:rofl No decent fighter should be that off balance when missing a punch. He was awful. It's not hard to look great when you are fighting boxers he is fighting.
Just watched it again. It was more comical then I remembered. Price's footwork was terrible and from the start was punching miles out of range. No wonder Wilder found it easy to avoid the punches! Wilder might turn out to be good but he needs to step up before before people hype him up.
I am Glad Deontay won this fight and won it by brutal ko. Young guy like him is good for the sport and fight fans.
What was up with Prices gammy left leg? Anyways Wilder needs to step up asap, Price and Fury both beat him imo
First time I've seen him fight, first thing I noticed was how ridiculously skinny his legs looked in proportion to the rest of him
I did watch the fight now and Wilder did not look very good... Props for knocking Price out there but alot to work on!
My overall assement of the fight is that Price aint as good as we were giving him credit for. Could be that Wilder is just so much better than Hamer, but I'd say if Hamer rematched Price, he'd likely KO him similarly to the way Wilder did. Also, being a 37 y/o prospect going in against a guy touted as a potential world beater did nothing for Prices confidence. He was horribly gunshy, and both guys looked genuinely afraid of the other. PPL are using the word patient when downplaying Wilder's fear of getting hit. Well, what we saw in the next fight was an example of patience. What we saw in this fight was called fear of being touched by a punch. IDK if Wilder is pure glass. Could very well be, but it's really tough to gauge his chin when he refuses to commit to getting into range. His power IS insane though. He telegraphed that R hand and Price saw it coming and was still ****ed up when it landed. I think the fight with David Rodriguez should happen next for Wilder. It will be a huge win for either, and heaven help the guy who gets hit first.:think
Wilder is on the same path Gerry Cooney was 30 years ago. They know what they have and they are not going to risk it until they can get a title shot. We have already seen how this story ends. You can't get better by fighting old fighters and no hopers.
He looked off balance tbf. But yeah, Wilder's not looking too hot at the moment. Punching power alone won't get him far.
