    Not likely. Although I don't think Wilder has the best chin in the world I don't see Szpilka being the one to test it. This should be routine work for Wilder.

    Szpilka is a heavy handed puncher, this the Heavyweight division all it takes is one punch, although Wilder has an iron chin & big heart. We can't discount Szpilka

    Probably true. But I always like to stay positive leading up to fights where a Polish fighter is competing.

    Wilder has a big reach advantage, which could cause Szplika trouble. Someone said in another thread he thinks this fight will come down to whoever lands the 1st solid punch, because boths guys chins are suspect.

    Still hoping for this>>>:!:

    Szpilka certainly has a better chance than the odds suggest. 10/1 on him winning by KO? ridiculous odds. Both of these guys are glass cannons, whoever lands the first big shot may come way with this one.

    This seems to be the general consensus.

    Here's film of Wilder as an amateur. His chin didn't hold up very well in this fight. I know its a long time ago, but chin's don't get stronger over time.

    Please don't ask chin-related questions to Eltirado.

    Holy Smokes! Where did you find all that? Well, there is always a 1st time & maybe on the 16th history will be made.

    Wilder seems to cut/swell easily but the Szpilka chin is easily the worst in the sport and Wilder is a good puncher. I don't see him landing on Wilder either. That's why Szpilka was chosen. If the world was fair, the WBC belt would belong to Povetkin already.

    I remember Mike Mollo totally emasculatin Szpilka when Szp was an exciting prospect, and the ref bailing him out

    Szpilka has some power but idk if it translates to the higher levels
