Wlad looked sharp to me, can't see anyone else in the division beating him if he can keep that form in his next fight, but that's all I see him having, 1 or maybe 2 more.
Good thread! One thing is for sure, this fight is THE best fight to make. Regardless of most thinking AJ will beat him so many still seemed interested in this fight playing out. Its a lot to do with Wilders power, he will always have a chance. Makes it interesting.
posted this in another thread, but more relevant for this thread. Aj's power is too much for Wilder in this one for me, wouldn't go past the 5th. Wilder has a chance as he does have a bang on him and Aj's movement isn't the best. Aj has a better name on his record in 19 than Wilder has in in 38 so Aj backs his own ability. Wilder clearly doesn't want this fight or any top HW. Looks like they are gearing up for a Bellew vs Wilder fight.
AJ 70%, Wilder 30%. Wilder only has a punchers chance and if he can survive the assault and if AJ gasses and becomes low volume, then Wilder will pounce on him.
So I voted AJ, but really it's the first guy who lands flush on the other. I think AJ has the better fundamentals to set up that shot, but there is risk for both guys to be sure.
Honestly? I think that Joshua could either KO Wilder on a counter hook early - or could maybe swarm him like we saw him do against Klitschko at the beginning of round 5 and just have his way. I can't really see an argument for Wilder winning it - he would have to KO Joshua - which is possible, but seeing how Joshua boxed against Klitshko I can't see those telegraphed lunges being difficult to read for Joshua. I think he KO's him, and early.
And if Bellew vs Wilder gets made then they need to hang their head in shame. Bellew was blasted out by Adonis, and now holds a win over Haye that deserves an asterix realisitcally. That would be a joke. A dangerous joke.
Wilder? Lmao The guy who got flattened by Romanov,Nichols,and Sconiers. The guy who was buzzed badly by Drummer Boy Molina, and busted up something grotesque by a French pastry puff? The guy who was outboxed by washed up football player Washington and Soccer hooligan Szpilka? JOSHUA by KTFO 2 and Quite easily
Agreed, however I believe Bellew would have a better chance against Wilder, than Wilder would have against AJ.
