    This isn't a completely terrible fight. Others above me have mentioned that Deontay needs an easier fight after his last two. Which is true. Harper wasn't always this scrub, who would falter after the first sign of trouble. His fight against Arreola was quite the barn burner, and he showed tons of heart.

    Ten years have passed and Harper has clearly diminished from then. But even fighters like him once had courage.

    I'm okay with this. Good fight between two Dustin Nichols victims.

    People act as if Wilder has been on a tear. Dude got blown out in his last fight. Definitely needs a confidence builder.

    Wilder is 39 mate. Could he KO Usyk with lucky punch? No way in my opinion. His performance against Parker was worst performance i've ever seen

    I don't really know what to make of this fight.

    Do y'all think it'll be a fight or a show? This a fixed fight?

    I agree. He’s finished, gun shy and old.

    marks of father time but people want to see an old fighter past his best get crushed, that’s their hate for the man.

    Don't know much about Harper except that he is a journeyman at best. I think Wilder won't have any respect for Harper at all in the ring and will just go for it. Wilder 2nd round KO in a messy and short fight.

    Wilder was still able to KO Helenius recently. He’s no longer in the top 15 but he ain’t this low.

    As far as tune ups go...feel there could be something better. But will give Wilder a pass on this, so long he doesn't wait 6 months for his next fight after this.

    If Dustin Nichols and Harold Sconiers could put this glass jawed fraud on the canvas, Harper could too
