[MEDIA] Starting at 5:00, the interviewer 78SportsTV comments on Wilder working on his jab, which is interesting because the last time Wilder...
Larry Holmes says if he would’ve listened to his trainers in his career he never would’ve been a world champion for as long as he was. Holmes...
Bert Cooper wasn't exactly a slick skilled boxer and Mercer went life and death with him. Wilder doesn't need superb boxing skills to beat Mercer.
You don't need to knock out or even knock down a titanium chin opponent to beat them up or stop them. Case in point: Foreman vs Chuvalo. Started...
