“My hand is finally back. Looking forward to testing it on Szpilka’s face.”

Say all you want about Wilder, but he had KO power.

Ever since his Stiverne fight where he broke his hand, it seems like his power might not be the same. Sure, He KOd Molina and Duhaupas, but they took a ton of hits before going down. I might go so far as to say his power didn't look very good at all. Wilder even looked frustrated at times by how unaffected his opponent was.

It is true he stepped up a bit in terms of opposition quality, but he still fought a couple fights at the Molina/Duhaupas level before Stiverne and KOd them easily enough.

So what's going on?

It's been a full year since Stiverne and he's only just now saying his fist is at 100%.

Is it? Will it ever be?

Is this why the Povetkin fight has been delayed so much? Wilder knows his power might be in trouble?
