wilder KO 4. wilder lands the perfect right hand, replacing Marcianos ko of Walcott, stands over AJs lifeless crumpled body with arms raised triumphantly in the air. as quickly as the media and fans left Wilder for dead, they will stampede over each other like poor people in a third world country stampeding a UN food convoy to find their place back on the Wilder bandwagon. AJ will return in shame to the UK where the Brits will turn their backs on him same as they did to Audley Harrison
If Wilder is still the same guy, it's 50/50 for me. I like Joshua but I feel like there's still some vulnerability there.
Joshua by KO. He is just much better and smarter boxer. Plus I think Fury completely destroyed Wilder mentally in the last fight. I don't think Wilder will ever be the same
Joshua in Ruiz2 proved he can stay away from the right hand of a dangerous puncher for 12 rounds...the problem of AJ Is that sometimes he tends to get stuck in front of his opponent
AJ can outbox him but all it would take is one big right hand by Wilder to end it. I still favor Joshua by wide UD.
Lol idiots in this forum. Luis Ortiz and Eric Molina gave wilder lots of trouble and especially ortiz almost beat the guy. Wilder has a bit more than a punchers chance but i go with Aj KO round 5. Aj is better on the front foot than anybody wilder has ever fought and punches harder than anybody wilder has ever fought. Aj mauls him. Wilder himself knew this when he was ring side for klitschko/joshua. Tell me again who has wilder beaten ?
Wilder has had a complete mental breakdown. Speaking as a professional Psychologist of twenty years it will take its toll on his ability to do the one thing he has to do to win, land the right hand. AJ’s loss took its toll on him as well. He wasn’t the AJ of old after the fat kid from UP took his belts and ate his soul at Madison Square Garden during AJ’s introduction to American audiences. AJ has more tools at his disposal to win fights other than Straight Right. He showed tonight against Pulev a less cautious approach than his last against Ruiz jr. He let his hands go a little more aggressively and worked through his mental defects some. Until we see Wilder fight again and know where he’s at, AJ wins this.
Cagey Round 1 with Joshua’s jab eventually pushing Wilder back but nothing significant landed despite Deontay loosing a half a dozen right hand Hail Marys Cagey start to Round 2 but Joshua’s straighter delivery starts finding a home with a couple of 3 punch combinations having Wilder looking ruffled. Round 3 starts with Wilder trying to establish a bit of a jab to keep Joshua off him, a few rights with one landing but not clean enough to trouble Joshua. The round ends with Wilder taking a left hook that has him in Disney Land but saved by the bell. Round 4 Wilder clearly not recovered but fights on instinct but he’s wild and inaccurate, Joshua counters him again and this time it’s a trip to the canvass for Wilder. He’s up at 8 but straight back down after a number of power shots land and it’s over Joshua KO 4 Wilder
Wilder is where AJ was a year ago after losing his belt and getting KOed. The question is more than anything will Wilder be the same? AJ has a two fight win streak at the moment. There is the mental side but also injuries and age with Wilder. Wilder would be smart to go back to fighting Top 15 HWs and wait until AJ-Fury shakes out. He's risking another beating in Fury III.
