Can we all agree on this for Wilder v AJ?

Yes i agree overall.

However, many ways to go all in for a knock out, rather than just coming out swinging full force so this will be interesting. Lets not forget Wilder carries his power late so its not as if his only option for a knock out is early, but yeah i agree with you about thinking AJ would have a better chance at a UD then Wilder would.

 

Very astute observation

 

Joshua will knock Wilder out, Joshua has the skills, hit harder, hits hard will both hands, his punches are shorter, no, Wilder is not in Joshua' s class at all...................he only has a puncher's chance. Fury would toy with Wilder.............

 

Agree in principle although I do think he sometimes 'lets the opponent score more' simply because he knows his limitations as a boxer, which I guess is kind of smart. As for the judges, well they've both had it favorable. The scoring in the Ortiz fight suggests Hearn is going to be against it going to the distance and the same with the Wlad fight. If it's in the UK and a repeat of round 7 against Ortiz happens with AJ then you're absolutely right; I assure you one of our refs will cartwheel between the two of them with a raging hard-on and raise AJ's hand.

 

I'm not sure he does hit harder, actually.

 

Joshua should get him out of there in 5-6 rounds. But hopefully it’s Parker that ends up facing Wilder. Seems like a much better guy overall and it would be cool seeing him get this big unification fight. And Parker wins by wide UD.

 

Good points.

 

I was hoping for "a site ban on all AJ vs Wilder threads until it is officially announced because we are drowning in them already."

But yeah it probably ends in (T)KO for one of them.

 

They both punch hard and they can both be hurt.

Who lands first?

Wilder wont make it past 4, AJ starts too quick, Wilder starts too slow.

 

Yeah but what about that Dustin Nichols fight, doesnt that mean Wilder cant win

 

It is obviously far more likely that AJ will land first and Wilder's "unorthodoxy" will leave him far too vulnerable for AJ's early assault. But I am inclined to believe that if Wlad was able to land his right to floor Joshua once, Wilder can do this too: at the very moment, Wilder carries THE most effective punch and arguably the most destructive power in his right. He has a good eye for openings, he is a better finisher than Wlad was, and if Joshua cannot find a certain way of neutralizing that right hand or if he gets carried away in his offense, there is every chance he will get hit. I would not call Wilder's chance only a puncher's chance - he landed this punch against Molina, Szpilka, Arreola, Washington, Ortiz, and destroyed them all with it. Joshua is in a different league but even Takam found a way to hit him hard. He cannot afford this luxury against Wilder.

Extremely interesting fight.

 

Yep and as an AJ fan it’s worrying with how AJ has gassed last couple fights cos nobody can take the power of Wilder, who is a very good finisher

 

The gassing is an issue but maybe this is why AJ is looking less bulky, he’s working to build stamina and endurance for this fight and the future fight against Wilder.
