Contrary to certain beliefs, Deontay Wilder has one of the best chins in HW boxing.

    He had a great fight. I was really impressed with him for all of the topics you mentioned in the other thread.

    However, I still have a feeling he might have an average chin. Definitely not one of the best in boxing.

    I just can't imagine a guy that is 6'7 that weighs 219 pounds be able to consistently take big shots and be able to not hit the canvas.

    Well I only said the HW div. He definitely does though.

    He took some huge shots tonight that would have taken out 95% of other hw's. :deal:deal

    When you're right, you're right!

    :good

    This guy's chin might be in the same league as Tua, it turns out.

    I thought I saw him get wobbled a couple of times but credit that he never went down. I think his power was exposed tonight as a little over-rated as he failed to score KO for first time but showed his boxing IQ under rated. Both were swinging wildly at times. I think at 219lbs Wilder just too skinny to withstand power shot (like the one that KO'd Pulev) from 245lb Klitschko imo

    I definitely take him seriously now. He does have the power and athleticism to do good things.

    I actually bet 150, because I magically received an additional 75 v-cash and threw that down on Stiverne, too.

    I felt bad I didn't put money on the opening when Alibaba's shares where out. I thought I should take back that money by betting on Stiverne (easy money I thought).




    I still should have put money on Alibaba though.

    This might actually be the greatest crow eating day in ESB history.

    The guy who is unanimously hated/doubted the most managed to pull off one of the finest wins in recent memories

    Outboxing a guy despite never going past 4 rounds in any of his bouts
    Pretty much knocked Stiverne down in r2 but was called off at the very end.
    Showed that he could take a hell of a punch by Stiverne, took a lot too and never went down. Wobbled once but that's IT.

    It's a great day to be a Deontay fan, a great great day on ESB for Deontay fans!!!

    Wilder is now the top HW guy in America

    Which means he has proven he is ABOVE AVERAGE for a HW

    But he looked good and did what he needed to do......win

    Stiverne has never been top drawer though so let's be real

    Wilder v Vlad next please, don't think haymon wants that though, he gonna milk this one

    None of them will eat their crow though, all I see are excuses, and people saying Povetkin/Wlad/Fury would beat Wilder LOL. What a bunch of sore losers.

    It's actually funnier seeing the excuses anyways. :lol:. I think in their minds, they know that Wilder is the real deal and that they've been completely wrong about him for the last couple of years. :lol:

    And plus many have eaten it already :).

    Shows how butthurt they are. It's utterly hilarious.

    :lol::nut

    Did you see the shots he took from Stiverne?

    Those shots would have had Arreola doing the chicken dance again + 99% of other hw's.

    Eat that crow, hater. :oops:
