    Rocky is a better fighter than Wilder, I've no doubt on that. But is he good enough to make up the difference in height, reach and weight? No.

    Wilder has one punch power, so no matter how much success Rocky has at any point it only takes one punch and Wilder has the fight in the bag.

    Let's be honest, Wilder can win behind the jab alone here, Rocky would need a Hail Mary shot to do the job here and judging by round 7 last night, a full round of hail mary shots won't be enough to win him the fight.

    Wilder is a massive favourite. I don't even think I can give Rocky a punchers chance here.

    This is about it. As with Joshua some need to calm the farm and give him a bit more time.
