Ike lands a big shot. Deontay falls to the canvas. If Deontay is unlucky, he rises to his feet. Ike puts him down hard again. Fight over.
Wilder finally meets a guy that wants to rough him up and has the power to do so. Wilder realises that he can't box so well, and that Ike's chin > his chin. Wilder wakes up with somebody shining a little light in his eyes.
Really bad style matchup for Wilder. I can’t see Ike letting Wilder get the space he needs to fire off his right hand effectively. However, Ike was also crazy and didn’t always fight to his potentional, so anything is possible.
If Ike can find the elusive Byrd he can find Wilder who is far from a defensive wizard. I see this ending inside 3 rounds. Also for what it's worth Byrd and Tua both beat Wilder.
Wilder, an awkward long skinny guy with a questionable chin with a lightning bolt of a right hand and not much else vs. a volume punching, stalking, musclebound two handed puncher with what looked to be one of the most magnificent chins this side of Oliver Mcall? Surely you jest...........
Completely agree, but for the record, I didn't think Ike beat Tua. Although that matters little here, styles and whatnot.
