    It's 154 if you must know. Who ever said Wilder had an amazing chin? Not I. I said its better than advertised. I did say that anyone can be hurt if being defensively irresponsible and being caught with a shot you don't see coming and haven't adequately braced yourself for. And yes, even guys with amazing chins that can happen to. Molina's power is underrated, and isn't a club fighter, club fighters don't KO even an old shot Adamek, as evidenced by the fact that he still had enough to beat Haumono and Abell.

    Who said Molina didn't hurt Wilder, I clearly stated that he hurt Wilder, only that, in all likelihood remembering what happened against Arreola, he decided to play it safe. Molina wasn't walking headlong "moving into" Wilder power shots, he was a little more defensively sound in that performance, using subtle head movement, and rolling with many of them, and he wasn't guns blazing like a maniac either, and still, Wilder managed to drop him 4 times and stop him.

    Molina rocked Arreola, leaped on him, started unloading, then Chris landed a left hook off the ropes that sent Molina reeling, then Chris followed up. The punch that led to the KO victory, was a counter left hook off the ropes.

    The money is a given (I think that's now beyond proven), this is all posturing for everything to be in their favor now.

    I just don't think that Ortiz or Kownacki are in the position to demand those type of clauses. Joshua, Wilder, Whyte, Fury etc.... I think all have positions of power that they can demand rematch clauses. The lower radar guys, not so much. I agree with you I do hate the A side, B side thing and especially how prevalent it now is but unfortunately that's where we are today.
