    I’m not sure now who wins this fight, I used to strongly favour Joshua but I’ve got it 50/50 now.
    I’m sure though that Hearn doesn’t fancy it at all.

    When Wilder first came up I said his hands were too far in front of his face to be useful on defense, that his shots got wide at times, and that his feet were often too far apart.

    40 fights in and I can say the same things. That's the frustrating part is that there's been no technical improvement.

    He hasn't fought anybody who could fully take advantage of those flaws yet. But if Gerald Washington's jab landed at will, so will AJ's. Ortiz routinely landed hooks around Wilder's outstretched hands and nearly knocked him out.

    AJ is a clear step up from those two.

    Wilder has gone out of his way to make this fight happen.

    Yeah, litteraly, out of his own way and out of Hearns way, when he was chasing them arround in NY, too.
    Both of them have been messing around at one point or another.
