Bugner is big....and he can box and slug a bit. And Wilder's forte' is not boxing. Could Bugner win an ABC Hvywt Title "today"?
He would’ve won the WBO belt from Parker or the IBF one from Martin but he wouldn’t have beaten Wilder, Joshua or Fury.
If the fight went the distance and Bugner had a good chin, I think he can take this on points. Wilder’s not a great boxer and his output isn’t that high. Assuming it’s a 100% motivated Bugner then I think his jab can win this.
Great matchup actually. Wilder is still so damn hard to pin down. You've got to keep that right hand out for the whole damn fight from indications so far tho i still look forward to seeing him tested more. If i had to pick guys to beat him at this point i'd lean toward guys that could get him out of there. Guys like Tyson, Lewis and Bowe would be good choices for me. Maybe we don't have to reach that high, time will tell. I'd favor him to beat Joe.
Wilder easily. Once Bugner felt his power he would try to peck and poke his way to a decision. Wilder knocks him out.
Bugner would still be there at the end of the fight ,but the score's would read something like 9 /3 for Wilder .Joe does a good job of not getting caught by Wilders most explosive bomb's and countering but DW s aggression pushers Bugner in to his shell .
I would say a typical Wilder fight, he does enough to win and Bugner lets him get away with it. Wilder wins a U12 by about two points on each card. Say...113-111, 115-113, and 115-113
