POLL - Joshua v Wilder - Who you Got ?

I hear ya there Beetlejuice but Wilder has done AND said some questionable things now. I’m praying for a double KO. You never know... Stranger things have happened.

 

I really, really hope Parker pulls it off and ends up going in there with Wilder. I like to at least route for someone in big fights.


But Joshua clips Wilder out inside 5 or 6.

 

I voted for Joshua, but won't be surprised if Wilder knock him out. Joshua seems to have a problem with stamina, and can also miss the blows from Wilder.

 

Wilder just defended against a very dangerous Ortiz. He deserves Lateef Kayode as a tune up

 

I think Joshua's more polished and more proven and would favour him, but Wilder's power must be considered legit so it's always a wildcard.

 

VERY easy fight for AJ

 

Joshua is rightfully the favourite, but I suspect the betting value would be on Wilder.

 

Wilder literally pulled out a come from begind win because his 45 year old opponent on blood pressure meds looked about ready to keel over from a heart attack.

Come on now

 

I actually think the stoppage was due to the facial damage combined with takam not being competetive.

There was no sign of joshua gassing and takam was just taking a beating with no upside.

 

Last nights result didn't really change anything in terms of how I think Joshua/Wilder would play out.

Joshua has to be the favourite and a big one. No way Wilder out boxes Joshua, we've seen him lose plenty of rounds to Szpilka and out boxed by Washington and Ortiz. Wilder is easily forced out of position by feints and jabs, 2 things Joshua utilises. Wilder also is wary of counters, we saw that vs Szpilka and Ortiz and that with him being put out of position shuts down his offence. Joshua of course has adopted a catch and counter style, that combined with his size points to Joshua out boxing Wilder.

But Wilder obviously has legit power and has now proved it against a quality opponent. He will always be dangerous and has a punchers chance. But he has too set his feet and commit to leading if he is to utilise his power and against Szpilka, Washington and Ortiz it took him several rounds to do so and while he got away with that vs non punchers Szpilka and Washington and the natural counter puncher Ortiz against a fighter like Joshua who has the power and ability to finish a fighter it doesn't bode well for Wilder.

 

Well said.

 

I think the poll is very biased towards Wilder. This is obviously a very easy fight for Joshua.
