    Does Wilder use his power to get Jack out of there or does Dempsey overwhelm him?

    Wilder can hit and is rangy. He gives Dempsey a tough one.

    To elaborate: Wilder starts slow and has a leaky defence. He's routinely outboxed by journeyman level fighters with no power. He has little footwork and doesn't know how to use his size.

    Dempsey starts very fast and was an accurate power puncher that put legendary beatings on guys. Wilder's going to be in the furnace right away.

    A guy with Wilder's power always has a chance but to me its more likely that Dempsey finds his chin early and straight up mauls him.

    Though Wilder also has a great engine, and showed a very good chin against Ortiz.

    Dempsey ****ing slaughters him. Wilder is too sloppy, too crude, too easily thrown off balance and doesn't have the chin to just eat punches from Jack -which he very likely will have to do.
    Toledo all over again. The comparison may seem facile (as well as inevitable) but it's apt nonetheless.
