Whats your take? I'm hoping my boy Scott comes in mentally an physically prepared. If he does Wilder is done.
Chisora knocked Scott out. Scott punches like a woman, bad defense and is Wilder's closest friend. Will Scott take a dive for his friend and for more money? Or..........will Scott actually try to hit Wilder? Wilder did not want to fight Scott untill Chisora knocked Scott out. Wilder ran from Chisora, refused to fight him, he also refused to fight Thompson and Fury, while Fury has already beaten Chisora once and will do it again.
Wilder right hand puts away any human...30-0 (KO 30) Everytime Wilder fights, the most logical conclusion is that he will KTFO his opponent He will send Scott where he send former world heavyweight champion White Wolf...expect destruction...Wilder is the force to be feared...
Isn't Wilder part of #TeamScott? Great fight on paper but doesn't feel right because of the friendship. Wilder might be motivated to take Scott out in the first 30 secs (see Audley). If we give Scott the benefit of the doubt, Wilder is probably in trouble. Scott might be hard to put down in the first few rounds and we don't know what kind of stamina Wilder will have.
It's probably going to be some kind of 10 round sparring session between friends. If Wilder were serious about this fight he'd knock the ESB hype job Malik Scott through the ropes and into Al Bernstein's lap in the first round of this fight.
This is Scott's time to shine, if he knocks Wilder out he has a chance to become WBC champion, I hope he thinks this whole thing through and tells Wilder and his crap team to f off.
That has nothing to do with this, Wilder can't take punches at all, Scott has feathers in his fists but that should be enough to knock Wilder out if he connects with a few crosses.
Interesting match-up. Scott likely to be much harder to put away than some of the tomato cans Wilder has crushed.
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=14743&cat=boxer This featherfisted tomato can had Wilder down and badly hurt. Unfortunately there are no available videos of the fight, only pictures.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2QjTroBo4U Heres Wilder getting laid out in the amateurs, now THATS a glass jaw.
Wilder here has the weapons, size, speed and power but Scott has the skills and experience at a higher level. Scott could easily get blown out but if he can avoid Wilder's power and take him beyond 6 rounds he could have a shot at an upset. We have no idea if Wilder can go 6 rounds let alone 12 and while Scott was stopped by Chisora he was not really hurt he simply miss timed the count. I expect Wilder to win but if Scott should somehow win nobody should be too surprised Wilder is jumping up a level here and we all saw what happened to Price when he when moved up in class. And while Scott isn't a puncher we have seen Wilder dropped by a morbidly obese journeymen so Wilder's chin maybe susceptible to even Scott's power.
