Wilder looks weight drained/overtrained

You make an excellent point I’m not sure a man with his frame thinks it’s ok to come in that light vs a heavy handed Ortiz.

The only thing I could think of is the possibility of him cutting out red meat from his diet which when I experimented with it myself took off 5 immediate pounds in a month from my 6’3 frame 220 to 215 with no other change in diet or exercise

 

Wilder has been heading in this direction for a while now. His highest weight was 229 pounds in 2015. But since then he's been gradually coming in lighter in subsequent fights. I don't know why. It can't be by mistake or nonchalance. He's a world class athlete, they have nutritionists for this stuff.

 

Did you replace red meat with something that was equally as calorie dense? Wilder has a nutritionist I'm sure and they would be hitting the required daily calorie intake with or without red meat.

 

He was very lean and somewhat slim even at his heaviest weight


but now as thin as he looks, he must be struggling to gain more endurance, I suppose


but it has to come at the cost of power, he seems to have lost size and that’s not good again someone like Ortiz who is a durable tank and can punch like a jackhammer


I see Ortiz catching Wilder early to mid, and wilder being knocked out

Count in it

 

Maybe a bit more salmon from what I recall but i certainly wasn’t shy with the seasoning.

 

Can't imagine a 6'7" guy would been very agile or fast of feet anyways at any weight. He has such a high center of gravity. If I was Wilder I'd have stayed at 230 and tried to hone my skills and keep my guard tight.

 

I dont understand why he has come in so light. He already has enough of speed advantage over Ortiz

 

I think it’s a mistake to be this light against Ortiz or any of the other Champs for that matter. 214 is unhealthy light for a 6’7 heavyweight boxer, something must be wrong...

 

Actually, Wilder appears to be in excellent shape. He must have felt Ortiz is a real threat and trained very hard to be ready to go 12 rounds if necessary.

I'm certain Wilder will beat the old man tomorrow night. Ortiz is too fat and will gas after several rounds, then Wilder will probably knock him out or at least give him a severe beating.
