I see the fight playing out like Bruno vs. Bonecrusher Smith with Joshua getting tired as Wilder swinging for the fences until Joshua goes down. This content is protected Also, Bruno was 21-0 like Joshua is now before he tasted defeat. When Wilder is done Joshua will share another similarity with Bruno and be 21-1after being beat on his home turf. I really think Joshua is going to regret not going to America and taking that $50 million guarantee, since win or lose that would've been easy money.
Some of his USA fans like me will be flying over to watch the fight. But I don't see Joshua being able to handle Wilder's power. I will be glad if all the belts come back to America but I still feel like Fury had his belt stolen from him. Fury is the Trump of boxing because he is not PC. The UK is full of liberal wimps. Fury should move to the USA and fight here. We would love him here. But I live close to Wilder and he is a good guy. I hope he beats Joshua. Joshua will not rule out fighting in the UFC proves he is a money hungry idiot. Joshua would get killed in the UFC with his weak chin.
I was with you until you started talking up Fury and Trump as being anti pc. Trump is a puppet who is no different to Obama and all other presidents who have no true power Fury is over here kissing up and sending messages to the Royal Family. And he didn't have his belts stolen. He should have been stripped and the fight with Wlad voided, due to being on roids when he fought.
Not a Wilder fan, but if he has agreed to come to the UK and the $50m is genuine for AJ, then i can't see a reason for AJ to decline the fight. If he does, what can his excuse be. AJ is minted, it would take his wealth to around £66 mill.. And he's still young. Then there would be the re match. I'd fight either for £1 mill and once i was revived after the first decent punch would enjoy my life.
Femi is better than Bruno, bigger, quicker with more output, he is pretty stiff though and his tank can empty when clipped. Bruno was less aggressive except in clinches where he rabbit punched like feck. The only edge on Femi i would give Bruno is his ramrod jab.
Agree with the jab. Big Frank had a great jab. If AJ don't take this, i'd say Frank had bigger balls as well as the jab..
Who has AJ fought with real power in their prime lol. Some people just love to chat sheet. It's a 50-50 fight. Maybe another paid off British ref helps AJ but there's only so much they can do when Wilder likes to keep it long.
I have conceded this is not a gimme fight for AJ. Wilder has unorthodox power for his size, which is not that big for HW's. If I were an oddsmaker I would make AJ a 2-1 favorite. There are two ways Wilder may win this fight. A big shot or AJ gasses, which is a real possibility. I suspect instead it will be "Deontay, welcome to the ranks of the REAL heavyweights." We'll see. As to real power, no question even though Wlad was older, he still had power. Power is the last thing a fighter loses. Martin, Breazeale, Takam, Parker all had legitimate power, based on their KO%.
He felt power and went down, did not get stopped , just because wlad was 41, that’s all. If you think AJ is something special, then wlad is the god.
If Wilder has agreed to come to the UK I have to believe that means the $50M is off the table. Why would Wilder guarantee $50M when he is making the concession? No, no doubt this means Wilder is off the hook but he has to go to enemy territory to make it happen. If this is true, that Wilder has agreed to fight in AJ's backyard, I give him all the props. He deserves it
Femi is discussing the details of a fight against Povetkin. So it looks like this Deontay fight is as good as off.
So you agree AJ has never faced a prime fighter with KO power. Thanks for backtracking on that. I don't know how many fighters with power AJ's fought at all beyond old inactive Wlad coming off a loss. Maybe you can educate me. Unbeaten Ortiz has huge power and was younger than Wlad. Only real difference is Wilder took tons of big shots and stood up to all of them. AJ took one from a badly hurt and gassed old man and went down like a sack of sheet. Wilder came back the next round fresh and won it. AJ needed 5 rounds to recover and got completely outboxed in every one. If Ortiz hit AJ like he hit Wilder, he would have finished AJ's paper title reign for good.
