Wilder vs Usyk

I feel like Wilder's punches have the potential to do more damage to Usyk than AJ's punches. However, Usyk's excellent defense combined with Wilder's haphazard throws may mean Wilder misses a lot, gases out, and Usyk wins a decision. To Wilder's credit, I don't see Uysk being strong enough to knock out Wilder, and for a heavyweight champion, Usyk has a pretty low KO percentage anyways, and he couldn't knock down AJ either.

So i see the likeliest outcome being Usyk winning by decision, but there's a marginal possibility of Wilder hitting Usyk with a bomb and winning by KO.

 

I like them both for different reasons.Usyk is levels above Wilder as a boxer and will make him look foolish until..Bomb Squad!!

 

uh, the highest KO percentage in heavyweight history would be a good place to start

 

To people saying Wilder will KO, tell me 2, just 1 opponent who Wilder face and actually have chin between tier 1-3. Im listening.
And Wilder was send to the canvas by f**** featherfiated Harold Sconier. Let's not mention that they erase the footage from the entire Internet. And plenty of people are saying the count was way above 10+ seconds and then the ref carried Wilder away. Let's not forget the shady stuff in Ortiz 1 and that literally ref gave Wilder time to recover.
Wilder chin maybe average, but his legs are pure China.

 

Ruiz is happening next. Wilder doesn't have any say in who he fights. Al Haymon picks his fights for him.

 

Against cans. No Wlad Klitschko, no Alexander Povetkin, no Tyson Fury, no Anthony Joshua. Just cans.

 

I think Usyk will knock him out.

 

Yeah, it is concerning actually. Wilder has faster hands than AJ and more reach. People underestimate his ability to hit the target even though he's landed big shots on various skilled boxers by now.
You can only dodge so many of them over the course of a 12 round fight. Ask Fury about it.
People go on about 'skill' but in the end there are elements here that are just about natural timing/accuracy/speed etc., and it's just there sometimes and is hard to avoid.
Is Wilder an unbearable low-life? Of course. But objectively Wilder is good at landing the RH on people's heads.
And the sad reality is he does have a chance of landing it on Usyk.

 

I dont think JJ, AJ, Gas and Majidov has ever knocked out two people cold moving backwards though like Wilder

 

While Wilder no doubt hit's harder than Joshua. But I don't think Wilder ever lands with his full power on a defensively skilled boxer like Usyk.

Joshua was able to do it because he sets up his shots and disguises his shots better than Wilder. That's something Molina said when comparing the two, Wilder has the crazy power but with Joshua he couldn't see where the next punch was coming from.

Joshua is dangerous with more than one punch unlike Wilder. All Usyk has to do is avoid the right hand and so while Wilder may not need to land as many, he won't land with anything like his full power on Usyk because he telegraphs his punches and Usyk makes so few mistakes to exploit.

 

Has people already forgotten that Wilder got KO'd in the amateurs with big gloves on? Like now he came in too light and he is more vulnerable to damage at his lowest weighs. The guy he fought was not a huge puncher either. But Wilder overthrew himself got out of balance and countered. I can definitely see Usyk giving him that kind of treatment aswell.

Usyk would feel like a prime Mike Tyson to Wilder.

 

It was Robert Helenius. I give him credit for the win...but it was Robert Helenius.
