    This is what I thought would happen with a few decent ones sprinkled in

    Wilder turns 40 next week and he fights only once/year.

    So if he KO's the next seven fighters he faces he'd get to number 50 by age 47.

    But considering he's only won 2 of his last 6, at that rate he'd need to have at least 18 more fights to win 7 and at a run rate of 1 fight/year he'd be pushing 60 years old to get to 50 KO's.

    In short, I'm voting no!

    Genuinely think his power has gone. He relied on a quick snapping delivery to depart people from their sense. He looks slow now, people can see the punches coming. Now the speed has gone so has the element of surprise.

    Yeah, he looked very slow against Herndon. Hit him flush multiple times with the right hand but couldn't put him away.

    I highly doubt it. After a couple more brutal stoppage losses, he will give up on this quest.

    update:

    He's not even gonna win 7 more fights...................let alone by ko/tko. He couldn't stop someone who's been melted multiple times, the writing is on the wall.

    If Wilders adds his KO losses to his KO wins it’s only 4 more fights,and I can’t even see him having that many more fights tbh ! Wilder is shot,no athleticism,no power and very predictable now . However he is still as delusional as ever so who knows !

    Wilder won't fight as many people as slow as chisora who is rugged and tough but sluggish and open to a shot. His little Indian summer has been well matched hasn't it? but a top fighter especially one who is a power puncher should be getting him out of there.
    Wilder has maybe 1 or 2 fights left. Probably needs matching carefully. 2 fight win streak.. throw the money land an AJ fight or fight past it fighters to stay active.

    He should just fight AJ and call it a day.

    Not if his fights are in England. (I'm only being slightly sarcastic.)

    Wilder could've had another stoppage as early as Round 3 Saturday night, if the corrupt ref didn't jump in as the round was winding down and tell Wilder to stop punching a hurt Chisora, so the ref could stand there and talk to Chisora for the rest of the round.

    Or in the eighth round, when Chisora's handlers pushed him back in.

    Or in the eighth round AGAIN when a hurt and dead-legged Chisora fell out of the ring again, and the referee pulled him back in and took a point away from WILDER.

    Wilder knocked his opponent down at least five times (and his opponent was allowed to call timeout once) ... on Saturday ... and ref only counted two knockdowns (and had to be coerced into calling the second in the 11th round by a ringside official keeping time for the knockdowns) or he wouldn't have called that one either.
