Wladimir Klitschko vs Deontay Wilder

No shock losses. 3 times is a pattern.

(Not counting Fury and Joshua)

 

They very much were shocks and rightly so - those guys were massive underdogs against Wlad for a reason.

And Wilder would be as well, if they were fighting prime-prime.

There's levels to boxing and Wilder's is miles below Wlad's.

 

Fast slugfest.

After a couple of blank firings from both, who bursts first the 3rd or 4th clear right hand wins

 

The battle between two all-time greats.

I'm surprised it has taken a whole week for someone to bring this fight up again.

 

Dubblechin is afraid to vote in this poll in case wlad comes of retirement to batter the dosser and make him an even bigger laughing stock around here

 

Even that old Wlad that Fury beat and AJ went life and death with would have KO'd Wilder imo.

No, there aren't any patterns in those losses as all three guys are stylistically different from each other with no sufficient similarities and such losses merely 3 times randomly is the very definition of 'SHOCK'.

 

8-9/10 to win equates to anything between a -400 and a -900 in betting terms. To put it into context, the bookies had Wlad as a -320 against Byrd, -600 against Ibragimov, -650 against Thompson, -680 against Pulev and -800 against Chagaev and Chambers. Wilder is longer, faster with a single punch, more explosive and more durable than Wlad, which are not insignificant advantages and add a considerable element of danger regardless of technical disparities. I think Wilder's chances would be more similar to those given to mini-Wilder Haye, who the bookies thought had about a 1/3 chance.

 

Wlad by wide UD most likely. But if he loses, it's by highlight reel KO. He's certainly a candidate for it. Say, 70/30 Wlad by UD.
