    I always said that if DW had just a few basics down, like a good jab, counter punching, etc. he would be a force. But "ifs" are created in fantasy land.

    Don House told a few that Wilder had a broken hand going in against Parker.

    If Wilder comes in healthy, injury free, will destroy Zhang.

    :lol: What? Zhang keeps power late does he? Not sucking wind like a dying cow? Have you actually watched Zhang fight?

    If Bang throws 5 punches a round he's dying by the fourth. :lol: But sure buddy, his keys to victory are tire Deontay out. Because he does very well in the late stages of fights.

    Let me be very clear if Zhang detonates on Wilder's Glass Jaw like he did to Parker in the early rounds Wilder will get knocked out. Wilder will not be able to take the punches Parker did.

    Huh? I never said that lol. I said Zhang lands on everyone early, so this will end early. Wilder will need to catch Zhang before Zhang catches him (which will have to be early)

    This fight isn't going to the late rounds.

    The official confirmation version, yes. For me, mentally and unofficially he retired in the build up to the parker fight.


    Wilder is damaged goods. He's topping up his piggy bank here.

    :lol: Wilder is a coddled Glass Jawed fighter. He has no Chin. None. Zhang is going to put an end to Wilder's career on Saturday with a highlight reel KO.

    Wilder had been in one boring fight and that was with Parker.

    If Wilder lets his hands go this should be a nice TKO/KO win for him around the 7th.

    I think that I like the odds on Wilder. He's a bust, but Zhang is a six round fighter and forty-one years old. Wilder's activity late against Parker was actually OK, once he saw the disaster unfolding he was actually able to throw twenty punches a round. Zhang managed that just once in the final third of this fight.

    I think this could get really interesting after the turgid middle rounds but I think the last four could be wild if it goes that far and I think that Wilder will win them.

    Based off what?

    Do you understand the black money that’s triggering Wilder?

    There’s a lot involved here.

    Can he let his hands go is the question going in, because if he can't pull the trigger like in the Parker fight, he's going to get battered imo. He needs to come out fast utilize a good jab and throw his power shots right out the gate.

    I'll root for Zhang to knock Wilder out because a. anyone who says "I want a body on my record" deserves to be beaten to a bloody pulp and b. it would further prove that Fury's resume is garbage and he ducked Joshua because beating Wilder over and over was easy as pie.
