That Boxing.

Post by Yorick »

While waiting for the Joshua fight, I'm watching the Wilder fight.
He looks like an amateur. But the commentary team keep saying he's waiting for his monster knock out punch.

That's if he lasts that long.

Like you say, Wilder looked like an amateur and was totally outclassed. AJ looked much sharper in his fight but then he hardly had any opposition. Based on both their performances i'd say AJ is in with a good shot if they do fight.

And that's the whole Wilder career in a nutshell.

If anything, he's actually got worse at boxing the longer his career has went on, he has decent punch resistance and absolutely freaky power but that's it, Fury absolutely schooled him in the second and third fights and now Parker, who's not exactly Ali, has boxed the head off him.

It's hard to see where he goes from here.
