RIP MR. SMOKE
At age 34, I think Wilder becoming a better "boxer" would only hurt him. He's already beating better boxers. Deontay is beating chess players by playing checkers. This is one of those times where it's better to just keep shyt simple. I think making any major changes to his arsenal would only distract him. Dude is on some zen shyt in the ring now. His whole gameplan is to sit back and let his opponents walk that tight rope until they slip up. They gotta pitch a perfect game. Meanwhile deontay is just chillin....studying their movements waiting for the perfect time to strike. It's fukkin genius when you think about it. He's putting all the pressure on his opponents.
Deontay was most definitely down 6-0, but he didn't look like a fighter who was getting outclassed. He never looked frustrated. He looked calm and relaxed. Like he knew his time was coming. And boom. Ortiz makes his first mistake and it's a wrap. People keep saying deontay's power bails him out, but he's definitely methodical in his approach. Deontay may not be great technically, but he's a very smart fighter. What he lacks in skill he makes up for in ring IQ. Every time he's getting outboxed he always finds a way. His style is unorthodox but it actually works in his favor. He's a nightmare for these technical guys. I say he just focuses on shortening up his punches and keeping his offense compact. He's already shown a lot of improvement in this area. A lot of these knockouts are coming off beautifully placed punches. I barely even seen that punch last night. shyt completely caught ortiz off guard. And that's credit to deontay's intelligence.
