Depends what he hits him with and how. He hits him with a full-blown straight right? Yeah that's a problem for Usyk. He hits him with anything else though is not much. Wilder has the best one-punch KO power with his straight/overhand right but his other punches aren't super hard.
That jab is stiff and yeah Uysk would avoid it but it's still a 12 round fight. Wilder is more athletic than Joshua..gotbto fight to see a winner. I know all these canelo fans are so used to him facing beatable guys that they think they have matches figured out but here we are in 2021 and he's STILL AVOIDING Andrade instead of fighting him and Uysk has NEVER faced anyone with Wilders fight changing punching power.

I would never bet against Wilder cause he's shown a penchant for landing that bomb of a right hand in multiple fights where he's getting his ears boxed off.
He's too dangerous for any fight to be a sure thing.
But Usyk is obviously a far superior boxer to Wilder. So he would be favored
Way superior boxer...anybody can see that but Wilder still can knock him out in any round at any point.

Just finished watching. I was really shocked how confused Joshua was in there. He did not know what to do with that southpaw style at all. I gave him 3 rounds only. He will get beat in an immediate rematch, he needs to get someone who will teach him how to bully a southpaw who fights in angles. His current trainer obviously wont be able to.
He needed to fight like he was Errol Spence...stay busy, body work, jab with distance..he needed to fight like he was Crawford..counter over shots and place range, time Uysk when he was in range. Joshua doesn't fight like that. The Uysk puzzle is something Joshua might not be able to figure out.

So now anyone can beat Wilder magically...like Wilder ain't been outboxed in nearly every fight but still knocks nyggas out cold.

haha exactly

I get that Wilder aint the most popular guy on here. I'm not exactly a bombsquad member myself. But this narrative of Wilder being an automatic win for anyone with a pulse is getting ridiculous now.

The man has a 94% KO rate. This idea that Wilder can only beat top guys by transforming into a Heavyweight Mayweather and masterfully outboxing his opponents is, was and will always be a fxcking lie.

All he has to do is successfully disguise/set up his right hand. Its that lethal. He has 12 whole rounds to figure out a way to let that cannon connect ONCE. Yall have any idea how insanely dangerous that is? If you dont stop the fight early, its quite literally a matter of time before you get dropped. No one is safe, you could get bodybagged any second. Writing off that type of power in any fight is the dumbest thing you could possibly do.

Defo needs to drop McCracken. I get AJ wanting to be loyal but he's clearly not teaching him anything new - loyalty gets you nowhere in boxing.

maybe we’ll see something similar to when roach came in and helped fury .. although they said roach was just the cut man if I’m not mistaken, that was obviously not what it was

contrary to popular belief, I think joshua can definitely knock this fukker out, he was walking through guys with force once upon a time and even tho that could be risky with usyk I still think he has what it takes

I see that going around a lot too...underestimate one of the hardest hitters in Heavyweight history brehs :russ: MOST of the heavy weights out right now would not get up from that right hand

He can definitely knock him out but will he want to rough him up and trade to get there like he used to be before Ruiz knocked him down 4x.

Literally only one human on earth has ever managed to avoid Wilder's power long enough to decisively outbox him... and that one guy only managed it in a rematch AFTER he tasted it himself:

The idea that anyone and everyone can "Just jab and dance circles around bum ass Wilder" for 12 straight rounds is laughable. Only one dude has proven he can do it and nothing I saw from either Joshua or Usyk last night led me to believe they could replicate that result. I think the entire reason Fury was the one guy to find success against Wilder was because literally no one on the planet moves/feints like he does while being legit 6'9 on top of that. Joshua is maybe the stiffest top ranked heavyweight and as brilliant as Usyk is he ain't 6'9, he don't have Fury's chin, and he isn't "technical" in the unorthodox way that Fury is either.

And this is the big question. He has not been the same since that Ruiz beating. If I remember correct, AJ started boxing different since the Parker fight, too cautious, a little afraid to throw his hands :snoop:

But people forget the Fury that Wilder faced in that first fight was not 100 % .. he needed at least another fight to properly tune up for a world title fight against Wilder, but he took the fight anyway.
The best test Wilder faced before Fury was an aging Ortiz who nearly knocked his ass out before Wilder connected. Wilder showed heart that nite tho, he was getting fukked up

Still won though..he always gets outboxed but still knocks your ass out. So these wild crazy takes that Uysk is gonna pummel Wilder are hilarious in itself.

No killers in his camp to encourage this kind of attitude - he's surrounded by these social media fitness kinda guys, not real boxing people. Check this Roy Jones interview IFL put up earlier, he says it best.
