Pat I didn't say Kovalev didn't have power. I said he doesn't have one punch KO power. It's not an insult. Kovalevs power didn't really affect Ward.
"Mexico's Last Heavyweight Hope is The Black C**K" Wilder v Washington PBC on Fox 2/25 Fight Thread
- Thread starter yawn
- Start date
1st clean right hand he landed and it was over...and Washington was open for a counter right since the 1st rd. But Wilder still hasn't devoloped a counter right hand or even a lead right hand...only throws his right behind his jab. Washington anticipated this, and stayed out of range and moved/ducked to the right everytime he saw that jab coming...Washington came in with a perfect game plan, stay at distance, freeze him with feints, and keep turning him with side-to-side movement to not allow Wilder to set his feet <<<<<< and NO @patscorpio this doesn't show us anything about how Joshua would fare against Wilder being that he's a damn statue who moves like he's underwater...cut it short chief 
If anything...it shows that Fury would be a problem...a positive for Wilder in this fight, which he's already shown time & time again, is that if it's not there, he won't get reckless and force the issue...he'll be patient until he sees an opening...but that can bite him in the ass against somebody like Fury, who has the type of range to keep him at distance for the full 12...and he might never get in range for that perfect shot.
Also...what are some of yall basing Gerald Washington being some extra terrible boxer on?
The Mansour fight? That was two years ago...two years can be an eternity in boxing, and alot of development can occur in that timespan...look at the difference between Maidana from the Alexander fight and the one from the Floyd/Broner fights.
Just last year he showed that he could completely shut down and OUTBOX a faster guy with good boxing skills (Eddie Chambers) by boxing & moving.
He has decent skills (by modern Heavyweight standards) and he's quick & athletic.

All three fights were entertaining 
Wilder was Wilder again, unimpressive for most of the fight but still won by knockout.
I feel like a good technical boxer, like Wlad, could just take that right hand away from him and beat him convincingly over 12 boring ass rounds
I have to look up this Joseph Parker dude, never saw him fight before

Wilder-Washington Peaked at 1.86 Million Viewers; Averaged 1.76M
By Keith Idec
The “PBC on FOX” boxing tripleheader headlined by WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder’s knockout of Gerald Washington averaged 1.76 million viewers Saturday night, according to ratings released Tuesday morning by Nielsen Media Research.
Viewership for the main event of FOX’s tripleheader peaked at 1.86 million in its final 15 minutes. The rating made the Wilder-Washington fight the most-watched boxing match thus far this year in the United States, though the telecast obviously was available to many more viewers than typical HBO, Showtime and basic-cable broadcasts because it was televised on free TV.
The unbeaten Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) overcame a slow start against Washington (18-1-1, 12 KOs) to drop him with a right hand in the fifth round.
Washington got up, but Wilder drilled the former USC football player with multiple left hooks soon thereafter. Referee Michael Griffin stopped the fight at 1:45 of the fifth round, with a woozy Washington still on his feet, at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Wilder-Washington tripleheader went head-to-head with a Bulls-Cavs game on ABC and a Flyers-Penguins game on NBC on Saturday night.
The NBA game, in which LeBron James didn’t play against former teammate Dwayne Wade, peaked at 2.43 million viewers. The NHL game peaked at 1.91 million viewers.
The Wilder-Washington ratings, while reasonably competitive with the NBA and NHL telecasts, were lower than Wilder’s last appearance on broadcast television. Wilder’s domination of Chris Arreola drew a peak viewership of 2.54 million in a fight also broadcast by FOX on July 16. That fight also took place at Legacy Arena.
Wilder-Washington, which marked the third time Wilder has headlined a show on broadcast television, also drew lower ratings than his 11th-round stoppage of France’s Johann Duhaupas in September 2015 at Legacy Arena. That telecast peaked at 2.36 million viewers on NBC.
