"Mr. Lets Go Champ Turned Out To Be A Chump" Wilder v Szpilka SHOWTIME Jan 16th Fight Thread

[krackdagawd]

I think his upper body is fine, but I still think he should put on some weight in his legs. That would put him in the 230's weight wise.
He could still retain his speed and hopefully wouldn't slow his legs down.

What do you think?

Yeah it's tricky because size =/= strength. Bulking up could bring up stamina issues mixed in with his chin would be

breh he was getting outboxed half the fight..his power bailed him out

Yeah, Wilder was looking sloppy. Too sloppy to try and land his punches and left himself open a lot. Szpilka just never capitalized.
Wilder still has the same concerns I had before the fight: doesn't cut the ring off well, looks for the right hand, throws a limited repertoire of punches, and still hasn't disproved he is chinny.

That said, he is a good athlete, has good handspeed, and has great power. With today's class of HW he certainly can potentially compete vs. anyone, but there are a lot of holes.

wilder is not that great

struggles way too much against unknowns


ortiz gonna dead everyone

You nikkas better hope so because y'all certainly gassing the shyt out of him.

beleea that!

Well I see Wilder throw alot of off balance punches, and he still leaving his feet throwing them sometimes. I could see him and Fury being competitive, but I don't think he has a chance against Ortiz.Ortiz would catch him more often with alot harder shots than either Fury or Szpilka ever could.

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

I find Ortiz intriguing because he has great power, but in the Jennings fight he got hit with a lot of clean punches and I thought Jennings hurt him a couple of times and backed Ortiz off.

Ortiz vs. Wilder would be a great fight. Someone would get KO'd.

Ortiz does boxing things that would confuse the shyt out of Wilder

 

[HARLEM AL]

Al you seen him ?

Yeah, he's alright. I don't think he's that much better than everyone else. He is a little bit more technical Than other HW.

Thing is wilder is tall as shyt though. Fighting someone that height isn't easy. Ortiz got to get inside.

I don't think he's heads and shoulders better either. I think he has a wider skillset and is just a bad matchup for the other three although you're correct he'd have to get inside their reach. I think his uppercut(which is nasty) would be real effective there, especially coming from the SP stance.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Hmmmm, Fury puts hands on Wilder and has him gone in 8.

Should have happened in the first fight but Fury was just getting out detox and shyt. I got a focused Fury this time and I saw was had seen from back then. Over 4 years ago.
