[George's Dilemma]

There is one thing that I feel like Joshua can do to exploit a flaw in Wilder's style.

AJ doesn't really move his head like that, but he keeps a high guard on defense and he does bend his knees to duck punches every now and then when he's facing opponents his size. He has a naturally composed fighting stance.

He'll need to keep that in mind once he gets hurt and Wilder starts getting wild and flailing bombs to finish him. Most dudes try to back up and create distance, but fail since Wilder already has a crazy reach so dudes end up getting caught at the end of his punches. The guys who don't back up, make the mistake of bending forward like Ortiz, but they end up getting caught with rabbit punches and they can't see the punches coming.

Joshua needs to duck/crouch (not bend over forward) while maintaining his high guard and stay close to Wilder. He'll make Wilder miss with those wild hooks, but it'll also make Wilder throw the uppercut. Joshua needs to parry/deflect the uppercut and counter that with an overhand right. Wilder is open for that punch. These heavyweights need to train to react to Wilder during this moment, because it always happens and nobody knows how to get through it.

The opposite of everyone having a plan until they get hit

You can tell Charlo is genuinely offended that Brook would really go in his direction after getting both of his eye sockets broken

Pretty much.

Wilder eventually puts hands on everybody no matter how bad he's getting outboxed or losing.
May as well train to prepare for that moment and build the reactive instincts to survive it and then conquer it.

Just in case the S Florida guys want to drop in

Is Joseph Parker getting 5% split then? Because Parker is B-Side to Wilder.


I actually heard Parker is getting a 33% split.....so that means Wilder is getting much more than a 10-15% split

Naw bro, that's relative.

Is Parker a B Side in America? Mos Def

Is Parker a B Side in New Zealand? NO


Parker is more well known to the UK and euro market than Wilder is. He has some drawpower and hes waaaay more of a draw in his country than Wilder is in his obv.

Real man.......Real Champion.....Any real man will want to avenge any type of L

Props to Brook for wanting Charlo but idk why is he doing this shyt with Spence now...

Idk the style seems strange, like he would have some personal problem with Spence who seems like a good guy, not even a trash talker like that

Also they just fought a year ago and Spence has plans in 147, Brook know that too

His problem is he was kicking Spence ass before the eye, seriously working his ass.....You think the man doesnt think about this......

Kicking his ass is a big exaggeration. They were each other’s equal partners until like the 7th round whereas Spence started to break him down

Winky would have been a major problem for anybody today between 47 and 60

Would have liked to see him fight Oscar

Breh....Parker's last fight vs Fury was shown live on youtube


After flirting with YouTube PPV, Mick Hennessy is delighted to be back on free-to-air TV
Fans fume at being charged £9.99 to watch Hughie Fury vs Joseph Parker on YouTube


fans being pissed they have to pay $10 to see him fight



UK promoter confirms only 5000 tickets sold for Joseph Parker's world title defence

The British promoters of Joseph Parker's WBO world heavyweight title defence have conceded they have only sold 5000 tickets for this weekend's fight.

Parker takes on Hughie Fury in the 21,000 seater Manchester Arena on Sunday (NZT) and the impressive indoor stadium will be struggling to be anywhere near half full.

Hennessy Sports have blocked out the top tier of 9000 seats from the start of their ticket drive.

"We laid it out for 10,000, we've done 5000 and we're looking to try to get to as close to 10,000 as possible.

And then only 5k people showed up in the arena


Yo, I don't care if they were on Pluto............he's not a bigger draw than Wilder & he would be the B-Side to him easily


Wilder just did 1.2 million on Showtime, not HBO or ESPN breh. He'd do 10+ mill on youtube

I’ve never seen somebody even effectively hold wilder while the onslaught is happening which is scary but your strategy is sound hopefully they get it right in camp. Make no mistake wilder will catch you and his power is almost unprecedented.
