nice win but just a little to excited after beating manswell. he looked like he practiced his interview before hand. beat jason gavern or nicolai firtha then i'll take you seriously.

Wow, Wilder comes across as a real narcissistic, irritating black dickhead, which means he should go over BIG with Klitschko-hating American boxing fans.

Bunch of pathetic setups. A guy with 62 losses fighting Salida???!!!!! Another Wilder no hoper. And another hand picked fighter for Velez after he was dominated in his last fight and was given a gift. Now another unbeaten fighter stopping a sub 500 fighter in the first round as I am watching. GARBAGE!!

Wow, if that was practiced (and it probably was), that's even sadder.

Wilder is a totally unlikeable assh*le in my book.

Which means American boxing fans will love him: he's what they've been waiting for!

And what's with the toothpick calves on Wilder? He looks physically unbalanced -- bulky upper torso and toothpick legs.

Now they are showing the Pillsbury Doughboy who is 9-9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fat accountant pulled from a desk job!!!! What a sick fuking poor excuse of a card!! Where is ShowBox when you need it???? We get 2-0 guy going against a 9-9 fighter where ShowBox gives us 18-0 fighters going against 15-0 fighters and the like!

In Wilder's defense he had a decent opponent lined up but he got injured pulled out late. At that point all he can do is make quick work of the late sub they got him. Which he did.

He needs to cut the Ali impressions he does in interviews -- that was just painful to listen to.

Wilder finally added some weight. He was to light before for his height.
