For all the talk about Wilder having a bad defense he doesn't get hit anywhere near as often as a guy like Usyk and nobody talks about it. Double standards I guess.
That little African fighter was hitting him with counters, Hunter was landing plenty when he was up 4-0, Huck was landing hard shots throughout the fight, Briedis was landing all night as well.
Usyk is a tough cardio machine, but his defense is his limit.
Yeah, I notice when a guy gets hit like that he has bad defense and when he doesn't he's boring. I need a guideline for the right amount of times you're supposed to get hit so I won't be boring or have bad defense.
When your opponents are on your level or close to it then you see a fighters weaknesses, Usyk was facing one of the best opponent in his weight class, once Wilder does the same thing then you can judge him in the same regards, so far Wilder hasn’t and people still see those weaknesses in his arsenal, and his is against sub par opponents.
Usyk stays in the pocket for too long and goes out in straight lines and he's in against the very best of a strong division. Of course he's gonna get hit, what do you people expect?
"Floyd Mayweather's defence is bad, he got hit so hard by Mosley and bums like Cotto and Maidana and Oscar and even an old Pacquiao who is overrated anyway and can't do anything without roids, blaaaablaaaablaaaa."
GTFO, agenda *******s.
That poster has a knack of cherry picking specific statistics and 'facts' to prove a point in one-sided fashion, rather than analyzing the entirety of something. I.E. Non-credible and non-objective.
- Oleksandr Usyk has never been stopped in his amateur or pro career combined spanning over hundreds of bouts. Whilst Deontay Wilder has (against some smaller sized opponents and in humiliating / brutal fashion too).
- Deontay Wilder has been stunned multiple times against non-elite or top opponents more than Usyk has who is still yet to be stunned, despite already having fought more 'top' and 'elite' opponents in his weight division.
- Deontay Wilder's 'defense' hasn't yet been tested against the very TOP / ELITE opponents in his weight division whilst Usyk's has. Therefore, it's a false equivalence fallacy to even compare the two's defense. Usyk got hit just as little, if not less than Wilder has when he was also fighting against lower tier opposition which Wilder commonly fights against.
Let us know how good Wilder's defense is against the likes of Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Kubrat Pulev, Alexander Povetkin and some of the other top / elite boxers in the heavyweight division.
And the last time he fought one of the top / elite boxers in Johan Duhapas, Wilder's face was badly messed up from punches he took from Duhapas. Ergo, proving Wilder's defense really isn't that good as you're claiming it to be.
And for all of Usyk's supposed 'defensive badness', he is still yet to be dropped, stopped or even badly hurt / stunned. Until then, his defense is good enough if he is able to continue winning.

Yes, I was also not impressed with Usyk today. He surely has stamina but did not see that knock out power and was plenty open to be connected with.
I really think Usyk vs Gassiev/Dorticos will be a great fight and would give Usyk a hell of a lot of trouble.
Yes, and Wilder is a top 10 HW of all time, and this the greatest era in HW history and Tomas Adamek would destroy all the current CWs in his prime.
We get it.
You learn fast. Good.
