Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Hold Oleksandr Usyk To Be a Man of His Word

[BLASTER1]

Heavyweight action is starting to heat up with good match-ups all round.
pity it wasn't like this 2-3yrs ago when most in their prime

A man of his word dont mean waiting around for you ,Usyk means his next fight . Wilder has already agreed to fight Ruiz , my guess is he will give some runaround speech and so forth . But until I see it I believe Wilder fights Ruiz next even though he will be offered a fight for the belts and once again take the lesser fight .

I would imagine Usyk defeats him soundly but it beats fighting Ruiz in a fight he can also lose for no belts at all , might as well go into the fight where your the underdog .

Wilder is not AJ, if he hurts Usyk its night night. Because of Wilder's length, Usyk will have to take chances, all it takes is one bomb for the onslaught.

wilder was proven to be a hype job no? we knew it was worrying when he was completely schooled twice by ortiz before knocking the old winded man out but the fury fights sealed the deal that he cant compete at the highest level. bad resume and bad in ring performances=byebye hype

Just remember, Usyk is not a 6'9, 280 pound mauling, do whatever it takes to get the W type. He is a true boxer that is about 6'3 , 220 lbs. Fury was willing to do whatever the refs wouldn't call to muddy up the fight and gain the advantage. Even doing so, he got dropped twice. Usyk won't be able to withstand that type of power and punishment

[Rebelrbg]

They are so desperate for publicity lol. Wilder followers are a bunch of idiots.

What happens next is him knocking out every credible opponent that he steps in the ring with, except maybe Fury because Fury can get dropped and continue to get up.

[Rebelrbg]

Joshua is the best ever with his wins against Charles Martin and Dominic Breazeale lol and Wilder is lucky Fury gave him the chance to battle 3 times because he wasn't going anywhere.

Wilder put the beats on Brezeale, and will definitely KO Joshua, whose lack of confidence makes him vulnerable to lesser boxers.

Usyk is a Network Free Agent so ZERO Excuses why this fight can't be made and I do believe Usyk is a man of his word. Wilder really should focus on Helenius though, I don't see that one being easy at all honestly and if he overlooks him he could found himself getting battered like Kownacki

Nah not really that’s not how it works always , to defeat Usyk means you have to hit him with combinations and keep up with his high tenacity pace which Wilder won’t like at all be he’s a selective puncher .

Like I said I give Wilder a punchers chance but it’s marginallly slimmer by a bigger gap, I don’t see him hurting or stunning Usyk in spots like Joshua did . Usyk knows he has stylistically an easier fight and in the process defeats Wilder easier than Fury did , there’s chess matches here and Usyk looking to sink Fury in other ways .

To be honest Wilder was saved in the first fight when they took 2 and a half hours to let him out of the corner.

I'm no great big fan of Mr. Wilder, but he has put Fury on his backside several times and -- according to Fury himself -- gave Fury a concussion. He's a huge man who can hit people really, really hard, and he's got a ton of knockouts to his record. I don't have to be a fanboy to know that he's no hype job, and certainly not after the worthy acknowledgement he received from Fury after their last encounter.

He is and will be.

Can you stop with this nonsense. This fight won`t happen. Wilder is PBC guy and he won`t be allowed to fight Usyk.

Wilder will fight Helenius, if he wins, he fights Ruiz. If he beats Ruiz, he fights somebody like Sanchez for WBC belt, which will Fury vacate.
