    Very much this. There is a difference between power and having the ability to land the power. Teddy Atlas likened it to ballistic missile. It's only as good as it's guidance system.

    How many times have we seen destructive punchers suddenly "lose their power" against skilled boxers? The power doesn't go away, it's the ability to land it cleanly that's the issue

    I'm not saying Wilder wins (but I won't be surprised if he does) but I think he will find landing his power easier against Zhang then he did against Parker.
    Wilder did a little trick he is not doing anymore or other boxers are not allowing him to do:

    He would put his left hand on you face and then land the right from behind without the fighter seeing it.

    Any HW that does land and unwatched blow will probably KO his opponent.

        I really hope Wilder wins now.

        He’s below the bridgerweight limit, along with the Usyk victory it would obliterate the need for that ridiculous division.

          The way Wilder has looked in his last fight, I just don't see how you can pick him. I think he's in it for a check. The only way he wins is early ko. I see Zhang drilling him in a similar way he dispatched Joyce in their second fight.

            Id like to see cruiser drop back down to 190, then have a supercc cruiser weight up to 210. This would open up a division that allows lt heavies to work their way up into, while having that lower weight class for the smaller heavies to work their way up from

              "Old Semen" should be able to smeak the right hand on this one.

                  Joseph Parker emphatically stated that Zhang hits MUCH harder than Wilder, and we know he hits more often.

                  Wilder is most likely going to be in serious trouble tomorrow.

                    ZZ Flop or The Brown Bum

                    I'd rather Wilder win.

                      This is going to be a beat down. Zhang round 3 KO
