Deontay Wilder is Fighting this weekend

[Guest]

I'm sure your opinion is based off of watching old videos from '09. Wilder is MUCH improved since then. Watch his last 2 fights. He doesn't throw those wild looping punches anymore, has improved his jab, and fights much more calculating and patiently. And has game changing one punch KO power.

Face it, the kids going to be completely unstoppable in a couple of years. The Heavyweight division will belong to Wilder by the end of 2014.

I think he should fight an old veteran puncher to see where he is.

Someone like Saul Montana or maybe like an Oliver McCall type.

That way perhaps he'd get some more respect if he won.

If a heavyweight prospect fights and no one sees it- did it really happen?...

I'm being facetious, obviously, but I'm trying to make a point. Why is Deontay Wilder being almost hidden from the boxing public? He supposed to be a hot prospect yet his management/PR team is not even trying to generate any hype around him and are not getting him any tv time. I don't get it...

Yes there is, that's how you build a fan base. Tyson Fury has had most of his fights televised and there's been enormous pressure from the British boxing public for him to be a top hw. Fury's 16-0, is fighting decent competition and seems to be on his way to the top 10 and has a great fan base../

Anyone have video of his fight last night?

He already had at least one televised bout against Kelsey Arnold, even with Teddy Atlas & Joe Tessitore commenting...

Deontay is not as good as Tyson Fury.


They shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence.

It was televised.

They showed the replay of the fight on Boxnation.

Wilder knocked him out cold with one punch.
