    As soon as he gets hit with a big shot he's going to fold. Audley is all talk but he's still a good dude. If Price can KO Audley in a round I think Wilder has a good shot at replicating that. Although his game plan was awful for the Price fight, he did the exact opposite of what he was supposed to and I guess in this fight he'll try to box more cautiously so it could last a little longer like the Haye fight.

      I'm really not convinced with Wilder at all.
      His chin is of huge concern, whats his stamina like? Bad footwork and balance & wide, wide open for counters sadly I'm not convinced Audley can exploit the obvious myself.

      Maybe worth noting he has had troubles with southpaws and was stopped multiple times in the amateurs by southpaws. Has he fought a southpaw in the pro ranks? Not sure he has.

        He has but it's only beacuse of Widler's questionable chin.

          Emphasis on in his 40's, sure he's got a puncher's chance but history has a way of repeating itself.

            Not necessarily.

            Wilder is an unproven Heavyweight. We don't know where he's at.

            Take Price for instance, he took a step-up and crumbled. Audley is overrated, sure; but he can ****.

            I just wish Audley would let his hands go. He's way too tentative. Hopefully the PF win has boosted his confidence.

              As I said before all Wilder really needs to do is come out aggressive and wing some huge punches. Whether they land or not they will force Audley to **** himself and freeze up.

              Anything could happen though, as far as I can tell Wilder is about as skilled as Brandon Rios and Harrison throws the shorter straighter punches.

                He only lasted a few rounds against Haye because David placed a large amount of cash on a R3 stoppage.

                    Lol, no. Audley will get brutally KOed early on.

                      Like the TS said, I would LOVE for him to do something this late in his career but I just cant see it happening.

                      People take the piss out of him but how many of us hear would have given up on our dream long ago if we was in his situation?

                      OK he might never do anything but his Never Give Up attitude says a hell of a lot more about him as a man than most other boxers can claim. Take Ortiz for example when he just gave up mid fight. If he was in Audleys shoes he would have given up years ago and probably be earning a crappy wage doing security or some shit.

                      Win or Lose Audley gets paid good money for doing what he loves.

                      Good luck to him
