    I rarely predict fights but I'm pretty high on Wilder 3-7. His power and punch accuracy is so top shelf everything else ranges from flashes to untested.

      It shows how gullible boxing fans are.
      They are playing the odds. Wilder is not completely unproven. His speed, power, punching accuracy and reach are proven. His chin isn't bad either.

        None of those things are proven because he's never fought anyone with a pulse or anyone of consequence.

        You could argue that his punching power is somewhat proven, but accuracy?? Chin??

        He has a reach, but he doesn't use it effectively thus, it's not a weapon for him.

        I've taken full advantage of the casual boxing public and I expect a big payoff come sat night!

          It's the distance you have to travel to counter his jab. His athleticism compliments his reach and his reach hinders his opponents athleticism.

          Wilder is an accurate puncher. He doesn't just land with power he is uncanny at finding the chin and rattling skulls with location before loading up those wild looking heavy shots. I think you are going to lose some money. Save it for the NBA finals Sabonis. It's Portland's year.

                Cheers for the videos!

                Deontay's fans are quite insufferable though. Hopefully we get some videos of them after the fight. Under their breath "bombsquad!"

                  A lot of fellow heavies seem to be picking Stiverne.

                    I was too up until this week. the more video I see of stiverne the more I see wilder getting there with one of those powerful long right hands. stiverne is too flat footed and has a bad habit of laying against the ropes just looking to counter. I think wilder is going to surprise many people and starch stiverne within 3

                      You can never count out a fighter with Wilders power. One punch can finish the fight.
