Comments Thread For: Photos: Deontay Wilder in Beast Mode, Training Hard

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Birmingham, Ala. - Undefeated Heavyweight World Champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs), of Tuscaloosa, Ala. is training hard for his first defense of his title when he faces Eric "Drummer Boy" Molina (23-2, 17 KOs), of Raymondville, Texas, in the main event of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on Saturday, June 13, live on SHOWTIME® (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) at Bartow Arena in Birmingham, Ala.

The 6-foot-7 Wilder captured the heavyweight world championship with an impressive 12-round unanimous decision over defending titleholder Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17 on SHOWTIME. It was the first time the hard-hitting Wilder, 29, had fought more than four full rounds and the only time in his seven-year career that one of his fights went to the judges. By winning, he became the first undefeated American to win a heavyweight title since Michael Moorer in 1994.

Carrying left low in a lot of shots not good looks like he is ripped. The other day they said Perez was in beast mode barely hitting the pads povetkin iced him in 1 should say it only when guy is in beast mode great shape

Looking good champ, molina gonna get iced. Deontay gonna make a statement in this fight.

Eric who??? Molina huh???? What a farce deontay is. He is scared to death of povetkin and especially wlad.

Why did Wilder choose (or Haymon choose) the weakest possible opponent?

Eric Molina (BoxRec #55) has done nothing to earn a shot at the WBC title.

This fight is truly PATHETIC, reminds me of Garcia-Salka.

You mean like how u said lamont and danny should fight. Then when it was signed said it was a bad fight. You'll do the same with povetkin

How are this dude's arms not breaking in half from one of those shots?

[Lou Cipher]

If he keeps training really hard then next time he might be able to actually KO 147lb 0-1 Charlie Zelenoff and not have to try unsuccessfully to hit him while he's down

On a serious note he should have fought Shannon Briggs. He's at about the same level as this TBA nowadays and it would have gotten lots of attention in the US.

This fight is just a waste of time. Even HW division nerds have no idea who this opponent is.

If Wilder misses the pad and hits Mark Breland's wrist, it's gonna snap.

But that won't happen because Wilder has good accuracy.
