Sorry Wilder fans, your guy won't beat Wlad, Povetlin, and probably not Fury either. Weak excuse for boxing skills, big right, and what else? Not much. His chin turns out to be better than we thought, but really that won't carry you thru a Wlad or Povetkin fight. If anything, this fight was a few steps back for him.
So why did this happen? I've watched him up close at a couple boxing cards. The guy is an attention ho out the wazoo. I mean it's line on redline. So he has a needy personality and spends too much energy wanting to impress everyone of his prowess. That's fine if you're a rock star, but this is boxing. Maybe if they had a sports psychologist around during training camp he'd be better prepared for the fight. As it is, whatever boxing they're teaching him, he is remembering and utilizing very little of it in the ring. Good on him for getting a good payday tonite, and maybe 2 more. He'll need it for the future.
