Comments Thread For: Wilder: It Was a Couple-Second Buzz, I Was Never Hurt

[b Murphington]

The thing with Wilder is that he has tremendous power. His raw power can overcome whatever short comings he has in boxing technique. That power makes him very live in any fight he's in. And that includes Povetkin and Klitschko.

New breed of nut hugger..

Wilder is still an amateur. He gets iced by the far superior Russian Povetkin. Watch the new beyotch on the block Haymon steer clear of every HW in the top 5.

Wilder is the first heavyweight in a long time that I've seen with actual athletic-boxing ability...he's definitely a threat to Wlad...

That's the fight that should be made at the Garden or the Barclays'...

Having something and using it are two different things. Wilder can't put it together and by the time he does he will be KOd.

So, it was a couple seconds buzz, then he came back into the fight. And somehow though, he wasn't hurt. I'm wondering, if it was a 2 second buzz, does he not realize, if that were Wlad or Povetkin, a second punch would have been right behind it? Then what? This guy not only has to take a refresher course in basic boxing, he has to learn how to keep the boxing brain actually working... for the training to do any good. It wouldn't matter if it was Breland or whoever... if the guy basically panics and forgets everything once he's out there on the big stage... what good could any trainer be?

He needs to leave the ego orbit behind and learn how to automatically remember what he's taught. Otherwise it's lights out and career shot after the first intense challenge.

Exactly. You have it nailed.

No because he has concussive power and an olympic gold medal in boxing (so he can definitely box). He pretty much does everything better than Wilder. Even Takam would habe beat Wilder, Im sorry to break it to you but Wilder is not as good as you think.

Povetkin runs ALL OVER Wilder. Let's be real folks. Wilder has fought ONE top ten HW. ONE. And a fat out of shape cruiser about KOd him. Seriously. The trouble he was in SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED if he were the real deal. Holyfield would have cleared Molina out in 1 round. Actually, Holy wouldn't have even fought the C class fighter.

he beat stiverne. thats a top 10 fighter

He did say one and I believe Stiverne x 1 = 1.

Why doesn't Wilder have to fight his mandatory next? And does anyone truly believe that if he fights one or even two more stiffs like Molina that it will really do anything to prepare him for Povetkin? In case Wilder and his fans haven't noticed Povetkin has been beating legit top ten fighters. And if Wlad couldn't stop him how much of a punchers chance is Wilder realistically even going to have?

No. Perez is down to 25. Charr isn't much higher.

Why do you think Povetkin is some type of monster? He has short arms, so-so power, slow feet. What makes anyone think he's going to get inside Wilder to do anything to him.
