Comments Thread For: Arreola Thinks Wilder Wanted Rounds, ‘Carried’ Molina

Yes. You saw him feinting with his shoulders for the KO at the end of the fourth. So his primary weapon was being neutralized so he brought other pieces in his arsenal. Sign of an intelligent fighter..

yeah also he used his speed to sneak in a left hook which I havent seen him use before, but I will admit I had only watched 3 fights of Wilders prior to the Milina fight so I cant say with supreme confidence he hasnt always had a left.

He hit Malik Scott with a good left hook if I recall

He's gaining more confidence with his left. His jab is very nice and it opens up a lot more other punches for him

I don't know about that. First off after the shaky legs in round 3, I'm sure Wilder was looking to have that match end sooner rather than later. Also, he was fighting at home, where a quicker knockout would've come off as more impressive and exciting to the hometown fans than a 9 round bout against Eric Molina. Seems to me like Wilder just had a little trouble with Molina

With his height his jab should be his bread and butter, if he worked a little more on speed a nice 1-3 combo to the temple would be real nice, Ali style.

It is. He throws an average of 30 jabs a round. The average HW throws about 19. He's definitely a jab fighter.

I think Wilder wanted to show people that he can do more than ****. It was all about look at my improved boxing skills and the funny thing he thought he looked good. It was horrible. Wilder will never be a "boxer". He should continue being relentless.

Who cares how it "looked"? I mean so what he didn't look like Rigo out there. He landed 3X the punches Molina did at a higher %. That's great boxing...

Heavyweights rarely look pretty boxing. Look at Wlad. I consider him to be a skilled boxer but he looks goofy and uncoordinated at times.

Maybe Ali. But that's why he's a legend..
