Artur Szpilka vs. Deontay Wilder

[BostonGuy]

Szpilka can fight. He was winning big until the end. Good luck to him.

No he wasn't. All the judges and Showtime's Steve Farhood had Wilder winning by at least two rounds.

I guess wilder's feet & jab doesn't help him much

lol did you watch the fight
lol @ wilders feet and jab

No he wasn't. All the judges and Showtime's Steve Farhood had Wilder winning by at least two rounds.

Which surprised me tbh. I thought the fight was fairly close until the stoppage. I had Szpilka ahead at that point in the fight until I rewatched the fight, but even then I thought it was pretty even. I think at minimum Szpilka won 3 rounds, with as many as two other rounds being debatably his as well.

Wilder's got way more than just a right hand. He has an excellent snappy jab that he can throw moving backwards and side to side, a brutal left hook, an equally brutal left hook to the body, and very good uppercuts on the inside. Szpilka is actually the fighter who you could claim only has one weapon, in his case the straight left, though I hope he shows us an improved arsenal in the fight.

After watching this fight i still stand by my original statement. ALL WILDER HAS IS A RIGHT HAND. Key for beating wilder is to tie up his right but i think any real top 10 contender would know this.

Where you there? Lucky if you were!

Nah I wish. I was just talking about on tv

[RED REP]

Wilder is **** hahahaha

[Fetta]

Couple fights within the crowd and a minor scuffle on the ring floor...the Polish fans chanting in between the first and second round...Seeing Tyson and Lewis in the ring...

It was great being there

Sounds like it!

I could feel the crowd energy from my couch! Awesome!

Froch, fury,tyson, lewis, povetkin, and fonfora hugging up szp girl. Awesome

Wilder should train wrestling. That will help with his **** balance.

That's true.

[billeau2]

they just said all 3 judges had it for Wilder so there you have it. No point in Szpilka continuing it's good for him he got KO

I know the kid did a decent job but he was not beating Wilder in those rounds. He kept it a game fight but just as everyone knew he was not a real threat to Wilder. Not enough power, speed or smarts...He did showcase Deontay's great punching ability. If you look at some of the slo mo, Wilder has excellent form jab to straight right...forget the bombs. But this guy was never going to be able to threaten Wilder and that was the idea from the beginning right?
