I have to go with Scott on this one. Szpilka really has the most appalling punch resistance, and doesn't have the skill or inclination to keep his chin from getting clipped by even mediocre opponents. Yes, heavyweight boxing can be unpredictable, but there are still certain patterns that can guide you as to the likely outcome of a fight. Fury' KD by Cunningham, for example, was clearly an aberration caused by a momentary lack of concentration, and not something that was likely to be repeated. Szpilka's KDs and KOs are due to the fact that he can't get out of the way of the punches and fights in a reckless and defensively unsound manner. There's a huge difference there. Szpilka is getting stopped, and likely stopped early.

Regarding the random drug testing which was supposed to be in place for this fight. Szpilka hasn't been tested yet and Wilder thinks it might not start till after the fight.
Err ... what?
“I still wait,” Szpilka simply stated during a recent media conference call in fielding a question on the subject. “I don’t know why it hasn’t begun.”
“Whether it’s pre-fight or post-fight, there will be random drug testing done,” Wilder (35-0, 34KOs) insisted.
No random testing for this one then.

Wilder's team's approach to drug testing is extremely fishy and raises major question marks in my mind. I already had su****ions before, but this more or less confirms it. Just too much shadiness surrounding this guy.Comment
