Official: PBC on NBC Wilder vs Duhaupas RBR Thread

[-PBP-]

I'm not wining, and my expectation is that the negotiations will go through. I was responding to a specific quote, Mr. Illiterate. Gambler said previously that the Povetkin fight should be a year off, others in the thread are calling for a couple more 'midlevel guys'. Knowing Haymon, it is not entirely an impossibility it could go that way

Povetkin fights in November. He will need 6 months anyways. What's wrong with Wilder squeezing another fight in between?

It was an impressive performance. I don't see how you can be hyper critical of it.

The reason why people are being critical is because they thought Duhaupas was a bum. They didn't know that he was 31-2 and has never been knocked out.
Seems like they expected Wilder to KO him withing like 3 rounds which was just foolish if you knew his history.

As far as Wilders performance being impressive or not, i can honestly say that it was BOTH, if that makes sense. LOL.
I liked some of the adjustments he made in the fight but man, his defense to me looked awful.

Beating someone with little skill is not impressive when he almost goes the distance. Especially when Wilder's face looked so bad at the end of the fight. This guy should not have been able to last more than 4 or 5 rounds and should have never been any threat at all.

Why should he not of been able to last? look at the punches he took! I have followed Duhaupas the last few years. He was moved slowly coming up & fought all over Europe. He has fights with Pianeta, Teper, Charr & Wilder now on his resume. Solid pro in the Francois Botha mold. A tough guy with a marginal skillset but it doesn't mean he's a dud. His recent win over Charr moved in the top 15 in WBC & his close fight with Teper didn't go unnoticed by promoters around the world.

That was fun but I'm still not sure what to make of Deontay. He looks more natural and co-ordinated each fight (and this was a big problem of his just a few fights ago) but he looked quite bad in spots too, including looking seriously gassed in the last couple of rounds.

In case anyone cares, their will be more boxing for this event on NBCSN starting at about 8:15-8:30.

Too bad the Frenchman can't punch for **** !! Has one hell of a chin though. Wilder showed a good inside game with those uppercuts but, all that dancing makes me wish he'd get humbled soon.

[Sweet Pea 50]

I was entertained.

I like Wilder.

No there's no need except to increase hype. If he's not better then duha then def not. And who the hell is Danny oconnor

Not to increase hype, just get more rounds and experience under his belt. Sort of like Wilder did with Jason Gavern before the Stiverne fight.

O'Connor is a white guy from the Northeast. Average fighter.

In case anyone cares, their will be more boxing for this event on NBCSN starting at about 8:15-8:30.

Yep, hopefully they show the full Charles Martin fight.

[HanzGruber]

More boxing on nbcsn in a little. Never seen this Martin guy
