Official: PBC on NBC Wilder vs Duhaupas RBR Thread

[joe strong]

What people don't realize about Duhaupas is since April 10 he fought 33 rounds against teper, charr & wilder. In 5.5 months that is a pretty tough schedule... Who else in the division has fought 3 top 20 guys in that short of a stretch...

Sad thing is this was one of PBCs greatest fights

If you enjoyed it then who cares!?

Geeez! This is what I mean by going into a fight with Negative thoughts! Even when its good, its bad

The fight actually entertained me, go figure. Wilder showed some good stuff, has some stuff to work on. I still think he beats Povetkin, but if he gets sloppy enough, he might get cracked with something.

Wilder just went life and death with a guy who could hardly throw 15 punches a round...Very game, and very nice cutting the angles off until D started to chase a puncher. Thats the mistake the Frenchman made and he paid for it...he could have stopped Wilder because up until he slacked off Wilder looked done. He gave Wilder a second wind and came straight into him...I don't see Wilder going very far when he steps up.

Great heart and good stoppage, could have even been a bit earlier for my tastes.

Life and death? He won all but maybe one round lol

Wilder showed a lot of new things. He's improved a lot. He can vary his attack and mix it up a bit. He will need that to beat guys like Povetkin.

Well I learned Wilder can actually throw punches on the inside.

Let us put this in a proper context.

Here is a WBC belt-holder fighting someone who not even ranked in top 20 fo two consecutive bouts.

So some here are praising Wilder for a fight that is on the level of a stepping-up for prospects.

Trinkets don't really mean anything~

It is about improving as a fighter and being the best you can be.

That would be the proper context.

Stomped that white boy!!!!!!!!!

Was going to use another Gif but didn't want to come off as a racist.

He did not fight a top caliber guy but he showed improvement in a lot of areas. If you can't see that, you are hopeless!
