Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Knocks Artur Szpilka Out Cold in Nine

[BigAlexSand]

Already promoting Fury/Wilder... I can't wait!

Now on topic, outside of the KO. Wilder took a step back wise of his impression on people. His KO power is something to admire but still needs more fights and a better trainer. Atlas, Jackson or Mayweather Sr.

[jaded]

Szpilka had 0 amateur fights and 21 pro fights...not much to go on. Once Wilder steps up it will be over for him. Any of the the current top heavies will beat him. Szpilka actually impressed me more than Wilder...given how little little boxing experience he has.

Well wilder made a new fan here, good fight, he needs to improve his footwork, but what a KO

[vitali1999]

Was there ever any doubt ? Jennings knocked this guy out for christ sake. Enter another bum squad in April or May though. Wilder stays unbeaten.

Bro he said out his mouth he have a mando duty first before him and fury can fight and Martin not going go into a unification fight next going get atleast 1-2 fights in before then

he also said "i'll go to your backyard and fight you" to Fury. hahah c'mon man dont be such a fanboy

That was a f$cken bad ass KO! #BOMBZQUAD

[Shrap]

6-2, 6-2, 5-3 Wilder.

It was 50/50 up to that point IMO.

Those judges are a joke.

6-2, 6-2, 5-3 Wilder.

It was 50/50 up to that point IMO.

Right on, thanks. Yeah it was close. 4-4 would be fair. Maybe 5-3 in either fighters favor. Some rounds were a matter of a punch or two.

Does anybody know the scores going into the KO round? I'm pretty sure I had Spzilka winning up until that point.

Like 88-84 all for Wilder. :lol:

As for my opinion on Wilder and the fight.
Well...

Wait people actually think wilder looked bad? He looked quite good against a world class caliber guy and he iced him. Wilder is clearly one of the top 5 heavys in the world. Is he the best? No. But he's quality. Time for people to accept that.

Exactly. This was the best quality opponent has ever faced. He was no tomato can. You're not going to look great against a high quality opponent. Wilder still won though with a KO. Its the typical thing going on in the boxing world. Deontay Wilder has brought back excitement to the heavyweight division with his athleticism and brutal KO's, but he's hated on all the time. Makes no sense. I'll tune into a Wilder fight before Klitscko any day.
