Comments Thread For: Szpilka Says Wilder Not as Big of a Puncher as Expected

[ИATAS]

He was expecting to get KOd much worse apparently.

Hmmm, the force is not so strong in this one.

I'm not sure what he was expecting?

This is pride talking. And we also have to take into account that Szpilka clearly isn't the brightest bulb in the room.

Dude got flapjacked but says Wilder doesn't hit hard

Wilder may have taken some of Artur's brain cells with that devastating KO.

wilders power is the explosive type. these KOs rely more on landing without opponent seeing/bracing for it.
thudding type like ggg/kovalev/provodnikov just need to land flush/clean and its night.

Not sure why everyone has a problem with this. He took Wilder's punches all night and didn't flinch, he just got caught with a perfect punch that he didn't see.

Although Arthur Szpilka (20-2, 15 KOs) lost by vicious knockout to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Polish couldn't expected Wilder to be a much bigger puncher based on his feared reputation.

Well lately it does seem Wilders fights are going further before the KO comes. Factoring in many of his KOs are vs abysmal opposition coming up, guess it makes sense. Wilder landed some flush shots on Szpilka who had been dropped and KOd before, I was surprised he took them so well.

Not only did GGG land clean thudding shots on Lemieux he's also good at setting up those sneaky bombs his opponents don't see coming. He does it all the time and is very good at it. He landed 280 on Lemieux by the 8th vs 75 for Wilder by the 9th and he still couldn't drop him with head shots. It was the constant body attack that did it. Lemieux still finished on his feet and at this stage in their careers is far easier to hit then Szpilka. This is why I still think Wilder hits harder then GGG at their weight classes. If Wilder had GGG's skills.. WOW!

Damn, brain cells killed more than expected

Couldn't the pole have just survived3 more rounds? Its down to guys like this pole that is making the reputation of wilder. Can't be that hard to go 12 rounds?
