Comments Thread For: Wilder's Coach: Deontay is Learning on The Job and Improving

[Teddy05]

What is ironic is Wilder looked better verse Stevirne. He worked well on the back foot and jab was well placed. What I think two things are forgetting or not understanding is 1). As an Orthodox fighter fighting a Southpaw it can pose problems; including the fact you have very little experience against southpaws or Amatuer experience what so ever and 2.) People are downplaying Szpilka game plan; the man had good head movement, footwork getting in/out , good accuracy/speed to his punchs and he showed a lot of heart/determination. Put those together, Wilder was ill prepared and his opponent was a dangerous one.

Well of course he looked better vs Stiverne. Stiverne was a shell of himself in that fight, barely threw a punch.

Oh come on Szpilka has all the defence of an open door. If wilder is a legit world level fighter he should have taken szpilka to school like jennings did.

Wilder has amazing power but he is so limited in every other aspect. I will give him credit if he beats Povetkin, but honestly, unless he can get a lucky punch off, I cant see it being even close

Yes he's deliberately letting his opponents go to the latter rounfds and then knocking them out to learn.
He will be a force by the time he meets fury. Povetkin I'm not Sir about his claim to fame is lasting distance with wlad
