    Wilder keeps ******* up his hand nearly every fight. He hits so damn hard that even the steel in his hand gets jammed. I honestly think his hand will force him to retire later down the road. I just hope he gets his hands on the beer bellied gypsy fatty and Joshuroid.

    I mentioned this after the arreola fight. He seems to hurt his hand in damn near every fight and now he tore his arm up. Not sure if his technique is what is leading to these injuries or just bad luck/genetics but it will shorten his career or slow it down immensely. Damn shame because he's fun to watch.

      If he wasn't fighting punching bags maybe his hands would be in better condition

        Maybe.

        Naseem Hamed had to retire basically because the bones in his hands couldn't handle the power he generated. Even Emanuel Steward said he was P4P the hardest puncher he worked with by far.

          I would definitely say the tear in the arm he had is absolutely 100% related to the bad technique I mean you can warm up all you want but with such wild shots its puts a lot of strain in your joints I'd assume.

              Yeah it'd be a bummer to watch him go before fighting any real top guys.

                I don't necessarily think retirement but I think it will be a problem whenever he is taken into the later rounds if he isn't careful. Ever since the Stiverne fight I felt he would eventually have issues with his right hand in particular because he throws it so recklessly. Every single right hand is a full on power shot and he doesn't seem to have the body weight (he's a really thin guy for his height) to withstand the impact that he puts on himself over the entire course of a fight without injuring his hand/wrist. As he faces more durable opposition that he can't take out with one shot it will become more apparent unless he becomes more conservative with his right hands.
