Comments Thread For: Gassiev: Wilder Hits Harder, Works Harder Than Klitschko

[RussB23]

Wilder is growing on me, I didn't like him at first cuz I thought boxing wasn't for him but I've learned to shut my trap about that as he's going all the way with this brutal sport!!

He's improving in every fight and if he only learns how to throw a quality jab then he would be nearly unstoppable!

Hope he recovers 100% and comes back, he's needed in the division.

His jab is actually one of his strong suits when he commits to throwing it.

It doesn't surprise me that a 28-29 year old, prime Wilder seems like he hits harder and works harder than a 40 year old Wladimir.

That's how it's supposed to be. It's called passing of the torch.

That said, they sparred before and Wilder got the worst of it.

If they fought now I would say that Wilder would most likely KO Wlad, but at his best, Wladimir would have slept Wilder fairly easy.

Good insight from a mutual sparring partner. Deontay looks clumsy sometimes but Gassiev says Deontay's a nuanced fighter.

Yea, his angles are amazing in the ring because he's fought tins of chopped tomatoes thus far. Mr Gassiev forgot to take that uncomfortable truth into account.

Umm he was talking about sparring him doofus..

Cruiserweight Murat Gassiev (23-0, 17KOs) is one of the best rising talents in the sport. On Saturday, December 3rd in Moscow, he will challenge countryman Denis Lebedev (29-2, 22KOs) for his WBA and IBF world cruiserweight titles.

Both true statements.

He still gets sonned by Fury though.

Wilders power comes from his speed. For a heavyweight he is freakish fast

Wilder is somebody I hate on for his arguably farcical coming up but secretly hope he turns out to be legit. He's got an entertaining style and isnt afraid to bring it. What's not to like. I'd def root for Wilder over AJ if that US vs UK showdown ever happens.

..along with combo punching and stamina.

discreet right jab?

He's talking about his fight game in general. Wilder's the heavyweight Golovkin - fought nobody of real note. Fought his first C level fighter in Stiverne and couldn't stop him. Says it all. Deontay's stilts won't be holding him up when he gets his chin properly tapped.
