Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Starts Slow, Stops Gerald Washington in Five

[boxinggod101]

Deontay Wilder looks at Ringside where Joseph Parker is and says ' I want it now! ' He came to Alabama its time to step in the ring and stop being a spectator! BOMBSQUAD!!!

Those punches at the end..... Lol.. Even though it is discusting, Wilder has some serious power

Is anybody paying attention when they watch these fights? Wilder landed two rights hand that shook Washington in the 4th round during that one sequence. Then Virgil Hunter says Wilder didn't land a right hand yet in between round 4 and 5. That's just evidence of pre-conceived notions. When rounds are admittedly close you gotta pay ****ing attention or don't score. Talking more about fan scoring, I do respect Virgil Hunter but wtf was he watching.

There's footage from the crowd that shows Gerald walking away towards his corner but then he veers off and falls into the ropes like a drunkard, ref having to catch him. He was out on his feet. Maybe you want to see him go to sleep but he wasn't defending himself and was done. Ref needed to not hesitate but it was a good stoppage.

I know right. Could Deontay swing any Wilder?

Wilder can punch, but his "balance" always reminds me of Jack Sparrow..

The moment Wilder FINALLY DECIDED TO THROW MORE THAN ONE JAB he got the KO. Man he was pissing me off throwing one punch at a time.

I don't know what the hell he was doing in this fight. As soon as he put some punches together he ended it.

[Straightener]

don't know why but that just wrecked me

Champ! Champ !

Hopefully Wilder will face better competition after this. I wanna see him get in the ring with either Tyson Fury or David Haye or Parker next.

Yes, Wilder stopped another BUM, nothing special. He stopped ex football player, lol. Wilder has bad foot work, no difence, Joshua would kill him.

Wilder looked terrible in that fight... a strong punch, that's all he has, he lost every round...dunno what the judges were seeing, 2 of them had it a draw and one had wilder winning!!. AJ eats him alive.....

I thought the fight was stopped early myself but Washington didn't do anything to help himself out either. I agree with you about Joshua too....if the Wilder from last night fought Joshua, I can't see anyway for Wilder to win.

Alright, now that Wilder has another tuneup out of the way..please...PLEASE..make a proper effort to get a top tier guy in the ring.

No more hallow callouts with zero intention of following through - mean it this time.

We need to find out if his one shot power is enough to make up for poor boxing ability - against a proper fighter.

If Ortiz, Joshua, Fury, or Klitschko isn't an opponent within this year, Wilder will be losing my support. I knew he would need a tuneup to test himself after the injuries so I'm not too upset about this opponent. Having a good American HW champ is also a good thing but if he doesn't fight a top guy this year, it's inexcusable.
