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

[The plunger man]

Wilder has no jab? Besides last night, have you ever watched him fight?

Huh lol....stiverne,duphas,spilka,molina,arreola or washington..take your pick. now when i say no jab i mean a weak ass jab and a fighter who actually seems to be regressing instead of progressing ...so yes on his performance last night he was getting outjabbed by a novice and his jab was non existent...don't compete with me newbie your lose....wilder's skillset is appalling

Wilder actually outlanded Washington in this fight.

[low blows]

Tyson struggled with tall fighters that held him on the inside. Wilder could pot shot him from the outside. If Tony Tucker and Bonecrusher Smith could go the distance with Tyson why couldn't Wilder? That said I doubt he could beat prime Mike Tyson.

Post prison Mike Tyson could lose to just about anybody as he was more feared than good, that Mike Tyson could lose to Wilder.

Waking up for work tomorrow morning bout to have me like

something just seemed off with wilder last night like his head just wasnt in the game. could just be the long lay off and comin back from brutal injuries tho. washington was actually impressive lets just hope wilder can secure a big fight. i got a feeling we may end up getting fury wilder

He has taken some good shots in all his fights & still hasn't been down other than the flash KD against Sconiers early in his career. His chin has held up so far. Stiverne can crack & he held up fine. We will se when he gets in the ring with the guys you named...

Stiverne never landed a meaning punch in that fight as far as I remember.

Stiverne was too flat footed and small, couldn't get in position.

My complete point is what will happen to DW when he get in the ring with a puncher who can box him, Stiverne couldn't, Arreola couldn't too.

Washington had a good reach and some boxing skills but didn't have power 60% of KOs being a small ratio for a HW.

Defeating Washington would have no meaning to how Joshua does against Wilder . It was obviously a struggle before the knock out which was prematurely stopped win or lose . I already stated this fight if fought smart could be won by Washington ,it was not a mismatch and Washington isnt any where near Joshua .

No one compared Washington to joshua so not sure what you're getting at there. I simply described what I saw in the fight and laughed at people who are so convinced that wilder gets destroyed by joshua.

If you've seen any of my other comments you would know that I like Anthony Joshua and think it's a 50/50 fight if he were to ever fight wilder. I don't sit here and proclaim beyond a shadow of a doubt that one would kill the other(like some people on here believe).


With that being said, Washington didn't win the fight he got knocked out and the ref was merciful in stopping it before Washington took even more damage. And wilder and Joshua still won't fight for another yr-2yrs.

you brought up Joshua in your first sentance as if his win over Washington proves AJ wouldnt KILL him? And he would! Its clear as day as a matter of fact its going to be by my odds a 30 to 1 favorite in Joshua....so there i just gave you the real odds of Wilder winning when in 2 years it takes place. The only reason i dont go higher is unlike Buster Douglas ,Wilder does possess one punch power even though Douglas is better skilled.





Its a 50/50 fight according to what? Only his die hard fans think that or would give those odds.

I mentioned Joshua because when I went to comment on the Washington fight, I saw a bunch of commenters bring up Joshua's name. So I laughed at the heavy handed, extremely emotional comments from people that clearly lack a nuanced view on boxing. Clearly you are one of those people. Joshua is mentioned any time wilder comes up so I commented on that and then proceeded to give my take on His win over Washington. You choose to read into it however you wanted.

As far as wilder vs Joshua--- It's just my general opinion about how I view that fight based on both their body of work and their boxing attributes that they've displayed so far. It's a 50/50 fight and the odds will reflect that (you know, the odds set by the pros not your raggedy ass 30 to 1 odds).

You're more than welcome to disagree but take your tampon out first...
