Comments Thread For: Joshua Feels He Can Outbox Wilder, Break His Confidence

[Tobi.G]

With two huge guys with a damn near 100% KO record, anything can happen. There is the science side to everything but then one punch ends all strategy. All the back and forth debating with one fanbase shocked and the other one saying "I told you so". It will not go the distance, that is certain.

Well i th9ink you are right....i like Joshua but Wilder got the power to end it too.

Tell your master Edward "Fast Eddie" Hearn stop being a Scrooge and pay the champ like a champ and lets see if your theory is right!

Y'all are giving Parker, the weakest champ in the division who has looked garbage in his last several fights with the last one being shown on YouTube over 30%!

Wilder has single handily promoted the Joshua vs Wilder fight, is on a big momentum boost, next fight will be against one of the most dangerous opponents in the division, has fought at the MGM, and has routinely entertained one of the most notoriously hard to please crowds in the country at Barclays!

Every one has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Wilders movement is one of his key assets and that will come to play when he meets AJ.
The only boxer that can beat Wilder is the one that is capable of absorbing his punches (a boxer with a good chin) and equally possess a heavy punch.
I honestly do not see that in AJ. Joshua can punch but has a questionable chin.
AJ comes forward straight without moving his head and he is likely to meet one of those bazooka from Wilder and it will be good night for Joshua.

Beyonce Wilder, is that you son? Stop taking the piss!

So Joshua being confident is a reason Wilder would win and Wilder being confident is also a reason Wilder would win. Logical.

I never said that. Wilder is the better fighter by a large margin. Joshua is more fundamental but this is not welterweight. It is the heavyweights. I listed the things that Wilder does better than AJ. All I added is that AJ will circle left until he gets caught. Then, AJ cannot fight going backwards. His best defense is his offense but he also gets frustrated when he cannot take someone out. He struggled cutting the ring against Takam. Wilder moves really well when he has a good opponent in front of him. I believe AJ has to convince himself that he is better even though deep within his heart, he knows he is not.

bet????????????????????????

Yes i am willing to wager. What amount do you have in mind? Don't run when AJ loses though. Not a fan of cheap talk.

Joshua should be able to withstand the early attack from Wilder (assuming there is one, and Wilder hasn't went all shellshocked spazzo and forgets how to fight until round 4 starts). From there, Joshua will indeed likely start chipping away at Wilder's confidence. It will be a tough fight for both fighters, their toughest to that point... but IMO Joshua is sturdy enough to handle it. The big question will be... can Wilder handle the incoming from Joshua. I doubt it.

AJ cannot withstand an early Wilder barrage. If you think that, then you are writing an early knockout check for AJ. AJ needs to walk forward and try to crowd Wilder but he risks getting hit with either hand from Wilder. Wilder is able to fight on front and back foot - AJ cannot.

Exactly. AJ is definitely more technical but is tailor made for Wilder. He also does not move his head left and right well but moves it up and down well. Wilder throws both hands from weird and awkward angles, and will catch AJ. Honestly, I can easily Wilder knock him out under 3. Wilder also moves really when in and out of his shots.

Regardless (either way) whether this fight goes 1 round or 8, it'll be fun while it lasts.

Then tell your fraud promoter to make the fight and we’ll see, Wilder will knock you out juice head
