Comments Thread For: Parker's Trainer: Deontay Wilder Made Himself The Guy To Beat

[sotgoda]

Did you you catch the left hook to the body last night to bring those hands down just a bit? He's learning more than people want to acknowledge. For example, he hurt ortiz with a counter right hand in the 10th (when he threw him off). The straight right came immediately after the ref cleared them to fight on, but Ortiz was already hurt.

Exactly. But these delusional folks on here only see the right hand. The things Wilder does to get the right hand - they don't see. His left hand also made it difficult for Ortiz to see as he was parrying the Ortiz jab down most of the time.

I’ve seen several people say this. But folks seem to forget that Ortiz wa pretty f.ucked up himself in the fifth, and was saved by the bell. Another thirty seconds, and we never make it to the seventh.

true - kinda - I saw Wilder in the 7th more messed up than Ortiz in the 5th - thing is Wilder has lost that era of invincibility now same as AJ did after Wlad fight. They are vulnerable = exciting - or so it goes in the storylines of the commentators.

It was a great performance from wilder. Ortiz had him rocked but that happens in heavyweight boxing. The important thing was he recovered enough and managed to stop him.

Ortiz gave a pretty good account of himself too hopefully he’s not too long in the tooth to come back again someday.

His performance was actually detrimental to him getting big paychecks from here on in - he will be avoided by all but someone very ambitious to get a shot fast - maybe Povetkin. It's a shame he has only gotten a title shot now - he would have been lethal 4-5 years ago.

Povetkin makes sense. That fight would pull an audience.

I have become a Wilder fan over the years. Mainly because I’ve attended so many of his fights. Birmingham is only a three hour drive from Nashville.

That said, I don’t think Wilder has ever had an aura of invincibility. At least not to hardcore and knowledgeable fight fans. His flaws are too visible to see it otherwise.

Of course Parker's people are gonna say that but we all know the truth. AJ is the cash cow, the one that has proven more in half the amount of fights. Cant wait til this joke gets put in his place then his people will shut up.

Lots of cash and legion of gullible UK fanboys doesnt mean AJ is a better boxer.

he looked more vulnerable than ever last night lol, i genuinely must have watched a different fight cause he lost almost every round, almost get stopped against a guy considerably past his best and who was a considerable betting unerdog. pretty much only won cause the other guy gassed. i was expecting wilders stock to have gone down, not have risen lol, bizarre reaction to it on this forum. the 'casual' fans who watched the fight here said he looked like ****, and they are right.

You hated on Wilder before the fight, during the fight, and after the fight. Why would anyone expect you to give an unbiased analysis? Stay mad friend, he will KO all your favorites.

Getting almost stopped by a 38 yr old guy made Wilder a huge target by top guys in the division now. He'll become like Danny Garcia now, who everyone loves to call out. Now I see why even Dylan White wants him.

Wilder is more than he let on to be. People questioned his chin, he showed it in this fight. He stamina, he showed. His punch power, he for sure showed that. Lanky and skinny, this dude is on the road to being the next legend. People will say different because he is not fighting on black and white camera.

Good we will see more fights and KOs.
Wilder will knock White clean out.
If no Joshua fight that can happen next or Pedvekin in Brooklyn
