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

[KillaCamNZ]

While it may be right or wrong, we all know he's only said this to try and bait Joshua.

Mind games, y'all.

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

No AJ's skills and gold medal do that part. It shows how deluded you are if you think Wilder is a better boxer than AJ.

AJ is the more polished of the two. That said, he isn’t exactly tough to touch. And I don’t think the skill gap is big enough for AJ to fight a full clean twelve rounds. So there will be opportunities for Wilder to get some good things done in there.

Yeah he's pretty much right.

Wilder has unbelievable heart and drive. In order to beat him opponents must have incredible focus and stick to a game plan of moving right (Deontay's Left). Wilder is linear in that only his right hand can hurt people, but he sets traps and is crafty in the way he gets opponents to stopping moving right.

He knocked out Malik Scott with a left hook.

He knocked down Molina twice with a left hook and Molina was badly hurt both times.

He beat up and knocked out Arreola with his left hand alone (his right hand got broke and his bicept torn during the fight).

Don't get it confused, Wilder's left is just as powerful as his right. He just prefers his right for some reason and only uses his left when his right is not hundred percent (Molina and Arreola fights).

wilder ran and got smacked everywere other night alls he has is power hes a terrible boxer his level has shown now aj is a world apart from him parker would knock him out

AJ is more skillfull but wilder can go 20 rounds. If AJ fails to stop Wilder in the first 6-8 rounds, I can see Wilder knocking AJ out. AJ's stamina will b his downfall if he doesn't do anything about it.

His left is extremely limited no matter how many tomato cans he "hurt" with the left.

His right is the deal tho

Saturday night's fight really only amplified what we already know about Wilder. He's unorthodox, prone to get outboxed by decent fighters, can get hurt when hit flush and carries brutally concussive power deep into fights and is a very good finisher.

None of us know what will happen when AJ and Deontay fight. Both have the ability to beat the other. AJ is massive and the technically better fighter, Wilder has great cardio and carries power late. Both can be hurt, both can recover. Both can finish with one punch. That's what makes it so compelling. I have no clue who will win but I can't wait for it to happen.

That all being said, I have a feeling Parker will make AJ look less than impressive in their fight. That takes nothing away from AJ, but the few times I've seen Parker, he is athletic, awkward and fights off his back foot. I suspect he has a chin too. That's a recipe to make any fight less than impressive for him or his opponent (see Takam, Ruiz Jr, Fury fights). I think it will be the same for AJ in a winning performance for the Brit.

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.

We saw the same fight (somehow). I had Ortiz wayyyyy ahead on the cards.

Know what's scary?

All 3 judges had it 85-84 for Wilder at stoppage.

Lmfaooooo. HOW?!?!?
