    Will this serve Wilder as a learning experience and improve him?

    Will he pick up new tricks and wrinkles to add to his arsenal?

    After 40 fights he's not going to suddenly learn how to box well now.

      He's not a prospect any more. He's just not that good at boxing

          Maybe yeah, but I don't think there are things which will allow him to compete with Fury on a boxing level, he can't learn that much.

          But he can do some things better in general.

          Wilder looked like a beaten man by round 7-8. Then he had round 9, but after that he looked even more beaten in 10 and 11. He really got off the hook here

            One area that he could get better in is body punching.

            I was expecting him to go downstairs a lot more, that certainly would have helped counter Fury's good head movement.

              He's 33 and had 40 fights, what's he going to learn now?

                Wilder was further exposed.

                  Heavyweights tend to hit their peak at a higher age.

                  And being in against good foes should theoretically make you better. If you are an intelligent fighter and have an intelligent team around you.

                    No, he's too much of a dummy to learn from this. He didn't learn from the Ortiz fight or any of his previous 39 fights where he was getting outboxed and was bailed out by his power and he won't learn from this one
