Comments Thread For: Kownacki's Manager 'Convinced He Can Beat Deontay Wilder'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Adam Kownacki's manager was so impressed by how his boxer blew out Gerald Washington, Keith Connolly is convinced Kownacki can beat the first fighter that stopped Washington. If all goes according to the plan designed by Connolly and Kownacki, the popular Polish heavyweight contender will get his chance to prove he can knock out Deontay Wilder by the end of this year. Kownacki, 29, figures to fight again during the summer, which would place him and Wilder on a comparable schedule.

Kownacki needs Breazeale, Ortiz, or Whyte! If none of the above want that work, then Adam Kownacki vs. Izu Ugonoh would be a nice gift to the Polish fans of Brooklyn! MAN UP!

He is getting close to earning his shot legitimately but let's be honest, he's fodder for Wilders power, reach and ability. He would get knocked out twitching.

Kownacki is a good story, but I'm not sure he has enough skill to overcome Wilder's reach and speed advantage. If he can fight southpaw and see the right hand easily, he has a great shot. Otherwise he will likely get caught and put down.

This fight would legitimately sell out the Barclays. Would also be a huge TV fight on Fox or SHO. WIlder is definitely vulnerable but I don't know if Kowacki is the guy to beat him, especially after Wilder would've (presumably) been in twice with Fury.

how about beating Ortiz first. Kownacki would have success against Wilder, but one hammer and lights off..We saw that against Fury

[P4Pdunny]

It would be a good fight but I'd expect Wilder to get to him, he gets tagged far too often for me.

Meh too easy to hit doesn’t last 6 rounds

[Zaxspeed]

Good come back fight for Wilder after he loses (again) to Fury.

[Outwest Exp 355]

If he lasted 6 rounds I’d be impressed.
