Comments Thread For: Wilder Heavier For Breazeale Bout Than He Was For Fury Fight

[Bobby Deez]

He needs to put the extra poundage on those foghorn leghorn stilts of his.

You do know he fought one of the best power counter punchers in boxing with Ortiz right? Breazeale has to take ten punches to land one, slow feet/hands so can’t avoid those rights just bad matchup for him..... fury did crap that fight besides dance around ring landing 24% of his total punches while also getting dropped twice at least when Floyd danced around ring he landed 45% of total punches while also connecting over 50% of power shots

STFU. A rusty Fury at about half his best took Wilder to school. Wilder only has power. He has no skill. He lost that fight 9 rounds to 3.

I don’t think weight has anything to do with punch resistance. Wilder is a small heavyweight. It’s is what it is. He’s gonna be outweighed by 30lbs+. I don’t think there’s a major difference between being outweighed by thirty or forty in terms of ability to handle a punch. It’s a huge size disadvantage that is unique to Wilder in terms of today’s fighters. We massage guys ballz for fighting guys ten pounds heavier nowadays.

I'll stop at the first sentence you posted. Of course it does. Wilder is not a small frame , big shoulder and so forth. He's 6'7 at 210 is small and not a good idea for a fighter like that balance. You haven't that concept.

You big mad... can’t win a fight doing nothing offensively against the champion while getting knocked down twice not to mentioning running away from rematch at the 11th hour when it was a done deal to take more tuneups

Bad move. Lighter is better.

Says who and why? Enquiring minds want to know.

What fight were you watching? Loma vs Pedraza?

So he can focus on speed. His power was clearly still there at 215 pounds so why bother to bulk up?

[Mr.365]

He's heavier because fighting Breazeale is easy unlike Fury

[Oshio]

Deontay Wilder has done a lot of things to that will make him lose this bout... He has always done those things but kept winning. This one, may just be different. Kudos to him if he beats Breazeale

He needs to pack a few extra pounds. So long as it is healthy, it has be better than taking those shots from other HW fighters while he looks to land his. We know Wilder has a good chin. A little extra girth can only help Wilder since he is an "all or nothing" kind of offensive fighter.
