Comments Thread For: Wilder Isn't a Particularly Good Boxer But He's Good Enough

Fortune favors the bold with betting. Scared money & fanboy money don't make money. And while I'm no JimGunn or Jas, I'm profitable & I'm cool with that.

Look man you probably don't bet as much as I do so you ain't got a clue about this sh^t realllllly. This ain't a win or lose game. Its a ROI game. And you give me big odds on one sloppy guy KOing another sloppy guy at HW at similar levels & where one punch can decide the night & imma take it way more often than I pass on it. And it'll be a long term winner. I mean f#ck man do the math. I only need to be right ~9% of the time to be profitable on that type of situation. Its free money long term.

And you sh^tting me? Breazeale did ding Wilder a lil bit & had Wilder backing out & holding for a second there cuz Wilder is too careless & takes too many risks. It wasn't nothing crazy cuz Wilder had just landed his first big punches, but if he makes those kinda mistakes vs the wrong guy its over. And Breazeale had some opportunity to do it last night, but he didn't make the most of it & Wilder took him out before he got a second chance.

It is what it is doe. I'm humble in victory & humble in defeat & don't fanboy on sh^t or hate on mfers over it.

Don't get me wrong...I think Wilder has no talent but admit he can can hit hard. I actually can't stand him and as you saw Fury totally exposed him for lack of skills. But Breazeale is VERY easy to hit and a guy like Wilder who can punch is going to take him out fast every time. Just my thoughts.

I get the logic. I won some nice dough on the Kentucky Derby but lost on the Preakness. Only bet the horse for win/place and he came in third. I always look for "live" dogs but I didn't think Breazeale was one of them. Can't blame you for taking a shot though. If you think the price is right, why not? As long as it's not too much, it makes sense. Wilder does have flaws and with the big guys all it takes is one punch to change things. I had bet on Miller over Joshua but not touching Ruiz,lol!

Exactly. And yea I was with Big Baby too. I thought he had a really good chance to win if he could've gotten the fight into the 2nd half.

In boxing most of my profit has been made on live dogs not favorites. In MMA its even more about live dogs cuz there are more live dogs fights. Plus with mainly 3 round/15min fights there is bigger variance with lesser fighters pulling upsets.

Or thats how I've been profitable anyway. I won't act like I know everything & like there aren't other tactics & more profitable ones. And just cats who are better at finding edges than I.

George Foreman underrated punishing jab. Used it often and to set up other power punches .

I watched Foreman many times. His jab was ok, with power behind it, but not great by any means. Larry Holmes had a great jab, probably one of the best all time.

Foreman was an ordinary boxer with extraordinary raw power.
