Wilder starched Breazeale with a short, straight right hand. He momentarily sent Fury’s brain into orbit with short, straight right hand. He scored the first KD in the Stiverne rematch with a perfect one-two straight down the middle splitting the guard. The first KD in the Ortiz fight was a straight lead right hand. He put Szpilka to sleep with a short, perfectly timed straight right hand. And the list goes on and on.
Wilder’s power doesn’t come from swinging for the fences. He can just crack. It is what it is. He’s also not nearly as wild as people make him out to be. He usually loses his technique when he has a guy hurt. And/or when he’s having trouble landing, gets frustrated, and starts pressing. When he fights under control. He actually has a really good jab that he works behind. And he does a nice job of setting up his punches.
