Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder's Win Impressive, Joshua Fight Must Happen Next

[Tutsa]

The finishing right set up by the jab was point perfect straight. Wilder looks great with added weight , speed still there they should add another 5 to ten pounds next camp . This man will not lose a fight with this be look and focus!

AJ will look ****** next week if he does anything less than this fight

Joshua might take a down from one of them windmill overhand rights, but he'll box Wilder's ears off badly

The show reel finished masked some awful awful boxing. He even injured his own arm throwing a ****** wild left to the body, off balance, with no technique. The overhead camera shot was a great glimpse of a fundamental flaw, ‘tightroping’ in range, leaning deep over his front foot. You would coach kids to stop that habit in their first years.

But, I think as you say, AJ can box and if he can stay sharp for those bombs in rounds 1-3 Wilder gonna get KO’d early.

If Wilder connects he can put anyone's lights out, no doubt. He leaves himself so open tho, and Joshua is fast down the middle and can ****. The analogy has been used so much and never comes true, but I could actually see Wilder vs AJ being a Hagler-Hearns style shootout for 3/4 rounds. What a night for HW boxing that would be...

AJ will not look as good next week because of the optics (Ruiz is short whereas Brezeale is Wilder's height) so to the casual fan, he will look like a bully. Also, AJ is more conservative and doesn't 'seek and destroy' the way Wilder does.

Ortiz entering the ring is SOP for Wilder/Ortiz being next. Meantime Joshua needs to find another opponent, ditto Fury, the wait goes on.

The way they're respecting each other, it sounds like they're working toward a fight, possibly building something late this year/early next year.

I thought the same thing during the press conference when someone pointed out that wilder beat Breazele quicker than AI did, Wilder said “styles make fights, and Breazeles style was made for me.”

He could have ripped AJ there...

[MDPopescu]

... My guess is that AJ isn't fighting Wilder in 2019... and, maybe, not even in 2020...

(... AJ just doesn't have to fight Wilder at the amount of money and split he's asking for... but whatever...)

Nah he attacked DW with a combo that stunned in that exchange in the corner . Spinks didn’t land s punch . Wilder looks great with add weight , speedy is still there and punching from a to b perfect straight punch’s !!

Yep at least Breazeale landed two hard right, and great point regarding Wilder’s speed, even with the extra weight that he put on he has retain his speed.

Hearn is right, Wilder sent a message last night. He has people buzzing with that knockout shot.

Will Joshua send one back against Andy Ruiz?
