THROWBACK: Lennox Lewis' showing Deontay Wilder how to jab: what a damn difference

[Boxing_1013]

All I know is, I watched him against Szpilka, who was made to look like a prime Ali in there. It told me all I needed to know - Wilder's not going to win technique awards.

I never saw that whole fight...I think he has been steadily improving, more or less...I thought Ortiz would outbox him all night in the first fight...and he did...but Wilder did/does just enough to not get stopped/hurt when he is outboxed, and then he is able to land a big shot or two in every fight that scores him a KD/KO.

Not sure if he happened upon his current gameplan by default or if it was planned but it's not a bad gameplan imo....uses his strengths...and yes he is no great technical boxer, that is for sure.

Great to see the two champs together.

...what? You MUST! You simply MUST!

Nobody - not even Tyson Fury - looked THAT good against Wilder before "the Bomb" landed.

Very cool vid...Wilder seemed to be a quick study, to be fair to him...that vid does get me wishing we could have seen Wilder vs Tyson...to see if Tyson could slip that jab and do some work on the inside...would have been a great watch.

I dunno, didn't really seem like he was getting it and bringing it back too far still. Though to be fair not like you're gonna learn any new muscle memory after a couple mins in a parking lot in dress clothes. Cool to see him being humble and trying to sponge up info from another champ though.

Yeah maybe I am giving him credit for trying more so than achieving...cool vid though...also I always struggled to immediately apply any tips from my coaches in sports lol so maybe I am projecting some on to Wilder there...any success is good in my book lol.
