Joshua better boxer obviously and also really powerful. Id bet on him, but wilder just fights in a such an awkward way, he fundamentally is pretty bad as a fighter. But his punches can catch you and if he catches you he can hurt you and put you away. He basically just goes into fights being confident he will at some point land and put his opponent away.
I have **** on wilder immensly and thought he looked bad in his last few fights. But stiverne is his best opponent, and thats when he looked his best. Maybe he really does actually fight to the level of the opposition who knows. Hes not really a good boxer at all, hes just a great athlete who has alot of power and is successful solely because of that.

I think if Wilder throws the first bomb and is effective he will go for the kill and start windmilling which will put him in the position of getting countered. Joshua is not going to just sit there and let him t off on him. If Joshua lands the first bomb, I don't know how Wilder will react. That's how huge a disparity is between Wilder and Joshua's resume. I know what i'm going to get from Joshua at this point but I don't know about Wilder. I sure as hell wish that Wilder would've fought Ortiz and Povetkin. The outcomes of those two fights would've really told the whole story about what Wilder is really made of.

Originally posted by Mooshashi View PostWilder has a good, stiff jab. Yes he is known for his wild windmill punches but the first knockdown last night was a straight right hand right on the button, thrown following a jab.
Joshua has very slow feet...yes beating Wlad was historical especially after surviving a brutal knockdown...but Wlad was the polar opposite of Wilder who moves around a lot better. And Joshua has no stamina.
I can see a great fight here..Lyle-Foreman all over again.

Kudos to the thread starter, very good post! A simpleton like me would think whoever connects first and connects well will probably get the win. I think both guys have questionable chins and can be hurt. Should be a very interesting fight, and one that isn't particularly easy to predict.

He has more punche's in his bag(upper,hook)that Wilder don't have he throws hook but its wider then Joshua's.But that real good jab hiding great st8 right is fuken deadly.
