Thread: Spzilka does not deserve this title fight vs. Wilder.

At least the OBF made Glazkov/Martin make sense. Glazkov ranked #1 and Martin ranked #3, Wladimir ranked #2. So, it made sense.

But, Spzilka is ranked #8. He was beaten soundly by Bryant Jennings. Sure, he beat Adamek after that. But Adamek just then came back from his retirement.

I mean, WTH?? Here is the list of WBC ranked contenders! Tell me Wilder couldn't find a better guy on this list. I would have even taken Arreola....

1. Alexander Povetkin
2. Anthony Joshua
3. Vyacheslav Glazkov
4. Bermane Stiverne
5. Kubrat Pulev
6. Carlos Takam
7. Lucas Browne
8. Artur Szpilka
9. Erkan Teper
10. Joseph Parker
11. Andy Ruiz
12. Chris Arreola
13. Tomasz Adamek
14. Kyotaro Fujimoto
15. Dillian Whyte

well he most likely could have but that really isn't how boxing works. Szpilka has a a big polish american following so he brings a lot of interest from america and poland and to be honest I think he could beat the majority of the people in the top 15 he is fairly talented.

Blame Wilder for the opponent not the opponent.

So considering how he performed did Spzilka deserve the fight?

Neither of them deserved to be in a title fight. They both suck.

That's the same thing I was thinking about the Tyson/Wlad fight.

No. But you could have told that Wilder was carrying him for a few rounds...

I have to say, it looked like it made sense for 8 rounds. I don't know what the official cards looked like through those 8 rounds, but it looked like Spzilka belonged in there to me.

lol I know what you are saying, and I agree.
