Thread: Deontay Wilder vs. Fres Oquendo

Just hearing from Deontay Wilders manager that they're lining Fres Oqendo up as his next opponent. what do you guys think of this match? And are we still suprised that his potential opponent is still of quite poor standard?

Yuck

And the bum tour continues choo choo! Another easy KO for wilder..

Yeah this shits gona bite deontay in the ass sooner or later, probably later the way his career is going. fighting complete stiffs and has beens with no improvement in competition, what the hell is the point

Why is Fres a bum? Is it because he's from Puerto Rico? He's actually a giant step up compared to what Wilder has faced. He's also been robbed about three times over the last few years. I think he's a live spoiler in this fight.

you make a fair point... fres is older now and was never that great even in his younger days :S but he is skilled and has been winning fights recently and has been fairly active, wilder could fight a lot worse for sure.. i think this is the right way for wilder to go.. he needs to step it up but one thing at a time.. if he gets through oquendo he needs to keep upping the competition like this....

I'm looking forward to this onew will be interesting to see how he deals with a skilled guy

naw man that has nothing to do with it.. Even when he was young, I viewed him as nothing more than a fringe contender type, a stepping stone for the good prospects and contenders.

Just look at his history.. He couldnt even beat an ancient McCall, Holyfield and Toney.. Lost to a CW in Mormeck and got knocked out by Ruiz.. What more needs to be said?

He may not be shot like Liakhovich but he sure aint a better fighter than Liakhovich..

I would literally be shocked if Oquendo gave WIlder problems..

Literally shocked? Haha

It's not good but it's not awful considering the rest of his weak competition. Fres is ranked 34 in the world. If he takes on a top 20 guy next this fight is passable.

I think its laughable how he can go from his current level of opponents to fighting for the WBC title.

If this is the height to which his people are aiming to prove something I'm convinced there are skeletons in his closet. Fres is a tricky cat...but he's also yet another 40 yr old who last fought a guy previously destroyed by the formidable Audley Harrison *cough* just prior. This is stay busy additional padding considering Wilder is all but guaranteed a title shot from wbc. Wilder strikes me like a guy where people have become so desperate for a step up that we could be missing what is yet just another step sideways. Enough baby steps.

Agreed. I think you should need at least 2 top 20 wins and at least 1 top 10 win before you get a crack at a belt, and preferably more than that.

isn't Oquendo 42 ?

Pointless fight...

When's this guy gonna fight a live one?
