Wilder answered some questions tonight, he hasn't got a glass jaw and he has a better engine than we thought.
He needs to work on a few things but he fought a good fight so well done to him.

Yes it was a damn good performance.
He can take a punch and box well for 12 rounds, albeit he took a couple of rounds off.
Lets see him KO Tyson Fury next!
It was an impressive performance :D he fought smart, stuck to the game plan ;) the rounds will do him some good and he showed he can take a shot :cool:
He showed some intel also not to get involved when it didn't suit him.
oh no does this mean Mike Tyson stayin retired? :(
I would like to see Wilder fight fury , then the winner fight Wlad.
I think Wilder needs a few more fights before he'd be ready for Wlad. He showed he has the physical ability but I don't think he has the experience yet.Quote:

Yes I agree , I think Wilder has a good chance of knocking out fury , then like u say a few defences , then Wlad. I actually think Wilder will find it easier to hit fury cleanly ,than the small high guarded Stiverne.
he has got a better engine that i thought he wouldQuote:

Did Wilder get hurt during the fight with Stiverne?
Wilder did well. He fought reasonably conservatively (Stiverene also fought horribly).
I think he should stay clear of fury for the next couple of fights. Fury has more experience and better variation and much better stamina.
I was impressed by Wilders composure and staying measured. He got caught a clean left hook that shook him at the end of one round and steadied. Also like seeing him extended 12 rather than just a quick ko, gives you a much bigger picture and assessment. He has some gapping holes and his punches are pretty copy and paste..jab,bent straight right or lead lead left hook. He also lead with a few ill advised wide uppercuts that leave him very vulnerable. He did what he had to do down the stretch and seemed very aware of the clock. For Stiverne I have no idea what he was trying to do..he literally did zero side to side movement and no attempt to cut off ring in spots where Wilder looked a bit fatigued late. Wouldn't call it a boxing masterpiece but Wilder displayed great discipline and self awareness.
Yeah seems he was preparing himself for the long haul when the pace slowed.Quote:
