Did anyone see the Deontay Wilder fight?

He was the only American to win a medal (bronze) at the last olympics. He made his pro debut on the undercard of Lacy/Taylor. I saw a youtube clip but it was only the second round. It's seems to me he keeps his hands too low and he is kinda slow, has some decent power though. I want to wish him luck with his pro career.

When its up on youtube you should watch it. Its like a commercial. The cynic in me is skeptical on the convulsive ending. Quite frankly it looked manufactured rather then natural. I think the white poodle was going down the minute a clean punch came near him by his choosing.

He's got power alright but he's also got a lot of Jess Willard in him. You will see a replay of a previous fight when last nights fight is posted for a dramatic illustration of that fact in slow motion. Flailing away like a yearling tree on a river bank. Oddly enough that's why I can understand why he seems to be in this eternal development stage claimed by his team. That kind of power is a game changer but what happens when a guy takes it and answers back especially with counters in the corner when Wilder is trying to pull the nose bleeds in a little closer?

Funny you say that, bro - I rewound about 10 times looking for the monster punch that sent the Wolf into convulsions and couldn't find it. It was a nice shot an all, timing him coming off the ropes, but it wasn't all of that. That said, he appears to have good power. He appears to be in condition. He appears to be able to put combinations together. But how would we know? He's going to eventually have to fight a live dog... and when he does, I'll be waiting and watching. This appears more like a hype tour so far to get him to a money fight without him actually having to earn it.

Agreed. He's got promise to be sure. He's got to straighten out those punches though when he traps a guy even to the bend of a protractor lol. Somebody his going to clock him in between those loopers.
Surprised his gloves don't touch behind his back.
