Maybe the best thing that could happen to Wilder's career right about now is a loss.
Seriously.
While he's knocking people out with poor fundamentals, he's not gonna feel the need to change anything. Eventually that's gonna catch up with him. If he's really dedicated to the sport, and I've seen no reason to think otherwise, then he'll be willing to learn and make the adjustments necessary to continue getting better. Hell... he himself said repeatedly he's a work in progress during the post-fight interview on Saturday. Those adjustments could even mean a change in trainer, if necessary. He certainly won't the first to do it.
IMO he still has enough tools to beat Tyson Fury. But beating Wlad is a whole 'nother story. The way he fought Stiverne had me hoping.... but the way he fought Molina brought me back to Earth.
