Deontay Wilder VS Nicolai Firtha on the Hops undercard..

[Memphis]

@ross at it again. You mean Wilder was momentarily knocked off balance from a jab right? You want to see hurt from a jab look at about a minute into the first round, Firtha stops coming forward after eating one.

Firtha did OK with the 60 seconds of fight he had in him. Areola would be a serious test for Wilder. Not sure how well he copes with a guy that keeps marauding forward. Take away Wilders punching room and he looks pretty useless.

He wasnt just knocked off balance.

Firtha had no intention of winning or he wouldnt have turned upin the shape that he did but Wilder did barely anything more impressive than a 15 fight novice (Fury) did 4 years ago

I agree. Fury did a much better job of stumbling around the ring grabbing hold like a limpet because you've just been chinned.

Anyone see the press conference These people are off there rocker. Turns out Firtha is a Wlad sparring partner, he and Wilder worked together. I didn't know that. He's running on like this was a major defining victory..."showed my sniper punches, came back hard and took some really hard shots from a very tough dude" on and on.

Schaffer couldn't even get Stiverne name right...Chris Stiverne. I'm calling horseshit on this whole manufactured ordeal. What a joke. I want a U.S champ but one that is required to win more than a lone meaningful fight ffs. Stiverne better have a test taster try his lunch in the lead up first.

Hes a glorious new car fresh off the manufacturing line never put on the highway. They have kept him adrift on stiffs and the very first time he "steps up" it will be for a world championship, one that his opponent had to at least win not one but two eliminators...and same with the former trinket owner Vitali. The dude has been sheltered and I don't buy for a minute that he is some avoided beast. He simply brings zero to the table and has done nothing but rack up pre determined numbers. I don't hate the dude, but enough already.

I have just watched the fight and Firtha had fury in way more trouble than he had wilder.
Wilder has big power and a punchers chance against anyone.

That's what I think too. It's still a damned shame that we're talking a fighter who could be a couple of fights from a world title and we haven't seen him go past four rounds.
Almost unbelievable. It reminds me of when Pete Rademacher fought Floyd Patterson, for the title in his first pro fight. If you didn't follow amateur boxing at that time, you probably didn't even know who Rademacher was.
