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 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.
