Deontay Wilder vs. Fres Oquendo

[Beanflicker]

And the bum tour continues choo choo! Another easy KO for wilder..

Why is Fres a bum? Is it because he's from Puerto Rico? He's actually a giant step up compared to what Wilder has faced. He's also been robbed about three times over the last few years. I think he's a live spoiler in this fight.

He's not a bum, but he was never great even in his "day" and he's been irrelevant in the HW division for quite some time.

Deontay is 30-0, he should be fighting a top 10 guy at this point.

Wilder has been on a bum of the month campaign since he started his career. This is actually a step up for him. It's extremely sad that it has taken so long, but finally a half decent fighter on a semi-decent run of form.

Wilder hasn't shown that he is top 10 material at all yet, and again, a further sad reflection on the padding of his rather woeful looking career record.

If I was Wilders promoter this is the kind of fight id take for Wilder. Id be keeping him away from a world title until at least the end of the year.

Fres Oquendo is a good fighter. He would beat everyone that Wilder has already faced. Hes good enough to at least trouble Wilder and make him learn. So fa in his career he hasnt learnt how to fight through being hurt and he will get hurt. He hasnt had to deal with anyone really throwing much back. Look how badly Price was moved. His level of opponent went static and plataued with Sexton, Harrison and Skelton then all of a sudden a huge jump to Thompson!

I can even see Oquendo beating Wilder. This is the first opponent he will have had that should be able to get past Wilders punches and give him something back. It will be interesting to see how Wilder reacts to pressure.

This is the perfect opponent for Wilder at this point and as long as he does actually win he will need another 1 or 2 opponents on this level before he thinks of challenging whoever is holding the belt when and if he ever gets there.

I thought Oquendo may have been Tyson Furys opponent for February. Lots of fun entertaining fights to be made at the moment. With all the good prospects coming theough all the older names will make some good fights.
