Harvey Dock screws Mike Perez

[Spicoli]

It was a close fight and the score cards should have reflected it. Perez looked better than Jennings in spots, and I agreed with the announcers, he looked like a different fighter in the second half of the fight than he was in the first half of the fight. Jennings also looked good in spots last night too. How about Povetkin - Jennings?

Rat, IMO Povetkin would rip Jennings a new a-hole. Jennings is a gangly, spidery type of guy with not much power. He was not exactly breathing easy at the end last night. He has great reach and knows how to use it close in and that's unusual, but aside from The Rebel, I don't think he has ever been tested. Not impressed at all. Stiverne would KO him. Not as convinced about Wilder because he never has been tested and if Jennings takes him into the late rounds, I think its bye bye for Wilder. IF.

I just don't know how the smaller Jennings with the shorter reach would box the 6'7 Wilder from the outside without eating that huge right hand early.

Who said he'd box? Wilder hasn't shown at all he can maintain reach off the jab he has shown, nor the balance and has yet to be significantly countered with even a so so punch We're talking about a guy who has. not. gone. beyond 4 rounds..ever! Wilder is banking everything he has on bombing guys out in first couple rounds and I think he has cocooned himself into a false confidence that is going to blow up in his face. Jennings has shown more and faced better in his last 3 fights than Wilder has in his entire career and its boggling to see him so easily dismissed.

One punch KO power trumps all when your opponent is hittable.

Jennings is and lacks major firepower of his own.

He may be a better overall fighter than Wilder.

Randall Bailey and Julian Jackson knocked out plenty of guys who were better overall boxers than they were.

Well Jackson was Jackson, a cut above all mentioned. I rank his one & done power as some of the best the sport has seen and Wilders by almost design and fully expected.

I can't see Jennings taking a few shots and proving he can come back to win on a higher level as a negative while also giving a pass to Wilder who has not proven anything of the sort, not faced counters and only blitzed those he was fully expected to. Jennings can put his shots together and power can be overstated and intoxicating. You and I can list phone books on previous undefeated who came in on hyped power #'s and crumbled when guys boxed better and punched back. Morrison, Briggs, Stewart, Tshabalalawhatever his name was. Some power is really only as proven and as good as those you ko with it. I think anyway.
