So does anyone think Wilder can beat Wlad?

[Spicoli]

His power may be fine but its his delivery and leaky recovery that leaves him in very vulnerable spot. The arsenal is pretty basic, jab, straight right and very little body work. That lead wide uppercut is an accident waiting to happen. I can't see him jabbing with a two handed master jabber like Wlad and that mauling added on those thin legs would not go well at this stage I believe. Basically for his size and height I don't think Wildrr is all that strong.

That's exactly how i see him now he's faced a solid opponent.

I really don't think he's as strong as people seem to think.

I think Wlads left hook will land because Wilder leaves himself so wide open and someone with his (Wlads) size and reach is very easily gonna exploit that opening and land.

Wilder broke his right hand early in the fight which probably explains why it went twelve. If he doesn't manage to break his hand against Junior he can win. Junior can't jab and grab all night against somebody the same size as him but with the same reach and more mobile.

At some point Wilder will manage to land something substantial and Junior's china chin is going to have to stand up to that right hand.

I think a Zelenoff rematch is in order first...

I kid, I kid...

One thing you miss when you have no rounds is preparing for the sheer ugliness and physicality, grinding inside with same size or tactic. Doing the rewatch on Showtime and can't get over how Wilder gets moved around. Watch the legs and feet alone, dude is or prone to be square most of the time with a step off and really, really open. He throws the exact same low hands response while straight tall. He proved a beard the other night. He went 12 rounds and kept his composure well. Earned the glory. But I think Wlad destroys him.

After researching the fight I have some confidence Deontay could beat Wlad. I think Wlad has too many old time tricks up his sleeve but I give Wilder some chance.

@walrus,

I grant you this about Wilder, I much prefer Wlad to fight these types of big power opponents because even if they aren't as strong or good as Wlad, they always have a punchers chance.

Guys like Jennings have no avenue for victory or even really survival at all.
