What should be said about Deontay Wilder now?

[brocktonblockbust]

Opinions of Deontay should be almost the same as on Friday. Sports fans tend to only look at what they last saw. That's silly. All evidence should be considered.

OH, those myopic 'sports fans' again....looking at what they ~last~ saw....except that, what they "last" saw was the fight itself.

I think that wilder was just trying to go for the KO quickly and when that didn't happen, he had to change his gamelan. Wilder is the same as I thought before. He is an inexperienced fighter who has some good tools and is just fortunate to be in a terrible division.

Probably what some have said before last night. His chin is questionable, he is stiff with overrated predictable bow & arrow delivery and power and wasted too much time padding his record with blow outs where he learned zero. I really do think he is full of false confidence. Now is at the top where every flaw is magnified and his margin for error very narrow as he cannot go lower than a Molina who had him looking wreckless and amateurish. This was his homecoming "showcase" gimme and its only going to get much much tougher. What stood out to me was how bad his defense is on the backfoot...he is straight line and literally paws. His head does not move..the shoulders do a bit and he can bend at the waist..but that head and neck remain in basically one unblinking position. Molina had no business landing as many right hands as he did and taking ground. I don't think he beats Povetkin.

Pretty much agree with most of this. The worst part about his defense backing up is he just leaves his chin out to dry. He's an idiot if he thinks that'll continue to go unpunished.
