Deontay Wilder IS letting fans (and opponents) see more of him, he's fought as many rounds in his last 2 fights (21) as he has in the 10 fights prior to those (21). Wilder has stepped up competition but also competition has stepped up to Wilder. Molina apparently gave a good account of himself and he as well as Stiverne may have laid the foundation for beating Wilder in the future.

If Wilder is to stay champ he will have to learn from experiences like this. If Povetkin can slip and counter (which he'll have to be in range to do) then that will be a VERY interesting fight.
See this is what I'm worried about. Povetkin has power and will hit Wilder. He needs to tighten up that defence soon before that fight so I would be getting him another outing before then.

The question is who would win between Wilder & Joshua now. I don't think you can write Wilder off, but you can say he'd lose if he showed up like that for AJ. I have no doubt he'll be better than that by the time AJ reaches that level.
