@mn5 I think yeah, he might actually hit harder. It's a close call.
Yeah hard to measure that sort of stuff , they hit differently , Tua had very heavy hands ,
Like getting hit with a Besser block from closer range ,
Wilder is like hitting you with a house brick from further back at higher speed .
Yeah guess it is. Similar to George Foremans punches which looked pretty slow and ponderous but fuck getting hit by him !
Getting hit by George was like being hit by a swinging sledgehammer , he was a hardman

@mariner4life 96 seconds and what appeared to be a glancing blow ended Mundine patchy but chased up career.
-
if you watch the slow motion footage , wasnt hit by much at all ,
I heard rumors some time ago , he was being touched up in sparring by young amateurs ,being embarrassingly dropped by nobodies ,
I wouldnt get too carried away with Horn getting to the top at middleweight going off that .
Gone in 96 seconds: Jeff Horn KOs Anthony Mundine in first round at Suncorp Stadium
Gone in 96 seconds: Horn sends Mundine into retirement

@kiwiinmelb He'll be going to Light Middleweight after this and yeah, he'll do well to make progress there in a pretty strong division these days with guys like Munguia, Hurd, Lara etc. running around there and possibly Errol Spence going there in the near future.

Yeah I think he needs to fight in a division as light as he can get away with , where he can maintain some strength,
Never going to outclass the better boxers , look what Crawford did to him , his best chance is to out bully guys , the higher he goes up , less likely he is do to that imo.
-
But after giving it more thought , junior middle is probably an easier gig compared To welterweight from a talent point of view . And that is probably their thinking .
I reckon welterweight is the premier division for depth of raw talent right now .
-
@kiwiinmelb Yeah and Horn won't be fighting to make weight as much at 154 but still, I don't see him winning a world title there.
-
Both these guys are so weird to watch
-
He's all over it i reckon. Fury on points

He's doing better now yes. Awkward as fuck but he makes it work
-

-
Fury was better , but I think the two knockdowns will cost him
-
