Statistically wilder is a freak of nature with the way he generates power from that slingshot action and the lean frame .

But if there is a disadvantage even though we haven’t seen it often with the calibre of fighters he has faced , those skinny legs do wobble when he is hit .

Wilder does have a good chin and heart as he showed against Fury

@MN5
Yep and I’m not sure JP has the power to really hurt him. Let’s hope he proves us wrong

[MN5]

Barry talks a lot of shit but he speaks some sense here ( I hope )

Interesting stuff. Ali and Frazier both died ( relatively ) young and who knows what the future holds for Bowe and Holyfield.

Ken Norton ( also RIP ) deserves a mention too for his epic battles with Ali.

Top heavyweight boxers are the toughest mo fo’s on planet earth.

EDIT: I can’t post the link but it’s Kevin Barry discussing the fight, google it.

@kiwiinmelb It's his only way to victory. Many fighters have tried to avoid Wilder's right hand for 12 rounds but he'll catch you eventually with a negative mindset.

Yeah , has to roll the dice and attack him ,

Fa after doing surprisingly well for 6 rounds , has just been dropped twice and looking in big trouble as I’m writing, Sanchez has some nice power .

@kiwiinmelb Fa would have won round 6 too if it wasn't for his lapse in concentration by dropping his lead hand.

Jeez, Jai Opetaia is a bad man. V impressive.

[kiwiinmelb]

Dubois v miller was a good watch

Don’t know much about bivols opponent , but looking forward to watching bivol , he’s a class act

[African Monkey]

@kiwiinmelb Arthur is barely British level in fairness. He upset Yarde a little while back and is well schooled with a decent enough jab, but like Bivol, Arthur also lacks a bit of pop.

There are 3 certainties in life. Death, taxes and Dimitrii Bivol winning fights via UD.

Joe up in 6. Discipline.

[MN5]

Watching via match tracker. Any fern updates appreciated too. Sounds like Wilder’s one trick isn’t working as yet.

[MN5]

Sounds like Wilder needs the knockout to take this one. Apparently Parker has won every round.

[JK]

Watching it and yep Parker fighting very smart. Wilder just waiting for a chance to unload the right, very reactive and no game plan

[MN5]

Apparently Parker has landed some big shots and wobbled Wilder ?

[JK]

Parker had a great round 8 and had wilder in the corner in a bit of trouble. Parker was unloading and landed a couple of rough punches but couldn’t finish him

[scribe]

Stay disciplined and he’s got this. 3 rounds to go

[JK]

Wilder still hasn’t won a round so needs to let go of the hands now

When he misses that big right hand it leaves him open for a counter so hopefully Joe is savvy enough.

JP has already done WAY better than I thought he would.

[JK]

Wilder just showing how he’s not much of a boxer. Starting to come forward a bit more now though

[JK]

Two rounds to go!
