It’s acceptable for Deontay Wilder to fight Audley Harrison but not David Price?

wilder45By Dominic Sauboorah: Unbeaten heavyweight Deontay Wilder will be FINALLY stepping up in class (if you want to call it that) against Audley Harrison at Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield. The fight has been scheduled for 10 rounds and will be the co-feature bout for the fight between Amir Khan and Julio Diaz.

I do think this is a good test for the unbeaten American as Harrison is a former European champion and world title challenger. What baffles me however is the fact that a certain someone kept yapping on and criticizing David Price for fighting Harrison, yet what makes it any different for Wilder?

This certain someone has been singing Wilder’s praises for awhile now and yet doesn’t seem to criticize Wilder for fighting Harrison but instead praises him saying how it will be a tough test.

Strange, considering that Harrison will most likely weigh the same weight for the Wilder fight as he did for the Price fight. I don’t understand that one bit, I mean there is NO difference whatsoever for Wilder when it comes to him fighting Harrison and instead this certain someone thinks it’s “good fight” between the two, yet when it came to Price and Harrison he stated how it was a “mismatch” and how Harrison was an “old man” despite the fact that he was coming off of a win.

It is funny to be honest as it emphasizes how stupid some people can be. Either way it will be an interesting fight and it’ll allow the boxing public to see if Deontay Wilder is the real deal. In all honesty I see this fight ending by knockout, as both are big punchers and it will be Harrison’s left against Wilder’s right.
