By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder expects former world title challenger Eric Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) to potentially give IBF heavyweight title holder Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) problems in their fight on December 10 at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.
Wilder thinks that Molina’s heart and determination to win will make him fight harder. Molina will take more shots in this fight in order to try and win. He’ll land more shots. Joshua will need to be able to take some punches for a change, because the guys he’s been fighting haven’t been throwing punches.
They’ve been just standing around looking too timid to let their hands go. The last time Joshua fought guys that threw punches back at him was in the 2012 Olympics, when he won one controversial fight after another against guys that appeared to get the better of him.
