Deontay Wilder – Matt Greer official for Saturday, January 19th

wilder45By Scott Gilfoid: U.S boxing fans will have the opportunity to see the unbeaten heavyweight talent Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) in action this Saturday night against the capable Matt Greer (15-8, 13 KO’s) on January 19th at the La Nave Del Parque in Villa Hermosa, Mexico.

The Wilder-Greer fight, which is scheduled for 8 rounds, will be televised by Fox Deportes in the United States. That’s a channel a lot of Americans have on cable, so this is going to be real treat for U.S fans to see the 6’7” Wilder in action as he attempts to add his 27th consecutive knockout. Wilder is creeping in on the world record for consecutive knockouts of 44. That sounds like a doable record for Wilder if he can keep improving.

Dirrell, Wilder, Broner & Alexander…Can you spot the link?

broner564By Rusty Nate: You’ll notice from the title that there is a very distinctive link between these fighters. Most BN24 hard core followers will know exactly what or who that link is.

I want to just put together an article that addresses all the fighters without the element of complete and utter bias towards anything American.

So let’s start with the most recent of these fighters to be praised unconditionally by the famous writer we all know and love to hate.

Andre Dirrell

He is a great fighter. He has speed, power, good balance and a noticeable determination when he is in the ring. Unfortunately I have already said the big problem! “When he is in the ring”.

Deontay Wilder’s opponent still not confirmed

wilder3434By Scott Gilfoid: The unbeaten heavyweight knockout Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) will be fighting this Saturday night in a scheduled 10 round bout at the Centro de Convenciones, Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. His opponent still hasn’t been confirmed for the fight.

It was rumored that Wilder would be fighting journeyman Matt Greer, but that might not be happening. There’s still a possibility the talented 27-year-old Wilder could be facing a better quality fighter than Greer. He’s a fine opponent given that Wilder was put on the card a week ago, so you can’t expect Wilder to be facing talents like Chris Arreola, Johnathon Banks or Bryant Jennings on such short notice.

Wilder fired up by his critics stating the truth

wilder322By Dominic Sauboorah: Heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) has fired back at his critics on twitter stating how his haters haven’t nearly achieved half of what he has. I’m sorry is he serious? Wilder won the WBC Americas continental heavyweight title. Whoa step back a second. Wilder can hit back at his critics but it’s not good enough just to talk, he has to shut his critics up in the ring.

He’s angered by people stating how he’s fought “bums” and “nobodies.” But these criticisms are constructive, because if he’s so content in fighting these 4th tier fighters then why is he calling out Tyson Fury, a guy who’s ranked in the top 10 by ring magazine and who has beaten much better opposition than him.

Deontay Wilder fires back at his critics

wilder23By Scott Gilfoid: Tired of the constant bellyaching from fans that will likely never accomplish as much as him, the unbeaten heavyweight talent Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) unleashed the dogs of war briefly in sending a message to his critics today on twitter.

Wilder said “Why do people that will never do or accomplish half the stuff you’ve [I’ve] done in a lifetime have the biggest mouths?”

Yes, it’s very true, Mr. Wilder. There’s so much jealousy coming from some of these fans that they don’t how to properly process their hateful emotions and so they open their yaps to lash out. Of course it doesn’t change anything because Wilder keeps having great success with his promising career.

Deontay Wilder isn’t even rated in the top 100 heavyweights

wilder54By Dominic Sauboorah: Heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder has won all of his fights by way of knockout and has yet to go past the 4th round in any of his fights. Impressive? Far from that.

Wilder has fought nothing but low tier opposition since turning professional and the guy’s not getting any younger. Golden Boy are hyping him up to be the next great thing, a bit ironic considering that they’re still yet to step him up.

His next fight is against unknown quantity Matt Greer. I mean this is just getting embarrassing now. The guy he’s fighting has lost 8 of his 23 fights. That’s just out and out pathetic. The fact that he’s calling out David Price and Tyson Fury, who are genuine contenders, is ridiculous. There were even rumors that Klitschko knocked him down numerous times in sparring.

Wilder vs. Greer possibly to be televised in U.S. on Fox Espanol

wilder2By Scott Gilfoid: U.S boxing fans could be in for a treat on January 19th, as the 10 round fight between Deontay Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) and Matt “Gator” Greer (15-8, 13 KO’s) may be televised in the United States on Fox Espanol from the Centro de Convenciones, Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico. It’s still too early to tell right now but that would be great for American fans to be able to see the 27-year-old Wilder in action in this fight.

This is merely a stay busy fight and nothing really special. Golden Boy Promotions had a spot for one of their cards in Mexico, and Wilder was asked on short notice if he was interested in taking the fight and of course he said yes. Wilder wants to fight as often as possible against whoever he can get in the ring. If there’s none of the big names available to fight him then he’s fine with taking on a lesser fighter to stay sharp.

Deontay Wilder set for a 27th straight knockout win!

wilder3By Adam Mccoy: Bronze Bomber Wilder will be facing journeyman Matt Greer next in his 27th pro contest. It’s amazing after 26 fights Deontay is still fighting these guys that have no chance of winning or even no chance of surviving more than 6 rounds. Matt Greer is a lamb being sent to get slaughtered, remember Amir Khans recent critics that Molina was picked for him? It seems that when a boxer suffers a string of defeats they have a tune up to get back into winning ways.

Deontay Wilder is doing the exact opposite because he knows the second he faces someone even ranked in the top 50 chances are he will either get KO’D or found out big style. Wilder instead of stepping up opposition is facing these unknowns or journeymen to keep the KO record going.

Fury: I want Deontay Wilder, Jennings or Banks in the United States

wilder5By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten British heavyweight Tyson Fury (20-0, 14 KO’s) says he’s interested in facing American heavyweights Deontay Wilder, Bryant Jennings or Johnathon Banks soon in the United States. Fury, 24, doesn’t say when he plans on fighting one or all of them, only that he wants to fight one. It’s no secret that the talented knockout artist Wilder (26-0, 26 KO’s) tried calling Fury only last year but was only ignored. It kind of reminded me how Adrien Broner tried to get a fight with Ricky Burns and had no luck as well.

Wilder had this to say about Fury at Uk.fighthype.com, saying “I would like a fight with him [Fury] as soon as possible, but he’s a coward. He won’t fight anyone he knows he has a high chance of losing against.”
