Wilder vs. Harrison

Lennox: Deontay Wilder needs work on his punching

by

wilder23By Scott Gilfoid: Former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis recently got the chance to see unbeaten American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) destroy fellow British heavyweight Audley Harrison in a 1st round knockout in London, UK, and Lewis came away from the experience thinking that the 6’7” Wilder needs work on his punching.

Wilder hurt Audley with his first right hand of the fight, and he then snowed him under with windmill shots until Audley collapsed on the canvas. He got up and the fight was stopped because Deontay had done such a good job with his big power shots, but it looks like Lewis wasn’t all that impressed.

Wilder vs. Harrison: The COMMENTS

by

deontay7By Tony Crooks: First of all, I am English and I am proud of my heritage and no comment will ever take that away from me, full stop. Despite this, boxing is about boxing and boxers are about boxers. If a boxer is good and he comes from Outer Mongolia or the North Pole, so what, too much emphasis is put on where a pugilist is born. Whether he is white, black, yellow or orange it does not matter to me, all that interests me is the skills that they possess.

Heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) beat Audley Harrison at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, UK and that was what was expected of him. I don’t care what anyone says, Wilder proved absolutely nothing. If he was British, I would say the same thing. What I am unable to understand are the keyboard cowards that make comments.

Why Deontay Wilder is a long way from the top

by

wilder#1By Sean David: Heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) has an impressive record. However, it only looks impressive on paper. At the moment the record is only as strong as that paper. He may be capable of contending for titles at the top level, but he is a long way from hanging and banging with the big boys.

Deontay’s record is high in numbers but low in quality. After watching his interviews, he is quite a likeable character and the boxing always has room for characters. If all it took to be in the elite was some microphone skills then yes he would be in the top ten, but talk is cheap.

Tyson Fury talks Wilder and Khan-Diaz

deontay11By Scott Gilfoid Heavyweight Tyson Fury says if the unbeaten American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) wants to fight him then he’s going to have go get in line behind the other heavyweight fights he’s got planned.

Fury saw Amir Khan’s fight with Julio Diaz last night, and he came away thinking that Diaz should have been given the decision. I agree with Fury in that. Diaz did more than enough to win a close decision given the knockdown and the fact that he won three out of the last four rounds.

Schaefer: We want Deontay to fight David Price or Tyson Fury

by

wilder7By Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says he’d like to set up a fight between his fighter unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and the top British heavyweights David Price or Tyson Fury if they’re willing to fight him.

Schaefer doesn’t think they are, but he’s very, very interested in making that fight if either of them gets the courage to accept the fight with the 6’7” knockout artist Wilder.

Deontay stopped one of Britain’s best heavyweights in Audley Harrison in the 1st round last night in Sheffield. It’s too bad Britain’s two biggest heavyweights won’t step up to the plate to fight Deontay because it kind of looks bad that they don’t want to test themselves against him.

Audley Harrison was fighting two men in the ring

audley99By Mark Calooke: No one expected Audley Harrison to win tonight. The fight was a mismatch and a farce. But Audley didn’t deserve the injustice he received. Harrison should have retired long ago and nothing has changed there. fans know what to expect from Harrison and it is nothing good.

After just one minute of the first round, Wilder landed a cracking right hand. Harrison was hurt but was smart enough to take a knee. Wilder then lunged in with several wild and sloppy hooks. It wasn’t his fault because he was over excited. But nowhere in boxing does it say that it is legal to hit someone whilst they are on the floor. The ref saw Harrison take a knee and should have given him a standing 8 count. Instead he let Wilder hit Harrison several times.

Khan decisions Diaz; Wilder destroys Harrison

Khan was constantly in trouble from the hard punches from Diaz, and he got by on sheer luck in the last half of the fight. Khan was hurt by big shots from Diaz and had to hold onto him in rounds 9, 10 and 11.

Audley: I’m going to take Deontay Wilder into the deep rounds

by

audley65By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Audley Harrison (31-6, 23 KO’s) revealed Sky Sports what his game plan is for his fight tonight against the talented American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, UK. Audley’s plan is a simple one.

Audley says he’s going to take Deontay into the later rounds of the fight to take advantage of the fact that he’s never been past the 4th round to try and wear him down. Sounds like a plan put together without much thought.

Audley said “Deontay has never been in the later rounds, and it’s my job to take him there. My mojo is back.”
