A serious thread regarding Joshua Wilder

[Phenom]

AJ comes out on the front foot and puts it on Wilder, closing the distance and not letting Wilder get his right hand off.

AJ has superior combinations and accuracy, short punches, uppercuts, inside fighting. Deyonce has awful defence when under pressure.

Boom. Goodnight.

AJ wins by KO in 1.

Seriously, guys have a look here at AJ/Klitschko Round 5. AJ comes out and fucks him up. There's nothing Deyonce can do if he's put under that same pressure. It's over.



Deyonce just hasn't been in with an animal like this.

And let's not forget Joshua was green at this stage, hence blowing himself out. He has improved alot since this fight.

Looks familiar?

AJ is at reach disadvantage much slower doesn't have head movement and his chin is questionable

The obvious way to go about it is fighting him inside and negate the reach and speed disadvantage while using his size and better combinations if he tries to box him like Parker he will get knocked out

Both fighters can hurt the other with one punch. So I'd like to predict a victory for the guy with more technical skills, Joshua. But Joshua's defense is nothing special and I don't think he's ever faced a faster, awkward guy like Wilder. Styles make fights; and I see Wilder catching him for the count in round 8 or 9 when Joshua tires and loses focus.

Joshua doesn't have the chin to withstand Wilder's punches. Joshua either runs all night and wins a wide decision or Wilder shatters his chin.

The honest answer is it depends on how AJ comes out and boxes. A younger AJ who was more aggressive and had more to prove might be a better opponent for him but with his last few fights he has been sub par. It seems like now he has the fame hes wants to ride it out and adopt a more careful style, see floyd or Klitschko as examples.

The problem though is that against Wilder he probably cant play safe and he needs to out gun Wilder. Wilder fights the exact same way every damn time. Comes out looking for one punch only. Uses his jab to distract, pull down, or blind his opponent to set up his right.

If AJ was smart he would use his size and smother Wilder up. I doubt wilder has any real power if he needs to fight short range. But if he fights let's say, the same way he didnt against parker, poor job utilizing distance, or against Povektin where Povektin landed clean overhands over his jab over and over its gonna be a short night for AJ.

AJ is the same size as Wilder. But hes heavier and stronger and shouldn't fear Wilders right because if hes smart like Fury just look for it. If he can exploit a counter then he should be fine.

It just depends on AJ. If I was his trainer I'd advise him to not use his jab too often and to set up traps and feints off of it. Wilder will try to pull your jab down or come over it. 100%

Also get close fast and make Wilder fight off the back foot. Hit him with body shots. You dont even need the KO to win. Punish him.

Personally I dont think AJ has what it takes. Hes really stiff and not as athletic as Wilder. Hes got the power to hurt Wilder but if he cant judge distance and eats overhands that wont win it.

Im a fan of both fighters, which probably isnt allowed on here. Ive always said I'd pick AJ but its 60/40 for me as AJ is the better boxer, but Wilder is just much more exciting. Wilder can not and wouldnt win a decision vs AJ, he knows it and so does AJ. It wont be like Wilder/Fury as Fury is much slicker than AJ, but no where near the power. The longer the fight goes, the more I'd actually favor Wilder landing his sledgehammer, but I think AJ gets to him first and wins in 6 or under, but wouldnt shock me to see Wilder land the right and get the W. I think whoever wins in the first will lose in the rematch leading to a trilogy that will be great for boxing.

Also guaranteed prediction: Staying away from this site after the fight as it'll be uglyyyyyyyyyyyy whoever wins lol

[champion4ever]

My take for Anthony Joshua to win is by not trying to out box Wilder but by taking the fight to him on the inside. He must find away to collapse the pocket in order to be successful. He has to fight him at short range by backing Wilder up and pinning him on the ropes and smothering his power. Make it a very physical and fast paced fight.

Deontay Wilder on the other has to keep the fight at long range and keep Joshua at bay with his jab. Since he is the naturally taller man, with the longer reach, he has to keep the shorter and stronger Joshua at the end of his punches by staying off the ropes and circling the ring. This way he can drop that right hand at will.

AJ tires in later rounds and Wilder Knocks him out.

AJ can’t beat Wilder. Why to much speed on wilders side.

AJ wouldn’t do that out of fear if Wilder right hand. Typical Brit moron.
