I honestly can't see how Hughie would make AJ look bad. What do you see in Hughie's style that would trouble AJ?

That said, Joshua being able to say he stopped the one guy Wilder didn't would be a larger hype machine score than pretty much anything AJ could extract from a win over Szpilka.
Completely agree with this. I don't think there is much wrong with Szpilka, he makes the most of what he has got and luck to him. But I think the best he brings is being sparked out in the 7th round. He was leading against Wilder because of his industrious style and Wilder's characteristic laziness and sloppiness. But I think eventually the quality showed and Wilder won.
