Wilder - Liackovich spoiler

[reggaereggae]

This is only the second time I have seen Wilder; I thought he was a protected fighter. But he was patient, boxed well for the opening.... and scored a devastating KO.

OK Liackovich is past it; but he was boxing quite well. And the KO was frightening, even though Sergei was not even hit clean.

He looks like the biggest puncher in the world, pound for pound, and has a real chance against the Klits. On talent and potential I think he's number 3 in the world

[SteveDow]

Great ko but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to see him in against a guy that can take his punches to see how good he really is. I think the likes of Thompson (if he loses to Pulev) or Arreola would be a good shout for his next opponent.

People were saying the same thing about David Price 8 months ago!

[squared circle]

He needs a real test before we can start claiming he's top three in world!

He looked horribly raw in the brief time it took to make Harrison fall down.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Only seen this fight and audley fight. His KO records impressive but he's yet to fight a live opponent or at least a decent contender. He could end up
The next Seth Mitchell.

Will people ever learn?

Price could borrow a few of his moves, as his power is probably as good too.

no doubt about Price's power but Wilder has better hand speed and can't have a worse chin surely.

[Final round]

Good finish, i wonder if he's still pencilled in as a future Chisora opponent?

Prices chin seemed fine to me, he took some huge shots from Thompson in the rematch. The first fight it was a shot behind the ear that scrambled his equilibrium. I'd say his stamina is more of an issue than his chin.

[reggaereggae]

OK, there are good points; he is untested. Maybe I got carried away; but his power seems supernatural.

ANd yes, a guy like Thompson would be a great test and would have a good chance.

I just think because of his punch he has a good chance against Wlad

[Bard of Boxrec]

Good speed and power but he's been protected for a reason. His team will know about his chin...the signals are all there.

Once he goes in with someone who can absorb his shots and punch back we'll see what he's made of, my guess is he won't like it at all.

I doubt there will be many fighters who will be able to absorb his shots. You might be able to take the odd few here and there but with the power he's carrying you wont be able to stand up to too many of them.

[The Law]

Wlad allegedly dropped Wilder when they sparred according to Manny Steward's assistant. However, sparring with Haye and Wlad was great experience for Wilder and he has improved considerably since.

Wilder's legs are rather thin, which is a worry.

Do you think he has the big punchers curse; poor punch resistance?

[handsofstone]

I didnt like the look of Liakhovich after he went down,i freaked out for a second i thought he was having a fit but musta been trying to get up.pheww

[veriton]

put price in with him, perfect rebuilding fight.

It's been a long week and I blame the lack of sleep!

[palooka]

we all have 'em

[squared circle]

Irony is if price had got past the tiger, then a shootout with wilder could have well happened.

And whoever landed first........

[broomy7s]

He's starting to get my attention that's for sure. Got some power but I agree with the law, legs are tiny for a heavyweight. Gonna be a fun ride that's for sure and will challenge for a title at least.

Ive never really seen him take a significant shot mate! That's probably a lot to do with the standard of opposition aswell but I couldnt really say until I saw him in against a 'live' opponent it's hard to say.
