I still think David Benavidez vs Wilder at cruiser weight or 201 pounds heavyweight would be a good move on both of their sides! Green print

Look, Wilder is limited. Even moreso now that he's creeping toward 40 and his right hand seems to be working at only 30% capacity. Still, he at least tried last night. Herndon literally threw less than ten punches through seven rounds. I don't particularly care if I ever see Wilder again, and I am absolutely certain I don't even want to hear the name Herndon again.

Wilder is back, baby. Time to make that huge Anthony Joshua fight now.

This was no better or worse than Aj getting booed in a half empty wembly arena against Franklin on an L to Whyte

The shoe-in hall-of-famer got some rounds in, boxed effectively some and unleashed the power. First time that he's fought without hampering, surgery requiring injury in four years, and he looked better than I assumed he would.

I'm with Ring Magazine owner Turki Alalshikh....don't bore me, give me Bronze Bombs!!!!!!

Anthony Joshua's last performance even during a loss vs Daniel Dubois, was better than Deontay Wilder's win vs Tryell Herndon in my opinion 'That is how unimpressive, and insignificant in terms of World level Wilder's performance was last night'.

But, I will say this? I think Deontay Wilder just needed a win on his resume. I have always classed him a fighter, who will attempt to raise his game against better opponents. Because Deontay Wilder's skill level is not super high, sometimes? Fighters even at domestic level, can make him appear to be under-par if they survive his power.

That is what happened last night 'Tryelll Herdon was enduring Wilder's power much more better than many people anticipated. Tryell Herndon was most likely in the best condition he has ever been in for a fight, for a very long time. Much like when Jermaine Franklin fought Anthony Joshua, Franklin was 22 pounds lighter than his previous fight against Dillian Whyte. Franklin weighed in at 254 pounds vs Whyte, and then 234 pounds vs Anthony Joshua'.

Note: Now I think Jermaine Franklin potentially could be one of the best American Heavyweight fighters right now, and would have a chance of beating Deontay Wilder. But the point I am making is? Fighters raise their game when they compete against fighters with the prestige of Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder'.

To conclude: Regardless. I still don't think it was a great performance by Deontay Wilder, his conditioning seemed to be way below even his usual standards. Wilder seemed to be fatigued and very static in terms of movement, and agility. But I suppose the important thing is that, Wilder achieved a stoppage win. Deontay Wilder definitively needs more fights, at a higher level before challenging any top level Heavyweight fighters. Wilder's power and speed did not look super dangerous in my opinion. I am sure Wilder and his team know they have to improve, at least now they have a reference point from where they can build from for the future'.

Deontay Wilder post fights comments, that the Anthony Joshua fight can take its time 'Is a clear indication that Wilder and his team know they are miles off challenging Anthony Joshua. Certain folk within the boxing community may attempt to mock and ridicule Joshua, but nobody can deny his game. Anthony Joshua is one of the very few Heavyweight fighters with the combined attributes of World to elite level power and skill for skill boxing ability' etc.

Unfortunately this is the time we are most likely to get Wilder/AJ. They've both gone to **** and have basically nothing to fear from each other anymore since the result barely matters now, but the fight will still do numbers beyond anything else they can get.

Deontay Wilder beat an opponent that he was supposed to beat. He finally fought for the first time with an effective jab. Credit his new trainer. He would have benefited from his new trainer in his fights against Fury. He also still looked sloppy, but actually executed calculated punches at times. While I believe, that he's finally learning how to box, his best days are behind him. I still give him a puncher's chance against AJ and Usyk. He can lose those bouts in disastrous fashion too - a testament to a still horrible Heavyweight Division.

I'll watch it but it will end up like Adonis vs Chad Dawson.

He crushed a can. <Yawn!>

I was impressed with his jab.
