Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang - A CLOSER LOOK

Wilder and Zhang, two boxing bone-crunchers, return on June 1st.
Apair of power punching pugilists, out-foxed by the same savvy survivor, left searching for post-Parker redemption.
Zhilei Zhang, the beast from the east, unleashing south-paw skills and ferocious finishes.. Against generational banger, Deontay Wilder.

[@TitanTheCollector]

Zhang and Wilder both hit like Mack trucks, Zhang has actual boxing technique. Advantage:Zhang

[@jayjackman8846]

A lot of boxers has had technique over Wilder and still died

[@Ajxni]

Literally 80% of the people Wilder knocked out had better technique than him. It's more than just that my boy. It's really about how much he want it or if he just showing up for a paycheck...

[@TwinkieTerror]

hopefully he has been working on his technique. If he has then he should be coming back better than ever.

[@BraunBraker]

But Zhang has bad stamina

[@Byronic19134]

@@AjxniFor real I gotta see the face off because the thing about Wilder is spite and hate turns him into a literal super hero lol. Like if Zhang get’s Wilder mad during lead up he don’t got a chance. People can bring up 3rd Fury fight but always fail to mention that he was 0.5 second away from winning that fight in the 7th the 2nd time he knocked Fury down that was almost game over. Against Parker he was just happy to be there.

[@christurner2684]

People is counting Wilder out but I’m not, this fight is way closer than what people think, Zhang is a great fighter but he’s a stationary target and one thing you DO NOT wanna be when fighting somebody like a Wilder is a stationary target, this fight will be epic🔥🥊

[@kiboma4209]

Depends if Wilder will throw with intent

[@-.6666.-]

Zhang def is a whole lot to hit

[@redeyexxx1841]

Issue is Zhang has excellent timing and patience. If he connects then Wilder gonna fall. So it's a 50-50.

[@Edwin-sr8lq]

Wilder if anything is more stationary than Zhang. And his chin isn’t all that either. Zhang has power

[@englishguy9680]

All Wilder ever has is a punchers chance. If he gets lucky he catches Zhang and takes him out, but a much more likely scenario is Zhang who has solid amateur experience and took the best shots of Hrgovic, Joyce and Parker knocks Wilder spark out. Wilder has no defence only a lottery punch. Zhang has a better jab than Wilder too and once he connects with a big shot Wilder will disintegrate before your eyes

[@basedjiren3889]

Wilder just hasnt fought enough rounds man. He had 1 round of fighting in 2 years then hopped in the ring with a top 5 heavyweight and unsurprisingly lost. Now hes going in the right 6 months later against Zhang. Hes playing with fire and i just hope he doesnt get burnt

[@jkidder01]

Congrats on working with DAZN for Ring of Fire!! I recognized the narration and writing!! Fantastic Work!

[@Tredawakandan]

Personally i give ring rust as a potential out for Wilder last performance. Hopefully as he been saying the Old Wilder is back. Malik Scott is a good friend but he should've never tried to make Wilder more technical. Wilder was great because of 1 reason. As long as he stops questioning his gift i give him a winning shot. Joshua recently got his confidence back so i would like to see Wilder do the same

[@GerardoSantana]

I agree. but he still needs a jab. that jab sets up the right he should be good

[@blairansellfraser]

Deontay has never had the skills required, but has always had the potential had he been managed effectively…instead of milking the golden goose

[@GerardoSantana]

@@blairansellfraser Yeah I think his management team did a good job in that regard.

[@ep8u]

I want to back Zhang for the fact that he has better boxing ability on top of his power. But Zhangs feet are slow, and Wilder has a reach advantage if he can pull the trigger that right hand is devastating. Really intriguing match.

Zhang's career is interesting. Turned pro in his early 30s and now he's a top 3 heavyweight.

[@Arest_85]

I like Zhang and I can imagine him winning against Wilder. But he's not one of the top 3 heavyweights. He's lost to Parker and Hrgovic. And of the heavy guys, he's only beaten Joe Joyce, who boxed very badly in both fights. He's not going to win against Fury, AJ or Usyk.

[@mrgolstein]

I doubt he's better than DuBois

More like top 6, if he had stamina he might run everyone like a truck, Chinese George Foreman. Cement hands, granite chin, boxing skills, hard to beat. You can only out box him cause he runs out of tank later on, you have to be faster than he is.

[@alexq2930]

[@GerardoSantana]

This is absolutely not going the distance. Deontay was right about one thing that people still don't understand "You don't play boxing."

[@ZonZorZerx]

That's true, but Wilder can't box.

[@GerardoSantana]

@@ZonZorZerx doesn't matter. Ortiz was boxing Wilder's behind off and stopped focusing for one moment and it was over. Zhang is nowhere near as good a boxer as Ortiz and is far more susceptible to making a mistake. Zhang is there to be hit. hes a big guy and not agile like Fury. like this video showed, if Wilder can return to using his left as a rangefinder/blinder for his right, thats a serious threat. I think this fight is honestly going to come down to who gets off/hurts the other guy first. this fight is going to be exciting i think.

If ZZ doesn't catch and hurt Deontay early, say within 6, that right hand will find the mark in the later rounds. Zhangs plodding, come forward style and lack of stamina are perfect for Wilder patient game. Once ZZ tires, he morphs into Joe Joyce, a slow, static target.

Zhang’s always had a questionable gas tank but Wilder’s a one-trick pony (bad footwork, bad technique, poor endurance, poor fundamentals). Zhang is more skilled and has a variety of ways to put Wilder out but the southpaw’s biggest weakness is the best (and only) punch Wilder throws: The straight right. This fight is a toss up because both guys have their obvious flaws but Zhang is the better boxer and has more weapons at his disposal.

[@blastermaster5039]

heh. It appears Wilder is the underdog this time.

[@issi529]

You are definitely a Wilder hater. That one pony trick has the strongest right hand ever. He would have put you in a coma.

[@Ajxni]

@@issi529 Wilder isn't a one trick pony. Anybody who watched him from like 2015 til now know his jab was one of his biggest weapons. He may of gotten from that, but go to the first stiverne fight. He gotta use the jab the way he was in that fight to beat zhang. I think over the years he got away from that like stabbing jab to like more of a pawing setup jab. He gotta get back to that strong jab and mix it up. It's honestly the reason he haven't done good in his past fights, he got away from the jab he used to have.

[@martindunstan8043]

​@HouseTre007 maybe not, but he will see it coming and he will know exactly what punch it will be because Wilder only has one punch,so he will (like parker) be ready for it and box appropriately to ensure it's not a problem.

[@davidembacher1682]

I suppose most pundits will go for Zhang, but I have a strange feeling about Wilder this time, I think he’s going to bring it. No disrespect to Parker who performed great, and has a more complete skills set, but Wilder never really showed up for that fight. This time his demeanour suggests he knows it’s his last chance to remind everyone what he can do. But he needs to be smart, stay out of trouble and keep the big fella on the move in the early rounds because when he gets tired, Zhang gets hit (we saw it with Hirgovic) and one clean shot is all Wilder needs.
