Wilder's legs are far too thin for a HW. Molina wobbled him in the 3rd but didn't bother following it up. Poor show by Wilder for me, although he looked class against Stiverne who is a lot better than Molina. If Joshua has a good chin on him he should beat Wilder when the time comes, probably 18 months to 2 years time hopefully.

Are you seven years old or something?

Nice pay day for Smith, but unless Ward's been on the bobby for 2 years I give him no chance unfortunately.

Sensible/cowardly fight for Ward to take, depending on how you look at it.

These catch weight fights need to be [Poor language removed] right off

Not making the weight , indefensible really .

Even moreso woth this being at 172 instead of his usual 168. He gave Rocky Fielding a proper grilling on Sky for not making making the weight before his fight with Charles Adamu.

Andre ward is in a different league to Smith, I see the weight issue being a tactical play, he needs every advantage he can get.

It's a dirty trick messing about with weight. Making the weight can have a massive effect on how hard you train in the weeks leading up to the fight.

He's done this to have gas in the tank in the last three or four with the hope Ward will tire because he hasn't boxed for a long time.

All these fights at catch weights and fighters not making weight is becoming all too common and almost farcical at this stage.

Looking forward to Broner Porter, although I think Porter might struggle with the drop to 144, still hope he knocks Broner out.

I remember that, had a right pop at him, Ward will school him anyway.

Still can't see it being enough to give him a chance...

They've had another weigh in where neither was allowed to be over 181 and Smith weight in at 184.4 and has lost another $15k from his purse.
