Well it took 4 rounds for the USA heavyweight hope Deontay"Bronze Bomber" Wilder (30-0-0(30 KO) to knockout his opponent Nicolai "Stone Man" Firtha(21-11-1( 8 KO) last Saturday night. Firtha was a huge step down for Wilder as his last opponents were Audley Harrison and Sergey Liakhovic. At least those were old dogs former olympics and world champions. And Firtha.... well he looked like a hot-dog seller or gas station worker picked from the street. But what was most important he gave some fight for Wilder and was able to land some shots. Both Champions before were destroyed in the first round by brutal knockouts. Firtha had no chance against Wilder, but he showed the most important thing that night, there is a way to defeat the undefeated Wilder, you have just to go straight forward from the beginning, if you cut the distance you can land your shots, because Wilder looked poor on inside against Firtha, I can't imagine what the good brawler can do...
I mean yes, Deontay was very good in
that fight. He connected his jab, dropped Firtha two times in first
round. And made impressive knockout in round 4, but... Firtha was able
to land his punches and he even stunned Deontay with his jab in the
beginning of the fight. I mean there are big holes in Deontay defense,
that even the fighter like Firtha can land his punches. Firtha has no
power in his hands and he is not dangerous for Wilder, but there are
guys in the division that can punch really hard.
