Aareola has never looked particularly great to me. He obviously has good power but he doesn't look that great technically and he seems pretty easy to hit. So the fact he was able to steamroll Mitchell, I hope they are done hyping him. Now it seems Wilder is the #1 hype job. I say give Aareola a shot at him. We all know Wilder is being protected for some reason and the Ks would destroy both of them anyways.
Yes Mitchell will either fade away or become cannon fodder for up and coming prospects. His career is eerily similar to fellow ex Michigan State football player Tom McNeely. The only difference is McNeely was able to fight for the world title and Mitchell will never fight for the lineal belt and has a marginal chance at best to fight for a splintered belt. Mitchell's chin makes Bruce Seldon's chin look like the Great Wall of China....:scared:
Hopefully Zimnoch takes care of Deontay BLACKSTAR Wilder. He's the biggest hype job on the planet these days. The DWF's want him as champion.
Watched the Wilder-Firtha fight and these are my observations: wilder is 29-0 with 29 KOs, so why is he fighting a guy who is 21-10? The announcers stated Wilder couldn't get a better opponent because of money issues. This stinks to high hell! He's obviously avoiding better fighters. Wilder is all offense...he got tagged multiple times by Firtha, who quite honestly looked like a very slightly above average pro. Any upper echelon fighter will be able to hurt Wilder. He's been floored in the amateurs and it will happen in the pros. Wilder stands flat footed and throws bombs...this won't work against upper echelon fighters. I won't say he's a horrible fighter because he isn't. That said, I think his handlers know he will taste the canvas eventually and probably want to make as much money on him as possible. If they thought he was capable of winning a title they would have got him an opportunity long ago.
Deonday"Blackstar" Wilder claims he will fight a Klitschko in 2014. Once he fights someone that can punch he's a done deal. Blackstar won't know what hit him. He has a terrible chin as can be seen by how bum Harold Sconiers put him on his ass. That's why he hand picks these guys he fights, he knows he can't beat a puncher.
I watched the international feed and Dave Bontempo all but implied Wilder will get a rude awakening when he fights a legit top 10 fighter. Shoot this guy who is really a cannon fodder ESPN opponent bum rushed him and mildly stunned him in the first. Bontempo stated that he commits too much on his shots and leaves himself wide open for counters. Plus usually fighters with his frame can't take a punch. If you look at his upper body it's strong and developed but his legs are built like a giraffe. See Tommy Hearns when he got nailed by big punchers.
