Wilder returned. Sluggish battle but another early victory

Early in the morning of June 28, 39-year-old American Deonta Wilder (44–4–1, 43 KOs), former World Champion, returned to the ring on June 28 after two defeats in a row. His opponent was 37-year-old Tyrrell Guindon (24-6, 15 KO). Intrigue was not expected from the fight, which was absolutely logical. However, the final result also did not cause anyone.

Wilder says he wants to return to the top level smoothly. To do this, started everything from the beginning

Deonta Wilder’s American has not been in the top weight for a long time. If it is remembered, it is because of previous merit, not because of what is happening with a career now.

Once upon a time, Deonta had a dozen defense of the title in the overweight. It is a lot. More – only in legends such as Larry Holmes or Vladimir Klitschko. Earlier, Wilder knocked his opponents, invariably stitching their protection with his heavy hits.

Now everything is different. The American lost four times in the last five duels (excluding a meeting with Guerndon). He was defeated by Tyson Fury twice. After that, he was beaten by Joseph Parker. And after that Zhang Zjilei.

In the break between these defeats there was a victory – over Robert Helenius. However, she was not surprised, because Finnish boxer generally likes to fall from epic hits. Just here it happened too fast-in the 1st round.

Before the battle against Gerndon Wilder confessed that he really lost his faith in himself. He turned to a sports psychologist and worked on moral recovery first. He also changed the trainer. Instead of Malik Scott, Deontey is now trained by Don Hau, who, among other things, cooperated with MMA fighters. And also with Bermein Steveren when he was won by Wilder.

However, cardinal changes were not expected. Deonteu is 39 years old, and it is most likely impossible to learn something new. It is more logical to sort the old one to a state when the mistakes are at least.

Moreover, Wilder will not teach anything in general. Its main feature is a blow. He needs to use dimensions so as not to let him hit and beat. Because he and Parker did not beat at all. And there, as it will be.

To battle against Guindon Deonta came out weighing just over 100 kilograms. Often, in the best years, the American had a lot less-about 95-98 kilograms, and any increase in this indicator did not lead to anything positive.

But it was before. Now Wilder is 39, and probably it is its optimal weight. Moreover, it was enough for victory.

The battle came out fresh. In the 2nd Round of Deonta, he perfectly caught his opponent with the left side towards. It was on time, apt and beautiful. However, nothing else happened.

Gerndon, feeling the rival’s hit, began to hide. In the clinch, lowering the head below the opponent’s belt, then combining these two actions. It did not work, but it did not fall.

Deonta did not hit. It was squeezed from different sides, but it was slow, it is simply inaccurate. However, he began with force. He won the knockdown in the 6th round and stop the battle in the 7th round. The referee was hurried: the opponent had definitely not had problems so serious to remove him from the battle. However, it is good, because it was difficult to look at. Nothing extraordinary. Wilder expected a beautiful victory, not a working one. However, it may be for the better. He will not overshadow his head that he can still turn away people with one blow.

What now?

With Guindon everything is clear – nothing has changed. He earned money, seized Wilder, lost without injuries. Well done!

Deonta himself says that 2025 will conduct this opposition. Uncomfortable middle -aged ones that make you work. And then she will look at his condition. At the same time, he notes that the top battle will agree if it happens. He calls the names Anthony Joshua and even Alexander Usik.

Of course, the American is not ready for such confrontations, and the only right story is the maintenance of the plan and a gradual return. Because now, Deonteu is less paid and loses guaranteed.

Again, talking about learning something for these fights. It is about regaining self -confidence and just shooting at opponents. Because Parker and Tangle did not allow it to do so because of their attacks. And Guindon – because of the slope of the head almost to the ground.

Once a great and terrible Deonta Wilder ended. The working option remains. A sturdy shot boxer that should be made in and out of the ring to win. With a stylistically right rival, it can even look fun, but not with people who fight like Guindon.

However, such opposition still needs to be reached. And it is advisable to do it in the perfect shape to look really cool. And after that, you can retire.
