I think Wilder should pace himself with the jab and look for openings. He can’t leave himself open like he did against Ortiz. The one thing that impresses me about Wilder is that you can have more boxing ability than him, but his will to win will get him through any fight.

Conditioning will play a huge factor and Wilder is the better conditioned athlete. AJ tends to look tired sometimes and that could be dangerous for him.

I have the margin a little wider than you have it. After 5-6 rounds it will be the beginning of the end for AJ.
