Isn’t it amazing how going into the ring with intent to hurt the other person makes one a winner. David did everything right from the get go. He controled the centre of the ring, pushed Wilder into positions where it was difficult for him to swing his long arms and aslo was able to put a bit of weight behind his punches by using his body twist. Congratulation to David and also a great big thanks to his coach who no doubt has brought out the new David
