I been saying this for ages that Wilder is doing this so called "sloppy" technique on purpose. He is throwing this wide reckless loopy shots and also he is hitting with his wrists on purpose.
Its very effective and guys can't see it coming or get out of the way quick enough, and he has crazy power, he has huge power in both hands.
People that keep saying his boxing skills are so bad, just don't get it. They probably never will get it. Anyways I expect Wilder to keep being undefeated for a long time and knocking out every opponent. Fundamental and too the book trained boxers are just a waiting victim for him and stuck in old times with old fogey trainers.
don't know how anybody could crtiicize wilder...i mean, how many times has wilder been dropped? which of his opponents has he NOT ko'd? how many fights has he lost? the guy has a damn near perfect record and mfkers on here talking stupid shit about how he sometimes loops punches. if he was so flawed, how come nobody he has fought, including ortiz, arreola, stiverne, etc...how come NOBODY has been able to take advantage and hand him a loss?
if anything, goes to show a fighter could have flaws and still be head and shoulders above the rest of the competitiion...that makes him a great fighter, until proven otherwise.
A lot of the time Wilder hurts, or thinks he's hurt, his opponent with a straight right before going into a frenzy throwing wild punches that leave him wide open, and are usually not effective. He seems to lose a lot of his power when he startes winding up on those slapping shots as well. Wilder knows how to fight smart and stick to a gameplan when he wants too. It looked like he wanted to prove something in the Ortiz fight by fighting like that, but he came close to running into big counters more than once.
I hope he stops taking unneccessary risk in future fights. It can be frustrating to watch him box well only to see him rush in with hands down to throw looping shots in response to landing his fast straight right down the middle. He has the tools to beat anyone out there, including Joshua, but he's also in danger of getting knocked out cold by a counter flush on the chin against anyone if he keeps running inside with his hands down.
Harold Sconiers dropped him and Molina rocked him pretty bad and Ortiz was outboxing him and was up on all scorecards before he got stopped and that's including with him being knocked down in the 8th. To Wilders credit he's always gotten the job done.don't know how anybody could crtiicize wilder...i mean, how many times has wilder been dropped? which of his opponents has he NOT ko'd? how many fights has he lost? the guy has a damn near perfect record and mfkers on here talking stupid shit about how he sometimes loops punches. if he was so flawed, how come nobody he has fought, including ortiz, arreola, stiverne, etc...how come NOBODY has been able to take advantage and hand him a loss?

Absolutely agree. When he loses I think it will be by a counter with him going full windmill. Joshua nearly fcked up against Wlad thinking he was badly hurt in the 5th round of their fight when he wasn't. If Wilder makes the same mistake and starts windmilling, he'll get KOd
TBF, he only goes into super spaz mode when he thinks he's got his opponent hurt.

Most boxers have impressive reaches relative to their heights.
AJ is winning this on points.
