“I see me beating him up and then knocking him out.
“There’s many things I visualized in the first fight along with the second and I didn’t execute game plan but this time around it’s just a different feeling you know, all the way around, just all the surrounding around me, the atmosphere, just the energy as a whole and I’m looking forward to putting on a great performance come October the 9th.
“Those that are going to be in the arena are going to feel the electricity that’s in there and those that can’t make it, don’t be afraid to click that button on Fox pay-per-view baby,” said Deontay Wilder.
Deontay Wilder is so much more than a knockout specialist
What most often ignore and overlook about Deontay Wilder’s career is his 40 previous wins before Tyson Fury stepped into the picture. The only two blemishes on his otherwise clean record stem from Fury’s impressive efforts in the first two fights.

He currently holds one of the best knockout rates heavyweight division; many fans and experts think the 35-year-old is only capable of throwing haymakers and knocking out opponents. The common belief is that he does not possess the pugilistic finesse that Tyson Fury usually shows in his fluid movement, footwork, and defense.
However, what most forget is that he had an amateur career of 24 wins and 6 losses. As an amateur, none of his wins came by way of knockout; most of his wins came by PTS and some by decision.

Yes, he has almost always used his right hand to his advantage; however, there is a lot that goes behind setting up that ‘big right hand’. He often starts off by creating and maintaining distance, uses his jab to extend that gap, and then slips into the pocket and fires off his heavy cross punch that drops opponents 9 times out of 10.
Saying that Deontay Wilder knows nothing beyond KOs might not be a fair assessment of his true capabilities; no average KO artist can simply drop Luis Ortiz in round 10.
