Here’s the reaction from the boxing world thus far:

Mostly people are impressed with him.

The opponent may not have been a world beater but he was very tough to stay in there as long as he did with that punching power coming his way.

Wilder had not boxed in ages and had two brutal surgeries before this.

As well as a last minute change of trainer only on the week of the fight.

Consider all that, he did well tonight.

His timing and speed will be much better next time, as well.

Quality shot.
