Fight Prediction
Wilder is 39 years old and has lost four of his last five fights. It is extremely unlikely that he will ever return to world title contention. Yet, here he is attempting to get back to winning ways and to potentially set up a high profile fight. While Wilder is past his best days, Herndon is not someone who inspires much confidence in his abilities.
Herndon was the first opponent Efe Ajagba faced as a professional. That fight saw the American get knocked out in the opening round itself. He was also Richard Torrez Jr.’s seventh professional opponent. That fight ended via technical knockout in the second round. If Wilder is unable to stop Herndon, he should seriously call it a day as a professional boxer. Expect the former heavyweight champion to win this via stoppage in under six rounds.
