Arthur Szpilvka must be suffering from some type of memory loss because from what he recalls Deontay Wilder doesn’t hit very hard.

Here’s Szpilvka’s explanation of the Wilder KO and his lack of power:
“I wanted to get up. [I didn’t want to stay down that long], but the official told me to stay down. And I know how it might sound, but Wilder does not hit that hard. I took a few punches, but I was expecting some tremendous force in his hands. He landed a few times, but something was missing,” he told reporters in Poland.
If that’s a soft punch then I never want to get into a fight again.
