Wilder was running from aj as soon as breazeale hit the mat

SilkyFlow7y ago

Ortiz stepped into the ring in full knowledge that a deal had already been done. And what gave it away for me was when English Sky Sports commentators asked him If he would attend AJ's fight against Ruiz and what happened? After all the big talk and macho man antics, DEONTAY STARTED STUTTERING!!.."Errrr I may have others plans so I don't know. I have a schedule I need to see to so I doubt it"..oh yes you have a "schedule" alright Deontay...one that involves RUNNING SHOES and a fat, elderly Cuban you already beat. SMH this news should officially put to bed any arguments about who's ducking who. Deontay knows AJ has the power to put his ass to sleep, which is why he's been more than happy to fight a pillow puncher like Fury and an old man like Ortiz who was never a one punch KO type of guy and doesn't have that sting anymore which is why he failed drug tests. This is a disgrace.

Wilder fans will never admit he's at fault because this isn't about Wilder against Joshua for them it's about America against Britain. Because of that excuses will be made for Wilder ducking for a long time.

AJ "show me 50 mil and ill sign tomorrow" -is shown 50 mil- "sorry its gotta be in the UK for the fans" -fights in america hearn "fighting wilder is a huge gamble"....hearn "i told aj that ruiz is very very dangerous"- they consider a fringe top 10 guy very dangerous while wilder has fought ortiz and fury who are both top 5 guys in the last 1.5 years and dropped them 5x AJ "i hope i can say breazeale lasted longer with wilder than he did with me"...whoooopps

You don't need to look too far on this one. Ortiz was in the ring after the fight. Ortiz was always next. The last hope was that maybe they'd meet with AJs team after the Ruiz fight. At least find out what another offer might look like. But he's announced a few days prior to the fight. He's not even entertaining a conversation about the fight. We don't need to debate it. He's doing his thing. He's not chasing Joshua. He's not even willing to talk to Joshua's team. He has no interest in Anthony Joshua. I think realism is starting to hit the Wilder fans, cause there is really no excuses for this now. The curtain has been pulled back and all we're seeing is an Alabama tough guy In a big old duck suit.

Fury will get AJ before wilder.Theres a damn good chance wilder loses before he ever gets in with either one.
