Comments Thread For: Colbert on Wilder: What Will He Learn From Someone He Knocked Out?

[I have no ears]

My parents told me not to answer this question when speaking to strangers online. My dad says that the internet is where a lot of perverts try to have conversations with minors, they let me come to the boxingscene to talk about boxing, but nothing more.

Stranger danger

Wilder doesn't need to change a thing. But he's extra motivated to put a serious beating on Fury, and Fury knows it. Which is why Fury tried to avoid this fight...

Wilder DOES need to change a thing. Many 'things' in fact as he's probably lost 17 out of 19 rounds.

If Fury felt the need to avoid Wilder at any point it would have been after the 1st fight, not after the 2nd where he put a severe beating on Wilder.

Is Wilder extra motivated? probably yes. Will it help him? Only if he lands his game changer - which is always possible.

On the one hand yes, strange to be trained by someone you knocked out. On the other hand, a trainer, a good one even, doesn't have to have been a good pro boxer.

Either Wilder gets the big upset win, or its the beginning of the end for the bronze bomber.

I love how armchair judges and keyboard warriors give an opinion as though they’re a lot more qualified than Colbert is on this topic. Lmao.

Good to see this lad trying to be a shepherd instead of one of the sheep. No tip toeing around broken glass for this kid. He's entitled to opinions like everyone else and clearly not afraid to give them even if it goes against the flock. And now he's turned on by many lol. But I think Chris will handle it and be just fine. I'm gonna disagree with him on the coaching as Malik Scott may be a good coach or not. An average boxer doesn't necessarily mean an average coach. However I feel Wilder is probably not improvable purely because of his attitude. That said ,keep keeping it real kid.

At this stage of his career, he isn't going to learn anything new. Not from some bum anyways, the "Not all trainers were fighters" BS is plain dumb. Facts are if Wilder is going to beat Fury he would need to see Fury on his worse day and then land that right hand. No trainer is going to teach him how to land that right hand now. The only thing that are going to teach him right now is to calm down, relax, and just box. If the KO comes then great, if it doesn't then you have a good chance of getting the belts back because you are fighting in your home country and they are desperate to have that belt back.

In 1966, an aging Georgie Benton was ko'd in 9 rounds by a young Bennie Briscoe and later on, became his trainer, so this has happened b4. But Benton turned out to be one of the best trainers that ever lived, so let's see what Malik can do with Wilder. Having said that, Fury has beaten up Malik Scott and Wilder b4, and busted both their eardrums. So they might need a sign language interpreter in their corner to help them communicate on fight night

Malik can teach wilder how to take a dive that's about it.

Lol that made me laugh.

Yeah hiring this bum was a mistake. Wilders losing again bad.

I still find it hilarious that Fury beat the $h1t out of Wilder and his trainer.
