Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: I Did My Best, But It Wasn't Good Enough

[eco1]

I can’t understand for the life of me why Wilder insisted on submitting to the clinches. Use your damn reach man. Fury’s the bigger man and more skilled on the inside. Fury wins on the inside every, single, time. The 1st rd when Wilder was throwing to Fury’s fluffy tummy was beautiful. If he kept with that more, maybe Fury wouldn’t have the energy on the inside.

I wanna know what was said in the corner, cuz if I’m in Wilders corner, I’m telling him to keep your distance and stay away from the clinches. 1-2 to the body from the outside.

The way Wilder was doing it says a lot about your knowledge of boxing.
Fury or anyone else would have timed him up. He was leaving his head open to a counter and that was a KO waiting to happen.

I feel bad for Wilder in a sense. His handlers obviously thought they were playing a masterstroke in 2018, they saw a fat, out of shape, pillow fisted cokehead who looked like **** against Seferi and Pianeta after spending almost 3 years at home eating cheeseburgers. They thought they were going to put the guy on the highlight reel and Wilder would be able to go around calling himself the real lineal champ etc etc. In the end they badly miscalculated things and its turned into a 3 year long nightmare for them. Getting ****** into the 2nd fight because they were heartened by the KDs in the first and thought Wilder would get 12 rounds to headhunt again without worrying about return fire, only to get battered 10x worse than the first fight, then the 3rd fight had to happen simply because there was no way Wilder could move on otherwise, and that ****ed up for him too. All of this from an attempted cherry pick designed to get them more leverage in the posturing and negotiations over the fight people really wanted ie him vs AJ. Of course AJ is probably ****ed now too with Usyk. This is why you dont marinate forever.

excellent post - spot on! My thoughts exactly! Haymon really underestimated Fury and Wilder paid the price. Would have been 3 beatdowns if Fury wouldn’t have chosen to box in the 1st…probably no 3rd fight.

Props to both fighters!

Actually no, zero props to Wilder!! No amount of ‘heart’ is going to offset that post-second fight crap! Excuse after excuse, after excuse! Well, he’s had those excuses hammered out of him! The blueprint is now out there.

I’m not one to gloat but there’s a certain satisfaction knowing the Wilder fan girls are crying like babies!!

exactly! Thats what Wacky Wilder will b remembered for - getting beatdown twice and losing 3 times to a Fat Gypsy, all the ridiculous outlandish excuses, and the protected padded record! Btw - where is “champion 4ever”?

Joshua offered Wilder 100 million and Wilder turned it down to fight what he thought was an out of shape burned out junky. As it turned out, that out of shape junky was someone Wilder shouldn't have ***ed with.

So far Wilder fought a long list of cans, a guy in his 40s and Fury, a guy that was supposed to be easy but instead beat his ass for 30 rounds and knocked him out twice. Wilder hasn't fought anyone as good as Ruiz, Wyhte, Parker, Usyk, or Joshua because he simply doesn't want to and never did.

Fury is something different no doubt but that doesn't change the fact he's a recorded steroid user and he's a cheat at the end of the day.

Yes he won tonight and he's a better boxer but at the end of the day it didn't matter what Wilder did or does he's the type of black person that won't be liked by we know who because of he's a proud black man, it's not about the excuses from the last fight it's the same reason AJ doesn't step in those hot button topics.


Lastly can you stop with the Wilder turned down 100 million bs this is out of the mouth of John Skipper DAZN Executive chairman

“In retrospect, I was too brash going in there without creating the relationships I needed to create with the people who advised Deontay Wilder. I have now worked to do that. It has to do with going back to the education I needed before getting into boxing … When we left that (Wilder) meeting, I KNEW WE MESSED UP and that we weren’t going to be successful (Wilder)

John Skipper went on to say QUOTE:
“We were IMPATIENT, and after having some early success, we wanted to MOVE QUICKLY. Now I understand that I’ve got to work relationships, work within a framework and understand other peoples’ self-interests and needs as well … If I had to do it again, I’d have gone in and said, ‘I’m playing the long game.’ I’m playing the long game with Canelo and GGG, too.”.

End of the fight Wilder left ear again was bleeding profusely same as the 2nd fight.

must have been those egg-weights Fury saved from the 2nd beatdown!

[RossW]

Dubois is dire! Totally outclassed by Joyce, who won the fight with the jab.

The only reason you survived 10 rounds was Fury was never a big puncher.

If you were there with Dubois or any other young lion, your brain would be on the moon now.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

I really that all the people on this board who use to call wilder a bum now have a change of thoughts. Wilder and fury both showed balls, courage and heart. I know wilder is not the most technical fighter but that doesn’t make you a bum. They both have a better chin, more heart than AJ which is why Aj in my opinion wouldn’t beat either of them. My guess now is Wilder will retire.

Wilder was protected and allowed to pad his record with all the “voluntary” defenses against cans the wbc allowed. Only good win against a legit top 10 fighter was against the old cuban senior citizen Ortiz. Take that away and his record is garbage! Losing literally 26 out of 30 rds to Fat Fury is no great accomplishment. And AJ - guess u missed his fights with Wlad and Whyte…showed alot of heart and balls.

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Fury has skill with out a doubt, but his weight won him this fight. If Fury was lighter he would have lost, not because Wilder is more skillful, but because he would not be able to take Wilders punches, and Fury's punches would have been far less affective. Back in the day Fury would have been a super heavyweight fighting against the likes of butter bean. Ever since I saw how Canelo would swell up multiple weight classes, I have said that there has to be a weight gain limit, and that should also apply to heavyweights. Out weighing your opponent by 40 to 50lbs is not only an unfair advantage it is also dangerous. Credit to Fury for the win, credit to Wilder for fighting his heart out. But based on what happened last night, if Fury was with in 15 to 20 lbs of Wilder, I suspect we would be having a completely different conversation this morning.

[Chrismart]

Fury is just much better than him. Wilder is always dangerous, to a crazy extent, but Fury is on another tier.
Wilder only won a handful of rounds over the 3 fights, 2 of those fights were beat downs. Fury showed he could beat him using any style.

If Wilder hadn't of been so vocal about his own corner's stoppage in the 2nd fight, then the towel probably would of came in last night. He took way more punishment than he needed to. Those last 2 fight have probably taken something out of Wilder for the rest of his career.

Wilder was fine in the clinch when he kept his head up and above Fury's shoulder.

nah he wasn’t. He was getting pummeled by the overhand right and gets hit on his ear again and again.
