Comments Thread For: Malik Scott Reveals Wilder Broke Hand, Says Fury Was 'Greater' Than Deontay

[chepboxingking]

Lol I'm not making excuses for him homeboy but Salido DID come in overweight and repeatedly used his balls as a speedbag! Losing to Salido in your second professional fight is nothing to sneeze at though,salido was one bad ass fighter himself.

I'm just not a fan of the "good ole eye" test,solely, to anoint one fighter better than another as that test as failed many a boxers and fans...just ask our very own Larry. Resumes over "eye test" all day long.

Ooh no, don't get me wrong, I 100% agree with you. Hate when the "experts" use the eye test solely to judge a fighter's worth. I personally think that your accomplishments matters much more than your potential. Just mentioning the "eye test" because most use it to some extent when putting together a P4P list.

Never put a list together myself, but if I did, I would probably have a hard time leaving GGG and Loma both in top 10 and would move Jamal Charlo way up.

I personally think Usyk is all wrong for Wilder.

[chepboxingking]

No he shouldn’t have tried to transform himself overnight and I’m not suggesting it. But if being who he is is all we can say for him, it’s damning with faint praise in my view.

not so much a good account of himself - he had over a year to prepare and showed basically no improvement except for the first round. It’s at best an accurate account of his short comings.

Most believe this will go down in history as a classic fight, yet you think one of the fighters who participated in this HISTORIC CLASSIC FIGHT, somehow didn't hold a good account for himself? Lol wouldn't be such a classic if one guy stunk up the place. Lets agree to disagree

I don't think any glove is going to make the difference with the way he throws punches. It's the awkward angles and the way he throws punches that lead to him breaking his hand/arm all the time, this is nothing new. This isn't something from sustained punching it's something that probably happened on a couple particular punches he threw that landed awkwardly or on top of Fury's head.

Yeah. I don't disagree that he has bad technique. But what I know is that he used to use Everlast MX gloves, but after breaking his hand, he switched to Everlast Powerlock gloves. He did that to give his hands extra protection.

You have to put some respect on both fighters names after last night and fhsfs me saying it..i haven't ever supported a fighter with murky drug stuff but ill give fury his roses for last night and ill definitely give wilder a whole lot of respect for the heart of a champion he showed.

[champion4ever]

Just as I had predicted. The dumbass decided to switch to a less protective glove at the last minute, which only provides less protection to his hands, not more concussive power. He can only blame himself for his bad decision making. He knew why he switched gloves a long time ago. Because his hands can't handle punching as hard as he does. This better not be an excuse for why he lost. It was his own fault.

It's easy to second guess now because hindsight is 20/20. However, You are missing the point. Did he have much of a choice here? He was only trying to even out the playing field with Fury's puncher's gloves and the commission approved.

[Bob]

Wilder, just wait for the excuses to flow. He chose to swap his gloves from the he gloves that had been protecting his hands? Switching back to the ones he's already broke his hand wearing?
That's a special kinda special

Otherwise I got Fury same tactics against Usyk.
Usyk to slick for Wilder & Aj 2.
Fury Whyte will be like 2 giant wulrus battering each other.
Aj Wilder? Battle of the hypejob duck loosers, or to late already if they don't duck.
Joyce & Sanchez knocking on the door.
Hrgovic I give up.
Ruiz Ortiz meh!
Not a bad top 8 now Ajs pensioned off all the past it shot old men from the division.

The divisions been well & truly shook up & i love it.

Wilder “hardest puncher” in history of sport….laughable. One of the hardest…but sure Ko’d alot of cans most of his career.

[Bronx777]

Every loss Wilder has fake always undocumented injury now broken hand or finger or knuckle x ray would show which also past claims both hands both biceps reconstructed never documented never arm in harness why does he get a pass when real tragic injuries too common

[powershots]

Excuses excuses! Nothing was mentioned last night by anybody from his camp for a injured hand. The only ones that mentioned something were the commentators. They probably re watched the fight and heard the commentators mentioning something about it. Wilder was very close to winning but his strength and conditioning is off. He is too heavy and his body can metabolize
