CBS/BS/SHO showing this clown down everyone's throat as if his little mismatch was on SHO...
Yes, Hilarious is there just to make the clown look good.

The article opens with: "Uneasy is the head that wears a crown, William Shakespeare once famously wrote"

If you want to paraphrase Shakespeare, that's fine, but you can't then claim he "famously" wrote your paraphrase. The celebrated line is: Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

No matter what Wilder says, his endurance was a serious problem in the second and third Fury fights. He has about four rounds in him at a decent pace before he starts to look seriously fatigued. His heart carried him through to the mid rounds, but there can be no expectation that this aspect is improving with age. Obviously in Wilder's favour is that Helenius is even older and has never been elite.

It appears as though Wilder has been working on conditioning and stamina, when he should be learning how to box. He needs a real boxing trainer.

Dude is 37 soon, it's too late to learn boxing after being windmill for his whole career

At 212-215 he had no problems going 12 rounds but in his last 2 fights against Fury he was in the 230s & gassed early… A lighter, quicker Wilder I think is better & he still had the power. Not sure at his age if he would even try to lose it.

He was probably thinking to Robbie Shakespeare, he of the Sly & Robbie duo

Seriously, nothing is worse for a writer than using illustrious quotes without checking them first.

seems like theres more pressure because if he loses to Helenius (which would likely be by KO) then he has to retire or became a journeyman level guy and likely get KO'd a bunch more times.

It happens to pretty much all KO artists. When they get old and can`t pull the trigger anymore, they become KO victims.

I think a lot of that was because fury rightly targeted the overhand right to wilders left ear when wilder foolishly retreats to the ropes. It killed wilder’s balance in both the 2nd and 3rd fights. After those punches landed wilder fought on heart alone
