5v5: Queensbury vs Matchroom - DAZN - Fight By Fight Thread

[Dakuwaqa]

Yeah but he made more of an effort when Fury knocked him down.

The stoppage/10 count was correct, it just didn't seem like he had his heart in it, even from the beginning.

Props to him though, he's been a fantastic guy to watch. Time to retire with his 7 kids now.

lol his head bounced of the canvas ffs. Dude was catching butterflies in the wilderness

He fought poorly, but he didn’t quit. Take a look at the replay and see the full-force hook that landed straight to his teeth. Then watch his body crash to the ground with his legs stiffened up. Give the man credit for having the heart to even get back on his feet after that shot.

His head also hit the canvas iirc. Once that happens, it's usually a sign that a fighter isn't going to recover.

Yeah I know. I'm being harsh. Just wanted to see more from him

I said before the fight that Wilder should instead be fighting at Bridgerweight. 215lbs vs 282lbs is just too much at the top level.

I would understand if Zhang was a gatekeeping journeyman, but he's a top HW.

Wilder may still have it in him if he actually fought guys his size.

I don't think he is into boxing any longer, let alone which weight.

If he were thinking of boxing 2-3 more years, they would have given him 2-3 tune-up fights after the loss and lack of activity to get his timing and confidence back. I think Wilder just thought he could go through one or two fights before he cashes out on the AJ fight. I guess that is why they did not fight at all waiting for that AJ deal. Just to get some retirement money before saying good bye but surely he's not into boxing any longer.

Nah, he should've gotten up, hit his chest, scream like King Kong, bounce around, and overcome his brain being physically rattled. He clearly quit.

This is pro boxing. I've never done it, but I know that if it was me, I would've gotten up and actually end up KO'ing Zhang in the very same round.

[Weebler I]

He did get up though, he beat the count? Ref waved it off

[Zelda]

Of course, his M.uslim brother just got sparked out


(I think Wilder is m.uslim)

Isn't he a Christian? I remember his talks from the Fury fights.

Oops yes you're quite right. No idea why I thought it was Wilder. I was thinking of Tank

[MeanestNiceGuy]

I know it was a heavy knockdown, but I think Wilder quit. There was no effort to get up or complaint when he was counted out. Didn't look that bothered.

Then again it was a shot from Zhang on the button, and then a totally unguarded killer shot. He still didn't look too bothered though :/

Do you realize his head smacked against the deck when he went down?

Yeah yeah I know, I said I was being harsh. Just wanted more from Deontay
