There's busy and then there's this....

yea really. 30 seconds of light work isnt exactly busyness. dunno why even have this fight when it does deontay no good at all. its not going to knock any rust off him

[-MAKAVELLI-]

This is just to keep him busy.

they might as well just have Wilder do 100 pushups in the ring...he'd have a harder time

[The Hammer]

This is a week before the fight... so it's kind of alright.

But were they really just like, you feel like fighting next week? Screw it, fight next week

Wilder said several weeks ago he would take a stay-busy fight, so they had time to find a better opponent.

- Ustinov would be willing.
- Luis Ortiz's manager said they would like to fight Wilder

Apparently they turned down Darnell "Ding-a-Ling" Wilson who was willing to take the fight.

It's a joke at this stage, if that's all you can make as a match cancel and set up a good 8 round session in the gym with good spar partners!

Its been a joke for a while, he keeps beating the same caliber guy and its past time to test the guy, he's not green 21 yrs old kid!

Yeah because blasting someone out in the first few seconds will keep him busy.

Wilder's the biggest joke in boxing.

bad management in my opinion. I have a hunch hed have faced better opponents if it was all up to him. they obviously dont have much confidence in him or they'd have tested him by now

[Hougigo]

I get stay busy fight.... but why was this just put on a week before? Freedom saying they planned one... and the best they came up with was Mike "Civic's" Sheppard?

Come on, if they planned it earlier than a week, they could've done better. Fury got Ustinov the week of his fight
