Official: PBC on NBC Wilder vs Duhaupas RBR Thread

[Barcham]

Is he not supposed to? I'm not the biggest fan either, but this just sounds petty.

I think it's bad sportsmanship to over celebrate when you have beaten an opponent that no one gave the slightest chance of winning. Be happy, salute the fans, fine. But jump around like you have just won the biggest fight of your life? No, that is disrespectful in my book. Just like his mugging during the fight. I do not enjoy seeing that from ANY fighter.

Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record isn't safe with Wilder fighting cab drivers.
Very good fight tho...

Hater??? you can not be serious

Stop hating Larry. Appreciate all styles.

Vlad would catch Wilder all night. This guy could not punch..he was game and had decent skills at cutting the ring off until he started following Wilder around, but he never threw enough punches to threaten a tired and on the ropes opponent.

Obviously I would still heavily favor Wlad, but Wlad has been stopped by lesser punchers than Wilder. Similarly, Wilder has been rocked by a can or two.

Trinkets don't really mean anything~

It is about improving as a fighter and being the best you can be.

That would be the proper context.

So you are okay with Wilder holding the belt hostage so that Haymon gets to claim he has a hw champion? Shouldn't more deserving fighters get their well deserved shot? A championship belt allows a fighter bigger purses and bigger fights. It isn't just for Wilder to hold the WBC hostage and not fight mandatories, or even real contenders. Mismatches are not good for the fans either, or the opponents (how much you suppose Dupuhas made for this beating he took?).

povetkin should be next

It was an impressive performance. I don't see how you can be hyper critical of it.
