Comments Thread For: Wilder Admits Struggle To Move Past Povetkin Fallout, Depression

[bojangles1987]

I rolled my eyes at the "depression" thing at first but then took a minute to think about how I'd feel if I went out of the country to train, spent the money on hiring camp and crew, and flying them around the world, devoted 2-3 months out of my fking life for the most challenging test of my career and this POS drug cheat fks it all up. Not to mention a several million dollar payday. Even if he sues, he still doesn't make all that money back.

Yea, I'd be a bit depressed too. So would you. As long as he pulls it back together, that's what matters.

Yeah, there has to be some kind of natural depression when you're trying to amp yourself up for the biggest fight of your career, only to have it fall through the week of, when his intensity and readiness would have been at its peak. It's unavoidable. We've all felt the same at some point.

I can understand him being 'disappointed'.

Maybe the term 'depression' is being thrown about about too easily by Wilder.

Its all part of being a professional at the end of the day.

The upside is that he can add another bum to his resume instead of getting robbed in Russia, or KTFO.

You know why he is depressed? Because the guilt of him having a role in this setup scam on Povetkin is starting to eat away at his soul. He's knows this is a HUGE bitch-made move and he was a sucker for letting people around him convince him to participate.

You sure like your conspiracy theories don't you? I suppose you post on infowars.com & believe that we're all secretly ruled by the lizard people.

Laughable.

I'm pretty sure that any of you here posting crap would be pretty depressed if you just watched 4.6 million go out the door because of someone else's mistake. What happens if he gets beat by Arreola. He may never seen another purse like that. A lot of posters here defending Povetkin is pretty pathetic...

Just heard on sports radio the decision if the Russian team will be allowed in the olympics. Russian secret service trying to intimidate WADA members, etc. They are so corrupt & shady. These tactics are the only reason Povetkin decision is still under investigation. The russian mob & secret service are trying to bully WADA. It's time to step up & shut them down. The russians gave it away after Rocky 4. It has been proven that all Russian athletes are dirty cheaters. At the end of the day they always get caught...

The drug should've been made not for use in pro sports or sports period when the function of what it does was made clear and still somehow was ok for use over there is complete horse****!!

Difference is one guy did his time and I even said Ortiz should've been banned for years, right along with Povetkin, Guillermo Jones, Mosley,Margarito and etc.!!!!

The guy was caught and still claiming innocence!! I was hoping they allowed the fight so Wilder can punish the cheat since I had money on Povetkin!!

It's why I said Ortiz (a man who did his time) should be VADA tested!

Both guys are cheaters and IMO which makes guys like Stiverne and Arreola look better for not depending on that ****!

people posted thousands of threads about vitamin c, but for some reason are looking for every excuse in the book for pov... smh

Bull****. He keeps trying to sell the duck, like a politician saying "It was with much consideration and reluctance that I accepted this 5 million dollar donation from wall street, because I think I can help the people by giving them hope by seeing their fellow American live in a nice mansion!"

Yes, Wilder ducked so reluctantly, and is so depressed about ducking... Can't you all tell?

Boo****e!

wilder is depressed cause people are finding out he is a fraud

[nacho daddy]

Why even make the bolded an argument, my friend? It's not worth it.

Nandrolone, the drug Ortiz was busted for, is a natural horse hormone and was injected into horses to aid in recovery (sound familiar?). And it wasn't illegal because well, no one knew that athletes were using it. Once that was discovered, it was classified as a performance enhancer.

Same thing with this meldonium. Perfectly legal until they discovered athletes were using it for their own recovery and definitely not for some heart condition they had.

Who cares if it was only considered illegal recently? They were all hiding their use until they got caught and when your team admits that you had been using it without anyone's knowledge before it was considered illegal, I think people are well within reason to think you were a long-time cheater.

I see wilder saying he will go to cuba to fight Ortiz then haymon pays off vada again so Ortiz tests "positive" fight canceled and wilder tries again to get full pay. I said HW's will be a circus and a disaster after the Klit bros were gone and it is

I feel embarrassed for you just reading that. If you feel that way, keep it a secret.
