That he lost muscle from not being on roids... Why would he lose muscle?

But, some people gave reasonable explanations.

I'm just thinking, WTF man, grow some muscle on those chicken legs.

hes been doing vada forever

and he did not lose 15 pounds in a year, he weighed 222 in feb last year, im no math wiz but im pretty sure thats only 8 pounds

No boxer has dropped muscle mass like this? You do realize you don't need muscle in boxing right?

If I see a fighter come in lighter, I'm very impressed and I'm wondering what he was doing in camp.

Huh? Muscle is beneficial in any sport, especially combat sports. Functional muscle, that is, because there is such a thing as excessive muscle, which can work against an athlete. It’s a well documented fact, and one I’ve experienced myself, that if you lose even a little too much muscle, you’re weakened. Wilder, being lean as it is, had very little fat reserves to lose. I can guarantee he didn’t lose just fat, but muscle as well. The question is, did he lose so much that he’s been weakened? We’ll see tonight.

Yeah I know but he weighed close to 230 a few times years ago. In total its a 15 pounds loss.

His physique looks natural either way so I don't know. Maybe he will explain later why he felt he needed less weight.

When I saw his weight I got worried he might of caught this flu bug going around.

[Luilun]

Just asking... he lost 15 pounds in one year.

From this:



To this:



Why would he lose 15 pounds on purpose?

I don't get it.

I have been writing for 3 years that he's on steroids and getting a pass when VADA can't even detect Marijuana on Wilder you know something fishy is going on

[KingTito]

It's not like losing 15lb in a year is some tremendous feat. But I imagine he wants to focus on speed, movement and stamina, which is smart. This is his toughest test. I have no problem with it.
