I also found this video where Wilder says he actually broke his right ARM 12 weeks before camp and needed surgery. (Skip to 8:45):

This reminds me of ...

Deontay is truly the miracle man...breaking his hand 12 weeks out, 8 weeks later he's sent the three guys that do pad work with him to an Alabama hospital...not to mention a poor fella inside a mascot costume, and all with a jab.

If this is true.. Please stop Wilder. Like I've said before I'm a Wilder fan. Heck I even favored him to win. But I have to be a realist and admit that the man lost fair and square. He was outclassed. And who was surprised by his knockdowns? That's what we all expected. The most surprising thing was Fury getting up from those knockdowns and boxing his butt off to win a decision. Unfortunately on paper the judges pulled off a robbery but we all know Fury showed his class this Saturday. It's OK. Wilder doesn't need to make any excuses. He lost to a great fighter and he can come back. It's boxing. But excuses make you look bad.

Not just a broken hand, he said his right arm was broken and he had to have surgery from the hand to the elbow. During the press conference he said that his elbow started bothering him during the fight.

and he broke his back...

[LetOutTheCage]

Excuses to save face after that beating he took, not buying it.

Yeah I was going to mention the Tyson interview where he's talking about breaking his back...first thing I thought of.


It's getting a bit silly all the excuses and damage limitation...Deontay, you laid your balls on the table, nobody thought you were Ray Robinson...take the result and make lemonade, not bitter lemon.

So now we know why fury won so convincingly and made wilder look amatuerish

Or, I thought he had a flue (or smth), but now it's a broken hand? Pathetic...
