As a American wilder fan.....

[Sid-Knee]

I Must say I am embarrassed and went on many rants defending him saying Joshua was scared but after the announcement of his rematch with Ortiz it is clear as day that he was the one ducking all along.

I didn’t want to believe it but after that post fight interview with Breazeale I knew he wanted no parts of Joshua and wanted to prolong it for as long as possible.

Also is anybody even interested in seeing the rematch? Yes the 1st was a good fight but he knocked Ortiz out move on to the fight with Joshua there is no controversy there.

Lastly everybody is chinny at heavy weight. I can totally see wilder(mainly wilder) or Joshua getting knocked out messing up their huge pay day before they get to each other.

Thankyou for being so honest. That's all any boxing fan can wish for.

Can't say the same for some of the others. They're far too gone at this point.

Yea he did a total turn about. I don’t see how people are saying they want to see this fight right now when Joshua if victorious would be available for negotiations next week.

as others noted...wilder chased the fight for months...only to be rebuffed

in about a years time he will go from big time b-side to a guy thats going to command 50 percent of it.....wilder is doing something right.....you can only take so much of hearns BS

hearn himself told him to "go build your profile"....so now wilder has told him he wont fight AJ this year and hes building his profile just like hearn said to....and now hearn is flapping his gums when wilder told him straight up he aint even thinking about him this year

its hilarious to watch people fall for eddies BS....hes only talking about it now because he knows wilder wont even consider him right now.....hearns own lips "go build your profile and make the fight bigger"...which is exaclty what wilder is trying to do.....wilder is increasing his stance every time out....hes going to end up getting 50+ mil if he keeps winning and keeps that belt.....

As a British fan

I want to apologize to the American fans for this fake yank thread and I must say I'm embarrassed by it

Cheers

You wish you were British.

They moved on to what? To fight a fighter he knocked out allready?

How often have you seen a fighter sign another fight just under two weeks after his last fight. He didn’t even give negotiations a chance to begin.

Facts. Joshua is set to fight this weekend and wilder signs a contract Tuesday night effectively making Joshua negetations irrelevant. It's not cioncidental

[SN!PER]

Hearn tried to get Ortiz as a replacement for Miller on June 1st. He gave high praise to King Kong, admitting that it would be a better fight than Miller! Then when Ortiz turned him down he threw the insults again. When Joshua wanted Ortiz, you called him a killer, but now that Wilder is fighting him, he's a nobody.

Chased? The second he wants the fight they can make it.

His handlers know Joshua likely beats him so they want to hold the belt as long as possible to max what they can earn from him before the big cash-out.

Without that strap, he's back to fighting bums and they know it.

He wanted the fight and they ran to DAZN. You left that little known fact out.

That’s their position and I never said I agree with the moving on part. I’m just trying to be practical this go around and I’m not getting my hopes up.

FACT

wilder had already told hearn and company he wasnt thinking about him thi year

FACT

hearn was told that team wilder wouldnt consider them the rest of the year....and began flapping his gums about them and how he hopes "we can make a fight this year...i still have hope"...must be nice but wilder sticks to his guns....must be nice to run your lips about wanting a fight when the other guy said he aint fuggin with you the rest of the year! very bold by hearn!

when wilder said "ok ill take your 12.5 but youve got to make the date for 2018"...what did hearn do? left it blank and when wilders team said "oh wheres the date"...."oh it prob april 2019"....LOL

THE AJ fans claim he just fights bums anyway even with the strap...theyve done said ortiz is garbage for over a year now....they said fury was fat and never the same.....it wouldnt matter

they also say wilder makes no money...they say nobody watches him....and they say that he sells no tickets

so what exactly are his handlers holding out for and protecting according to the logic of the very same AJ fans?
