Official: Wilder says he is exercising rematch clause / explains defeat and stoppage

[NaijaD]

Yeah, Breland did the right thing.

If Wilder needs to get rid of anyone, it’s Jay Deas, especially in a training capacity anyway and working the corner. Maybe keep him there to oversee how the camp is being run, i don’t know.

The guy always strikes me as clueless from a technical aspect and not living in reality about Wilder’s abilities and flaws. I’m not knocking what he’s probably done for Wilder’s life and career but this is top level boxing.

He would’ve let Wilder take a sustained beating and probably end his career.

I absolutely agree with you, Deas looks like the ultimate yes man pretending to be a head trainer. I don't recall him giving Wilder any functional advice in the corner and the fact that he couldn't see that Wilder was finished is really worrying.

There were calls for AJ to get rid of McCrakken after he lost, there should be an even bigger outcry for Wilder to replace Deas. I doubt he will because Wilder, being a pathological liar, has always had a difficult relationship with the truth and reality in general. He'll let his yes men convince him that he lost because he had a bad leg and got hit on the "back of head" with a punch that damaged his ear.

[Chunk..]

The LDBC do Wilder no favours. Always patting him on the arse and telling him everything's alright. Wilder really needs to cut ties with these idiots.

[DaNeutral.]

Lol wilders excuses are even funnier than his excuses for the 1st a fury fight. He got twatted good and proper it's no more complicated than that really.

You can't move forward and improve if you ain't willing to acknowledge your short falls. You blame everything else then you are not going to get any better.

- he is activating rematch clause
- Stoppage too early
- mad at mark breland / he was told to throw towel in by someone from kronk gym
- illegal blows by tyson fury
- he should not have been pacing around dressing room
- costume affected his performance

My thoughts on each point are:

1. Wilder is a brave man if he is willing to go straight into a third fight after losing so decisively

2. I'm sure that most fighters feel that way after getting stopped but I think it was a good stoppage. Wilder was essentially out on his feet and his body language wasn't good

3. It's better for Wilder to be mad at Mark Breland for throwing in the towel than for everyone else to be mad at Breland for letting the fight go on too long.

4. The first knockdown looked like a borderline shot behind the ear to me; It didn't look like a blatant rabbit punch or anything.

5. Nothing much to say about the pacing. You live and you learn I guess

6. I guess he should ditch the elaborate costumes from now on

Fury did what Canelo did to triple flop. He stood his ground and punchd the bully in da mouth. Canelo is the true king of England

Wilder is too dumb to understand the situation he is in. He honestly thinks he can will a KO victory into happening. Someone better give him a reality check before Fury does. This is going to be brutal and I absolutely do not want to see it. Fury should consider vacating the belt and fighting Joshua. He’d be regarded as someone who saved Wilder from himself while saving a lot of money because no one is buying a third fight.

You brought up the elephant in the room - "no one is buying a third fight". If they go through with the third fight their paydays will be a fraction of what they were for fight two. Wilder's star has descended.

Sounds like breland will be fired.

It was the mask. He couldn't breathe. He hyperventilated. Robbed of oxygen. When the fight started, he was lightheaded,
and the blood couldn't get to his legs.

Nah.
