    A Champion Fronts Up

    Where's Deontay?

    Every great champion fronted up after their defeat. They sit at the post fight press conference and they talk about the fight, praise their opponent, and vow that they'll be back stronger.

    That's what a champion does. If you're going to be full of front after your wins, then you'd better be gracious in defeat.

    So where's Deontay? Apparently not at hospital, like there would be any shame in that.

    He's always talked about his mental strength. And to be fair, he's never really shown any gaps in that area... until now.

    Has he cracked?

    I was gonna post on this but thought I'd give him time to say something.. saying that, skipping the presser and then going silent is never ever a good sign - history tells us that (Ricky Hatton, Ronda Rousey, Jeff Lacy)...

    Wilder won't ever be the same. Fury took his aura and his self respect. He's finished and probably hasn't slept since...

      Let’s give the man a chance to regroup. He took a tough loss but he can bounce back.

        This is what happens when a fraud champion loses for the first time. in his mind, he's the king and he still has the most power in heavyweight history. But in reality, he fought bums, gatekeepers and cab drivers for years while avoiding anyone with a pulse. This made him look amazing but he was going to lose as soon as he fought someone good, or even decent. It almost happened with Ortiz and Fury buried him on Saturday night. He didn't man up and talk after the fight and he hasn't spoken since, even after doing nothing but run his mouth for years. That tells me that he can't align his thoughts with his reality. AJ talked right after the loss and began working on coming back to avenge it. He took it like a man and made it right months later. Wilder is acting like a spoiled little girl right now and the third fight will basically be a funeral hahahahah

          Fairly certain Manny did none of this after getting mauled by Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn.

            And a thunderous left rip is landed, lol, but wait there is someone up the back waiving a flag feverishly uttering low blow low blow.

                He doesn't have to do that, he got in there got his a$$ kicked thats enough.

                He's probably feeling pretty down now, let the man recover jeez.

                  Everyone needs an excuse. Remember Foreman talking about Zaire? The ropes were too loose. His water was drugged... Maybe Wilder should seek out Big George for some pointers?
