Comments Thread For: Breland Was Looking Out For Deontay Wilder's Best Interests

Your simplistic point of view makes it obvious
that you've never stepped in a ring, painfully obvious.

Breland stopped the fight at a ****** point. This is just fact. Wilder wasn't taking much in the corner at all. He doesn't deserve to be sacked tho.

Obviously. If something happened to Wilder’s brain, the corner would’ve been one of the one’s to blame. But primarily it would’ve been on the ref and the NSAC. Wilder should be thanking Breland instead of being upset at him.

It was a frightful beating wilder took....I question his skill set and seriously question his boxing iq but one thing I don’t question is his courage or his chin. The man took a frightful beating by a man who had 43lbs on him.....that’s literally like a jr lightweight taking on w light heavyweight

Wilder should have been used to the 43 pounds on him with all that exercise he got wearing the Halloween costume to the ring.

Frankly...Jay Deas views Wilder like a horse, a hunk of meat, train em, make money and burn them out. Difference is that Mark Breland has been that horse. Throwing Mark under the bus is a way to blame someone else and get Wilder back in the ring for another pay day for the promoter, Haymon and Jay...period. If people can't see that it's because they don't want to. Wilder was helpless, without Breland there would be no trilogy.

Facts........

You are either Jay Deas’s boyfriend or his ex girlfriend. Seems like you go to the same seminars Wilder goes to

Go back and re-watch Stevenson's fight Gvozdyk, a guy similar to Fury, a light puncher that could box.

i get the whole protect the fighter at all cost but when the fight was stopped, wilder wasnt even taking all that much damage... yes i agreed that fury would have stopped wilder regardless but when the fight was stopped, wilder wasnt in that much trouble. i would have like for the fight to go on a lil longer.

Wilder was getting nailed and didn't throw anything back. A 6'9", 273lb Fury was unloading power shots with mean intentions. For Wilder to be angry at Breland for stopping it, saying he wanted to go out on his shield is just silly. If he had taken a few more big shots, he would likely have gone out on a stretcher.

Wilder was beat up, period. All this fight did was reinforce that tyson fury clearly won the 1st fight and this time, he made sure everyone can see the difference in their skill level. And the 3rd fight will see fury even better and sharper, with wilder still being strong yet unpolished. He can't ever get polished because he has jay deas as a head coach- a man who can't teach what he doesn't know, and that's boxing. wilder has been winning on sheer power despite jay deas, not because of him. All wilder has been doing is practicing bad habits for years and getting away with it

Emotions aside for one moment..

Nobody disputes that in each consecutive round Wilder became more fatigued, trapped on the ropes and hit more cleanly. I don't think anyone can argue that.

By the 6th Wilder's right hand simply didn't have enough to back Fury off. I think everyone can also agree on that because that's what we all witnessed. Wilder connected and Fury kept pilling on the damage.

By the 7th round the fight was going in one direction with one near certain conclusion.
Drawing upon experience Breland felt there was nowhere for the fight to go and stopped it. The real question is why should he allow Wilder to accumulate more damage? Keep in mind that it's not the one punch that does the long term damage but the accumulation. All you need to do is look back at Stevenson vs Gvozdyk, another guy not known for his power. It was the the accumulation that caused Stevenson's brain to swell and put him in a coma.

With that in mind, Mark Breland was left with what many consider the unenviable task of stopping the fight because nobody else dared to save Wilder from his pride.

It was Mark Breland not Jay Deas that saved Wilder and salvaged any prospect of a 3rd and final fight.

If you really need to find a scapegoat... look no further then Jay Deas. Jay (head trainer) lacks the honestly, conviction and courage to tell Wilder what he needs to hear. Jay is an ass kissing opportunist so don't expect him to look out for anyone but Jay. The fact that Jay is distancing himself from the guy he brought in for his boxing expertise is just further proof of Jay's cowardice nature.

Fantastic article. Some of the best written material I’ve seen here. Bravo.

As for Breland, Wilder needs to take him back. You want people who care about you, not people who would sooner see you die than get fired.
