Comments Thread For: Wilder: I Felt Like A Zombie Against Fury; I Wasn't There From First Bell

[nacho daddy]

Wilder picked up boxing at the age of 20. He started boxing in 2005 and won Olympic bronze in 2008. That doesn't happen unless you have some form of athleticism bud. Think before you speak. You can sh#t on Wilder’s boxing skill cuz he’s nowhere near a complete boxer that much is clear, but don’t say he has no athleticism you’re making yourself look dumb.

He had an amateur record of something like 30-5 before turning professional. I personally know guys who had more amateur boxing experience than Wilder had. Actually, a lot more.

You don’t just pick up boxing and in 3 short years win a fu#king Olympic metal without some form of athleticism. Most of the top guys in the sport were boxing since they were little kids. 8 or 9 yrs old. Had hundreds upon hundreds of amateur bouts. Wilder had nowhere close to 100, was inexperienced, started super late in the sport, and he won an Olympic metal that most of those guys couldn’t win. But yeah. Wilders not athletic. Sure.

Bro, respectfully, you are on here and posting s**t like you are possibly giving credibility to his costume being a reason, for what?
There was nothing 'weird' going on - he got his face punched in, that's what happened.
Have you ever boxed? I have, and it is the hardest training I have ever done. Played competitive soccer and tennis, but boxing hugely more demanding, so don't come here and give me any fairy tales about a costume ring walk slowing down a heavyweight who has been training for months. Just stop, you know it is ridiculous.

Motherfu#ker, I do box! I’ve been doing it for 8 yrs now I know what I’m talking about and I know what it’s like. I know that there are a million things that can throw a fighter off. I’ve watched Wilder box and I’ve watched Fury box. It was the best performance of Fury’s career and the worst performance of Wilders career.

Bro. Seriously. Wilder started running out of gas by the 2nd and had zero pop in his punches by the 3rd rd, that is undeniable and not normal for any professional boxer. If you deny that, then I’m done responding to you. Cuz others have said it too I’m not the only one.

I’m not saying it was the costume. I’m thinking he probably didn’t train as hard as he normally would cuz he was over confident and he probably doesn’t want to admit that. Coming in heavier than be normally does. I could believe that as well, but he definitely didn’t look good.

And let’s not act like Fury is some sort of heavy handed hitter either. He is not. He’s a quick, light footed boxer. To batter Wilder like that and for Wilder to be completely out of gas well before the half way point, no. He didn’t look like his usual self.

All that said, that’s completely Wilders fault for not coming in fully prepared. As you know, it’s the boxers job to come in ready to fight and Wilder clearly wasn’t ready.

Can't accept that he got pounded. Wasn't ready for a different Fury , couldn't adapt to the longer Jab . Looking forward to more pathetic excuses from this whinner

I'll chat with you and I'll respectfully disagree with some stuff - but when people start talking like the costume excuse is real then it's over for me as far as taking that person seriously.
So...the reason you have heard people ssay Wilder wasn't himself is because he got beat up. He just looked like his normal self till the third round and that's when he got clocked.
There is no need for a conspiracy theory or an excuse or anything. He lost. He got beat up. That's it. Him and any of his fans just can't accept it so these ridiculous theories just make them feel better.
He got battered. The End.

[champion4ever]

He's right. He just wasn't himself. I personally believe that the moment was too great for him and got to him.

However, I expect Deontay Wilder's redemption in the rematch. Expect him to upset Tyson Fury by TKO. Don't be surprised Tyson Fury supporters and Wilder haters that Tyson Fury just lay down and quit this time around.

He's done it before so therefore he can easily do it again. He easily cracks under pressure.

It's just like what Wladimir said about Tyson Fury; He's, like a fart in the wind it is there and it is gone.

“In the history of boxing there are a lot of examples of this kind of guy. “They can be successful for a time but are not disciplined enough to continue to be successful.”

[b Murphington]

And this clearly isn't whhat happened this time You're not observant, you just don't understand boxing.

No you misunderstood what I meant.

I’m not saying outboxed or lost rounds specifically towards this, or any other fight, I’m saying this in general. Basically what I was getting at, is that he got through tough moments and still maintained his stamina and punching power through fights. Now, Fury being a bigger guy, yeah having a few rounds with him on you would be tough, but let’s not pretend like Fury has that kind devastating power.

For Wilders punch to be that gone that early in the fight just makes me raise eyebrows.

And no it wasn’t like it was the first KD is when he looked like sh#t, you could tell he started getting winded in the 2nd rd and the 3rd rd he looked completely done.

He just wasn’t ready for that type of fight and probably had a sh#t camp.

[Oshio]

If the 40lbs excuse is worth it salt we also need to query his training regimes or routine. It means he has no endurance and could have been easily knocked out if he had faced serious contenders before Fury

[Oshio]

It is funny how excuses can be made for Wilder and accepted and not for Joshua... That said, where do you guys get this idea from that the trilogy will happen?

Come off it folks, Fury don't defend titles. It is not in his character. The English man in him will resist it

[SN!PER]

I just hope the third fight gets the green light.

No matter the outcome, you know something crazy will go down. When Wilder and Fury step in that ring, it's always great entertainment.

wilder got zombie skills so he aint lying.
