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

Keep them excuses coming champ

Tell a lie long enough, until it becomes the irrefutable truth. That's what's going on here. They want to make sure people crave for a third match. Really, it's just African American people that believe him.

There are levels to this game. Fury showed us that he is levels above Wilder. Wilder didn't just lose. He was beaten to a pulp.

I mean the guy was enjoying the taste of Wilders blood loool

No he didn’t lol. He fought like he didn’t have a heart beat!

Compare the first fight to the 2nd fight. I was saying out loud to the people I was with, “somethings wrong with him.”

I’m not saying he’s a great boxer, far from it, but he has athleticism and I would argue is the most athletic heavyweight right now. His natural athleticism and punching power has made up for his lack of boxing skill.

But we’ve seen him hurt before. We’ve seen him comeback from being hurt. He never recovered from being hurt in this match. And Fury isn’t a world beater he’s not a KO artist.

Take nothing away from Fury he did what he said he was going to do and he did what he wanted to do. He brought it to Wilder and won. And Wilders is a dumbass for wearing an unnecessary heavy costume during a ring walk. Especially not knowing how heavy it was before the ring walk.

But watch the fight. You can see he wasn’t all there. To be completely gassed by the 2nd rd, a puncher with no punching power at all, no.

He didn’t look like he always looks.

Wilder Athletic?? He’s lanky, seriously lacks footwork, and is borderline clumsy on his feet!! With the exception of his straight right he windmills almost all his punches. He came in much heavier in the 2nd fight, got forced to back up(has zero effective lateral movement) and paid the price!! Fury is by far more athletic than stiff, clumsy on his feet Wilder!!

Doesn’t want to sound like he’s making excuses- but has a never-ending list of them for BOTH Fury fights!!!

Same old story AJ said... "I can't talk about the reasons why i lost, but one day when i write my book after my career i reveal why".

Just say the truth and why you feel you lost if there was sonething going on. I get it though, as they don't disclose injuries or things they had going on before the fight because of people betting, fines and ridicule.

Boxing you gotta be at your best almost every fight. The outcome is more detrimental if you lose than lets say a team sport, because i think there's more opportunity to get back. Boxing, you could wait years to get another chance.

Either way, let's see how he responds to the next fight. Personally i think fury has his number. I think AJ would beat fury but i think wilder would beat AJ. Styles make fights as they say and those are how i figure they would play out.

Have we ever found out about this mysterious medical issue that apparently caused AJ to lose to the fat man?

Disagree, Wilder is a very athletic guy, he could probably be good at any sport. He just has no real boxing technique and relies on his right hand.

You DID look like a zombie champ! I noticed the lethargy from round 1(!), and wondered "why the listlessnesss?".....Its good youre not using your prior excuse, because wearing that CRAZY looking costume was a decision that was made by you - the "costume" looked like it was alive and ready to go back in its demon lair. NO EXCUSES this time around and hopefully Fury brings up the glove controversy in his signature DRAMATIC fashion "proving" his GLOVE isn't compromised in any way - like it was before....

You had an off night champ! You went up against a VERIFIED CHEATER in the game that this time employed TONS of holding leaning grabbing & grappling - and yet still? You didn't quit - and showed NO SIGNS of quitting! This time around Fury will hear the ref tell him to "get off" and "stop holding" much more clearly! You were almost a **** victim - Fury tried to steal your innocence with tons of witnesses present! This time if you lose - you lose fair & square - and Fury will have his FIRST legit win against you! RESPECT Champ

[jackblack008]

so no one gonna hold the coach responsible for not pointing out Wilder's faults for such a long time?

[Corelone]

Damn I miss boxing. These guys are going to be remembered for the wars we make up on these threads. AJ has fought Ruiz a thousand times and Fury hasn't stopped beating Wilder.
