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

[Corelone]

Zombies always fold when they get backed up. Sean of the dead, Juan of the dead. What's Wilder going to do? Get an exorcism? Zombies need to work on their legs, no lateral movement.

My former girl friend who I am still friendly with commented that she felt that something was wrong with Wilder. She had seen the first fight with me, and was shocked how Fury beat him up in the second fight on Youtube. Now she was very impressed on the this fight that Fury moved so well, but I mentioned to her when we watched the fight I though he was wasting a lot of energy. And I think that would be shown to be true, as I only gave Fury the 10th rounds, and actually had the fight a draw.
I do think in that fight the knockdown may have made Fury more wary, and I think that the knockdown that Wilder suffered also had an impact on him, and even the time he went down in the same round, it should not have been a slip but a knockdown. Also in 4th or 5th, wilder was hit and the ropes seemed to save him, but I think that should have been ruled one as well.
he mentions being in retreat mode, I just don't think he really expected Fury, who had promised this, that he would be going after him, plus the weight that Fury put on him was a huge factor. It was 273, not 40 pounds that hurt Wilder. Plus he had actually put on more weight from there first fight tan Fury did. ten pounds might have been better. However, I think Fury just has his number.

He became a walking zombie in rounds 2 and 3 when Fury was getting the better of him and eating his "eraser" like it was nothing.

Deontay Wilder embodies that line in "White Men Can't Jump" when Woody Harrelson says "A black guy would rather look good first and win second"

AJ said it few days ago that Wilder isn't man enough and Wilder keeps on proving right.

Ego alone won't safe your azz, Wilder. His ego is causing him dearly. He is only trying to talk himself away from defeat instead of to sit down and reflect on how make the necessary adjustments. He has exposed himself as an unintelligent fellow. He's just making a fool of himself.

He should take a step aside cheque or what remains of his ego will get totally destroyed and if that happened I am afraid he won't survive it psychologically.

Yea, I've also noticed they prefer facade and bling-bling over substance.

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.
