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

[Simurgh]

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.

Nah, Tyson beats AJ and AJ beats Wilder. Styles make fights, but in this case it is pretty clear

Tyson>>AJ>Wilder

Talking in the third person is often a sign of delusion.

[DaNeutral.]

You felt like a zombie and now you sound like a furking idiot. But then he is a furking idiot.

Excuse squad till this day.

Spot on.
That's a great quote.

I agree. Wilder looked drugged that night. Wilder has always recovered from being hurt. since when did Fury turn into George Foreman? very weird how Wilder never recovered from being hurt ONCE.

So you're saying Wilder was drugged?

You think Fury employed someone to RoHypnol Wilder in some sort of James Bond type sting?

Wtf are you smoking? Wilder wasn't drugged but you obviously are....

The Bronze bomber turned into a zombie?

Footwork. Punching. That’s technique. See my post from before. He started boxing at 20. Had like 30 amateur bouts, which is equivalent to nothing, and won an Olympic metal. That’s athleticism. Because we all know he can’t box. We know this. So how is Wilder getting by? His athletics.

It isn’t possible to box for 3 yrs and win an Olympic metal unless you have a little bit of athletic. End of story. Done.

Can he box? No. He never really learned and at this point, he probably isn’t going to. He relied too heavily on his power and now that’s all he’s got. Boxers aren’t born they’re made. So what has he been getting by on? Athleticism.

And you hate on Wilder being a POS. What about Fury? Going on a huge rant saying ***s rule the world, bashing ******** and h0m0sexuals? He said if he beat Wilder he was gonna go on a ******* binge and **** some hookers. “I go for the cheap $30 ones. Make sure you double bag up.” Yeah Fury sounds like a great guy doesn’t he?

You act like Wilders the first boxer to say something outlandish or act out.

Fury is a moron too mate, and has some ugly points of view - I don't know why people are so enamoured of him. I guess he does have some redeeming features. He's more honest than Wilder, and doesn't duck like Wilder (though we will see if he avoids AJ after giving Deontay another beatdown).
I just tell it like it is pal. I love American boxers, Mexican, British black, white, latino, and I don't buy into hype, I don't get taken in by shill commentators (Kellerman, Ward, Lewis) and I dislike racism and loudmouths with no humility.
So I like AJ, he is real, humble, talented and entertaining in the ring, and will fight anyone, has shown that. I do not mind his out of the ring interviews and the way he handles himself. I don't need a spittle spraying 'BOMB SQUAD' scream to get me up for a fight, or a batman costume or anything like that.
In short, I am a boxing fan, not a WWE fan.

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.

He looked different purely because Fury had already destroyed him mentally.
He was mentally wounded in the first fight and was so shaken up by Fury he refused to attend press conferences in the run up to the second.
Fury is like a virus in Wilder"s head, he plays and toys with him at will and Wilder doesn't have a clue as to what is going on.

Fury is playing mind games (such as carrying extra weight to the weigh in) and Wilder is second guessing his every move.
As Ben said, Wilder saw round 1 of the second fight as round 11 of the first and when Fury came at him, all the doubt and fears seeded in their first encounter rose to the surface.

Fury owns a piece of Wilders soul, he is Fury's puppet now.
