Deontay Wilder in camp back in August

[REDEEMER]

Everybody forgets he won a bronze medal in the Olympics. That's not exactly something they give to just anybody.

Actually they somewhat do..

Wilder never defeated anyone to earn a third spot it was called a consolation Prize in that year ...

“Like other Olympic combat sports, two bronze medals are awarded; in the case of boxing, both losing semi-finalists receive a bronze medal, with no further play-off. As a result, the quarter-final essentially equates to a bronze medal match, a semi-final to a silver medal match, and the final to a gold medal match. 44 medals are therefore available, 22 of which are bronze medals”

Had he lost in the fight he won he still receives a bronze medal .

The 2008 Olympics were not very strong at heavyweight , unlike the super heavyweight at that time . The two guys he defeated were not of a high caliber level so you can say he lucked out but good accomplishment going into it .

Pretty much this.

Wilder won't throw the jab even if it is his only other punch because compared to Fury, his jab is very basic. Fury was eating him alive with counters and jabbing first, its a slow excruciating death to have Fury jab your face off for 12 rounds, so he'd rather swing for the fences.

His 1-2 just isn't good enough. It isn't fast and crisp enough, Fury will see it coming and counter it or get out of the way every time. He doesn't put much behind it and he doesn't throw it from different angles and looks.

Right, but Fury took steroids so he's basically Lance Armstrong hahahaha

"Champ just called me"..

I know Fury offered his towel man a job but didn't know he also offered sweeping up duties to one of his ego stroking buddies..

December. Spence-Garcia just got announced for Nov 21.

I'd say Dec 19th.

Yea PBC does tend to push things out so you might be right but idk that's a long ass camp, 4 months.

Not to mention the week before Christmas seems like a bad date for a trilogy fight of a uncompetitive rematch & just in general + during a pandemic.

Unless it moves to Jan.
But PBC is stacked for the Fall.

A tweet from close teammate Tay Jones confirming Wilder will be back in camp for the rematch August 15th. He did delete the tweet later but I managed to screenshot it.

Why was he not training before August 15th? Sorry no, this is not good enough.

He had surgery

Wilder needs to work on feints, if he can disguise his punches he could catch Fury whether Fury tries to walk him down or get on his backfoot!

He tagged Fury in both fights, just needs to disguise his shots and throw tight combinations to the body to slow Fury down!
