Comments Thread For: Wilder Injured Bicep in Camp For Fury, Says Sparring Partner Fa

[Earl-Hickey]

Respect for Fa or Wilder? This article was first published by Sky Sports. Fa just answered the reporter and note that he didn't come out himself to the press. It seems like people in this forum will start to hate Fa as well. Just because he answered a question raised by the media.

Fury will punch Fa's cooooont right in for him if he wants some

Fury beat the guy who beat Ortiz. This must make him the best heavyweight ever!

They did think he wasn't 100% so the first fight can be argued as a cherry pick, but you DKSAB if you thought he was somehow not good enough to box circles around very limited Wilder. Fury was moving well, and looked good in ALL of his comeback, ring rust fights. LMAO at you and everyone else who watched the Pianeta and Schwarz fights and thought Wilder would handle him. The minute Furys return was offical I knew it was a wrap for both Wilder and AJs chances.

I hope peeps keep ignoring my takes though, I love taking peoples money. I run circles around bookies. Formulaic projections will never trump pure knowledge of the sport in boxing, and this is coming from a sabr head.

I assume you mean Seferi and Pianeta, rather than Schwartz (which was post Wilder Fury I)

The Seferi fight was barely a fight, the crowd started booing (something which Radio Rajeev commented on post fight) and the referee had to tell the fighters to get on with actually trying to fight each other.

Pianeta was a very low-ranked career cruiserweight. To think that Fury was going to win a world title fight after those two performances would have been a bold prediction indeed (not to mention an incorrect one)

Cherry pick gone wrong more or less covers it

The thing is let's say this is true and it very well maybe. So no matter what wilder or his team or anyone close to him said, he would look bad telling the truth after getting beat the way he did against fury.

His legs were gone in the third. Was it caused by the punch he took or was it already on course for him to be leg fatigued? Fury just beat him in every area with or without injury. Wilder wasn't going to land his one punch knockout. He tried in the 1st and 2nd round and fury took the punches and defended them brilliantly. Fury took his power away by wearing him out, leaning on him and battering him.

So what he lost... Regardless of the reasons. Come back, adjust and go at it again. It's too hard and nearly impossible to have an undefeated career especially in the HW division. Step up make the fights with the best and let history show you got in there and did it. I like AJ, Wilder and Fury and people get too caught up in supporting a guy blinded by their passions. I'll root for wilder as the American but I'll be just as happy to see a undisputed regardless of who it is.

I don't know what you angry about. Fa never said anything to Fury so what you saying is out of context.

[Oshio]

Since his beaten, We've not heard much from Wilder. Someone said he now washes cars in Manchester and he saw him complain of injuring his fingers

[Kezzer]

It’s very unlike wilder to come up with excuses.


This sounds remarkably credible compared to his other stories... just a shame it took a year to come up with it!

Although I don't agree with a lot of what you say, you do highlight the short-term bias of most boxing fans. Deontay knocks out bums but he is the a top 10 ATG. He is then demolished by Fury so Deontay is now a bum and Fury is an ATG.

Most real fans of boxing would know that both Deontay and Fury are very flawed characters but I still want to see the rematch.

I am fine seeing the rematch. But I also want to see the winner fight Whyte, Povetkin, AJ and the rest of the top contenders too. Wilder and Fury have both skipped over the best heavyweights of the last 5 years and no one has called them on it. In fact, they have given them praise instead. That's why I follow AJ. He has either fought, or sent career high offers to fight almost all of the top 15 heavyweights in the world.

This is how easily fans are fooled ,they really a a weird bunch . AJ level of compeTition in itself will give him the edge over Fury . Out boxing Wilder isn’t going to do anything for Fury in a match against AJ ,the best boxer Fury has defeated in recent times was Wallin ,he’s not going to be ready for an Anthony Joshua type people are going to lose a lot of money on that one . Pulev by far helps out AJ more then Wilder does for Fury preparation going into AJ vs Fury .

Yes. I fully expect Fury fans to run for the hills like Wilder fans have after AJ KOs him. If Wallin went 12 rounds and almost stopped him on cuts, then not only can AJ do that and more, but half of the top 20 can do it too. Wilder is and always was a fraudulent champion who feasted on bums and gatekeepers for years. For him to get KOed by Fury, who is not a big puncher at all, says a lot about his ability to handle a top heavyweight. Just like Fury fighting Wallin, Schwarz, Sefari and others instead of Whyte, Povetkin, Parker and others tells us that he is not fully confident of his ability either. No matter what his mouth is saying. His actions tell a different story. I just see AJ catching him with a brutal uppercut and dropping him senseless.
