      Deontay Wilder was not some prospect who needed protecting, he was the 5 year reign WBC heavyweight Champion of the world 'I don't think the fight should of been stopped'.

      I can understand why it was stopped from a compassionate perspective, but seriously? Wilder was still fighting back at the time of the stoppage, and you should never really take a puncher out of the fight 'If he is still fighting back'.

      It was not the worst beat down in history, and Fury is not known as a power puncher.

        Breland was right to do it. I don't care what Wilder says about dying on his shield this is just sport and Wilder has a family and maybe thanks to Breland he still has a career.

        Weve all seen Boxers beaten in to a cabbage state or to death and we can all point to the bit where the fight went on a bit too long. We could be saying that about Wilder v Fury 2.

          But it was a beat down.

            And what happens if he ends up another Gerald McClellan, his legs were gone his balance was gone bleeding from the ear and he had a major dent in his skull,, nah it was a good stoppage Wilder was on the edge where bad things can happen.

              Or Mike Tyson's destruction of Pinklon Thomas ???
              How did Pinky survive the towel less brutality
              ???

              Show me the devastating punch that sent Gerald to his wheelchair...

              Benn was the one who went flying out of the ring
              No towel.

              It would take too many pages and time for me to post up pics of boxers who eat 100's of punches a round and never seeing a towel.

              Once again, from late 1800-1950, gloves used were made to kill people

              No towels

              You don't risk a fighter's life because there's a 90% chance he'll be OK. You are being a pragmatic and always think about the 10%.

              People who have been in the sport far longer and seen much more than you and me all agree breland made the right decision?

              Why?

              Because this is a sport and not a street fight and they've seen enough of it to know that Wilder had nothing left. You don't fight to death. That is what the fighters have their corners for. To make their decisions for them. Wilder was not responding and had nothing left. That's when you throw the towel.

              Mago knew there was something wrong with him and even told his conrermen that. Unfortunately his conrermen were a bunch of inexperienced bodybagz. Today he's a vessel.

                There have been worst beat downs, that have happened in history. I am not sure what this new, sub culture is in boxing with people? 'Where people don't actually want to see fighters fight, if it gets too violent'.

                Why are people trying to make out, like this was one of the most horrific beat downs in history? Wilder immediately protested the stoppage, and he was vocal inside of the ring afterwards.

                Wilder was fighting back at the time of the stoppage, a 5 year reigning WBC heavyweight Champion 'Not some prospect who needed protecting for another day'.

                The fight should not of been stopped,
                you do not take a puncher out of the fight 'It is as simple as that'. Boxing is a violent sport, violence is going to happen 'Fighters train to resist it, and fight back' and Wilder was fighting back, he was not looking to get out of the fight.

                Tyson Fury has been walking about, as if he is Mike Tyson 'As if he has just sparked Michael Spink's in 1 round' Tyson Fury is walking around and is starting to believe that he is a heavyweight destroyer 'All of his fans are getting him high, off a slightly distorted perception'.

                Tyson Fury was winning the fight, I get it 'He was having success, well done'. But Deontay Wilder limited yes 'Was still fighting back'.

                If this fight was a prospect vs another prospect 'I understand the stoppage'. But this was not that kind of fight, it was a super-fight 'Deontay Wilder was a 5 year reigning WBC heavyweight champion, not some prospect'.

                The fight from my perspective, the fight should not of been stopped.

                  All of a sudden boxing fans are applauding towel throwing

                  Carry on. I wouldn't want to post another 10000000 pics and names of brawlers who lived long lives.

                    Wilder was starting to look like a reg doll. The towel was appropriate.

                      after reading Breadman's take on it im gonna say Breland was in the wrong. he's not the "head" trainer and he didn't let anybody know of what he was about to do.

                      he deserved to get fired but not accused of spiking water. . that's too far
