Comments Thread For: Wilder's "Kill" Talk To Be Reviewed at Hearing, Says WBC Prez

[Longhaul]

Lame, people are way too sensitive these days.

All that kill talk from Wilder is classless and corny, but what exactly needs to be reviewed and why should Wilder be punished for this?

Agreed....I do think he’s getting into his opponents head though.

Totally agree with you, why the review? Agreed it’s a classless comment even to help hype or sell the fight, but no need to make a big deal out of it. I wish his parents would speak to him. They are meant to be religious.

Because I know he doesn’t really mean it, and if anything happens to Breazeale Wilder would never forgive himself.

Sulaiman is just trying to save face. The SAME EXACT verbiage was thrown between Wilder and Stiverne, nothing was done then, nothing will be done now. He's making too much money off Deontay.

Secretly he may be hoping someone beats Deontay to get the belt off him, but until then, you're still cashing that check, bro

Wilder's stupidity with his tough guy talk is pathetic.
You may be strong but you're not killing anyone wearing pillows on your hands, dude.
Be real.

He would put you in the morgue with those pillows, G.

Someone needs to tell Wilder that his trash talk isn't intimidating in the least, its just corny.

no different from Mike Tyson telling Lennox Lewis he wanted to eat his kids...

[Floyd is TBE]

Motha****ers really getting worked up over some dumb ****. This is why boxing isn't respected anymore.

So will it be premeditated murder when Dominic is dead? Of course Wilder would say it was done, "legally" lol

[Boksfan]

I guess Wildher will be the one who dies in the ring, karma.

If he accidentally kills him, nobody will believe it was accidentally. For these words WBC should strip him of the title.

People compared this to what Mike Tyson used to say. Two differences: Tyson had a reputation of being a bad mofo but even though when was saying things like: "i want to eat your children" nobody took this seriously because it was obviously so grotesquely over the top, his tone was different, the whole perception was different. Wilder does not have even a bit of Tyson's reputation which actually helped Tyson not to be taken so seriously when he was saying all that stupid ****. For Wilder its so out of character that people actually pay attention and take it seriously.

And secondly, Tyson got away with a lot not only because of his personality, but also because the times were a bit different. The MeToo movement wouldn't even be a movement in the 80s and would barely get any attention in early 2000s. Now, things are a bit different, these words resonate differently. And Klitschkos certainly helped create a different image of a champion. All in all, Wilder set himself up for a massive failure with these comments. Stupid and poorly calculated. That's not the way to hype up the fight.
