    I think deep down he knows he lost. Look at how he responds to the final bell, he never raises his hands in victory, looked like a defeated man but then the SD was announced and then he went with the robbery and is now spinning the story of the fight as much as he can to change peoples minds, including his own.

    Not a chance.

    Wilder only wants the rematch in the US because of the judges.

    I'm not convinced it would be an act of courage. Deontay's not gonna' win by decision. Perhaps the "British stoppage" will work in his favor, if it's actually a thing. That said, I don't know how it looks from Camp Wilder nor the economics (nor do I care much except how it affects the price of my ppv).

    That Mexican judge is from Mexico and moved to the US recently. You have no idea if he is a citizen, so why do you make these claims? Even so, from a boxing perspective he’s a Mexican, which is why he rightly thought Wilder won the fight.

    The Canadian judge is a barrister whose first oath of loyalty is to the Queen, just like every Canadian barrister and member of the Canadian parliament. Canadians are in the British Commonwealth and they are more British than the Brits. He was chosen exactly for that reason, and you can be sure the money in the brown paper bag Robert Tapper received for his scorecard had the Queen’s face on it.

    You’re done. Who’s next? Who else can I educate today?

    Considering all the excuses he's been making since the fight I would say no

    I think he'll go abroad. He has great confidence in himself. He is proud, so he may feel he can whoop anyone anywhere in thee world. It would be nice to see an American champ travel abroad to get some.

    Why would Wilder give up the home advantage? for what reason?

    Only thing that springs to mind is more money - but even with that - I would take the home advantage to increase the chances of winning

    I actually think Wilder will back himself to knock Fury out regardless of where the fight is held.

    Wilder has been saying he wants the rematch to be in Las Vegas, where he's sure to get plenty of help from the notoriously untrustworthy officials, or in New York.

    In interviews since the fight, he's never mentioned traveling to the UK.

    whatever earns him the most money because it's going to be his last fight.

    I hope Fury says Manchester or nowhere else.

    I honestly think the best solution is to do the Ward/Froch arrangement and hold it in NYC. 4 hour flight for Wilder, about a 5-6 hour flight from London. One US judge, one UK judge, one neutral judge (non-Mexican ha ha).

    That's as neutral as you're going to get. A UK ref will stop the fight the second Fury lands a jab, and 2 of the three judges in LA produced good scores. It's not like Fury was on the wrong end of the cards Stevenson was about to be handed in Canada.

    Because Povetkin failed a drug test, the fight was due to take place in Russia
