    OK, I've given Wilder some abuse for the excuses, but..

    Have you actually watched the video and looked at the pictures?

    I'm not saying it's true, I'm not saying it happened but the photos look really suspect.

    Don't both camps inspect the gloves and wraps as they're being put on the fighters hands? There's nothing to see here just a another ignorant wilder fan that can't get over the fact that wilder got destroyed.

    I have and the guy's an idiot.
    Firstly, that's the heel of his palm they're showing.
    Secondly, what possible advantage would Fury gain by hitting Wilder with an empty glove? At worst he'd break his hand. At best he'd take the sting out of his punches because he's not hitting with the force of his hand, he's hitting with the force of a mostly empty glove.
    Wilder's fans are worse than Wilder. They're trying to cling to some bull**** conspiracy theory because their pathetic identity politics won't allow them to accept that a black champion got outclassed and schooled by a white one. To a certain extent it's Wilder's fault because he tried to make it about race in the first place

    When you say "They're" claiming, this, who is "they?"

    Neither Wilder nor his corner have made this complaint. I imagine Wilder would have known had he been hit from strange angles, and he probably should have made the complaint then. It simply is not going to fly, now. It is in the books.

    Also, video maker has NO business mentioning race given some of Wilder's own racial oriented comments and actions. We reap what we sow in this world, and it was FURY who said that he did not want a race war.

    Wilder lost. Plain and simple. Super fans always make an excuse.
    It's over. Race has nothing to do with it. Two men had a boxing match with two different skill sets.
    One a pure puncher, the other a boxing whiz. The boxing whiz won. It has happened countless time.
    It has happened the only way too. Think Jackson vs Graham ( although Jackson was a pretty solid boxer as well).
    So people can't accept the outcome, it's sad.

    These Idiotic Wilder fans don’t represent all Wilder fans, these people making these excuses are a fringe group of morons, not even 10 percent of the fan base.

    1 - the guy in the video said that the palm would be completely wrapped. I haven't seen anybody wrap the palm in years. Everybody that I see, including myself, wrap a fighter's hands, leaves the palm open. There is usually gauze on the top of the palm, near the fingers and that is what is used to put the tape or gauze between the fingers. Everybody that I see wrap hands leaves the entire palm open from the top, near the fingers to the wrist. This allows for a better "grip."

    2- there are inspectors from the state commission that watch the hands being wrapped and they initial/mark the wraps so that more gauze or tape can't be added later. The inspectors also watch the gloves being put on and they watch how the tape is applied to the gloves. Again, they initial/mark the tape so that nothing can be altered later. I would guess that Wilder's team had somebody watching Fury's trainer wrap his hands and put his gloves on.

    3 - what would be the advantage of not putting the knuckles into the glove? I'd hope my opponent or my fighter's opponent would not put his hand all of the way into the glove.

    Fury stuffed a Ravenous Hedgehog inside his Glove, thats why he knocked out Wilder. Now use this new unfounded allegation to give to the deluded Wilder fan base.
