I'm looking forward to this and didn't see a poll. I think Nyambayar's chances are being underestimated here. He's not coming off his best performance, but it was a weird year, a decent opponent, and at least he got a fight in. He has banana peel energy. Chris Colbert seems to be gaining a following here and he has a nice chance to grow it if he does win convincingly.
Colbert is a character and a good interview He gave an interview to FightHype the other day about all the excuses The Tuscaloser's made after Fury baptized him in his backgarden and they deleted it because he spoke nothing but pure truth and fire and they couldn't handle it being the super Tuscaloser fanboys they are He touches on it here. All he did was voice his honest opinion and tell the truth This content is protected
Word on the street is The Tuscaloser or someone from his team asked FightHype to take it down This is all Colbert said “Fury is going to beat on him. How are you going to learn from somebody you knocked out?” Colbert said about Wilder now being trained by one of his past knockout victims Malik Scott. “Clip of him [Deontay] hitting pads? Pads don’t hit back. “I’m saying too. The pads aren’t hitting back. Everybody looks good on pads. Tyson Fury is special. I don’t think anybody ***** with him. I don’t know about him coming in 300 lbs. Whatever he says, he does it. “You’ve got to listen to him. He told you he was going to stop Wilder. He beat his a**. Everybody wants to make excuses. In the first fight, I think he [Fury] won too. Two knockdowns don’t make you a 12 round fight. Fury was on his a**. “All the excuses he’s making for the second fight is terrible,” Colbert said about Deontay making excuses about his loss. “No,” Colbert said about him not believing something was wrong with Fury’s gloves. “Then it was, ‘He spiked his water.’ Come on, man. What are you going to put it in? ‘What did he put in his water? Why would [ex-Wilder trainer] Mark Breland want to **** up his paycheck? That doesn’t even sound accurate. You got to be stupid to do that. “You want to sabotage another black man. What did he put in his water? Cocaine? He said Tyson Fury put something in his gloves and then his outfit. There are too many excuses. “What does the outfit weigh more than use? Does the s*** weigh more than you? 20 lbs are going to make you so tired when you’re walking from there to the ring? He should have never got it. “That’s your business. Who told you to do that? Tyson Fury didn’t tell you to do that. “His team didn’t tell him to do that. He can’t take his a** whipping like a man. He don’t know how to take an L,” Colbert said about Wilder. “I said I thought he lost the first fight,” Colbert said of Deontay. “Why is he mad at me? You need someone like me around. “I’m honest. You got to accept honesty and accept criticism. People don’t like that. “I don’t care if you’re going to talk to me or not or if you’re going to respect me or not. I’m being honest. I don’t think he [Wilder] was winning the fight. “That last one [with Fury] was bad. Oh my God. When Tyson Fury beats him this time, what are they going to say he put in his gloves this time? “I’m trying to figure out what is he [Malik Scott] going to teach him? He [Wilder] said Malik Scott is a boxing genius. “Why is he looking so terrible in his fights? He don’t look good in his fights. If you’re a boxing genius, you have a mindset of what you can do. “He won’t have a mindset of what you can do. He went in there with Wilder, and Wilder hit his glove, and he dropped to the ground. “Tyson Fury says, ‘I’m not worried about nothing.’ He made Wilder look like a sucker,” said Colbert. “You just changed your trainer to somebody you knocked the ***** out, and Tyson Fury beat him [Malik] up too [in sparring],” Colbert continued. Now what? “You lost, so you changed trainers. Tyson Fury won [editor’s note: Fury fought Wilder to a draw in the first fight], and he changed his trainer because he felt he could get some more learning. “There’s always some more learning that you can do. He [Fury] did not lose. He [Wilder] lost. “He got the s*** beat out of him, and he changed trainers, and he blamed it on the trainer [Mark Breland] because he lost. “The trainer was saving his life. He broke his other eye. I’m not biased. I don’t even know Breland. What am I biased about him? “It doesn’t have anything to do with me. He didn’t give me no money. I’m honest. Tyon Fury is just a better person. You got to take that and run with it. “He [Deontay] should have fought somebody else. He should have fought Joshua, and he would have had a better shot. Joshua lost too. “Joshua got knocked out. They both got knocked out. He’s [Wilder] not getting his belts back. “That is not happening. I’m seeing Fury all day. I’ve been since the first fight because, skill-wise, I think Tyson Fury has got it. “That is the only way it can happen,” Colbert said about the only way Wilder can win is if he stops Fury.
That Tug could be a problem for Colbert, but I'm not sure where he's at as far as spirit goes. Does he speak at all?
King Tug is a very live dog in this fight. I like his attitude going in, and his chances of wearing Colbert down for the (t)ko.
