    His team is entirely incompetent and needs to be fired. They did everything wrong in this fight, him coming in at 231 lbs, him completely underestimating that Fury would be much stronger and hit harder in the rematch, not bothering to improve his boxing skills one bit all this while, not being able to give him any proper advice in between the rounds, I literally heard his trainer in between the rounds say back him up and launch the right hand, good luck doing that against a 273 lb guy.

    There was a unidentified member of the entourage that put that mask on too tight. Deontay complained about the lack of oxygen and was gasping for breath when he entered the ring. Don't worry though, the bomb squad have caught him before he could get on the plane. He's been hauled back to Alabama headquarters, and he's receiving a punishment beating as we speak!

    I’m not convinced this will ever be bettered. I doubt anyone on the planet could have foreseen the arrival of an excuse floating the idea that the weight of a boxer's entrance attire might have been a decisive factor in their defeat.

    This is a real good point and one I didn't consider.

    Wilder's spindly legs had to deal with 270lbs Fury pushing on and leaning on him.

    This supports the theory Wilder is not used to working that hard early in a fight and was fatigued badly.

    I know there is the broken eardrum theory also but nobodies confirmed the extent of Wilder's injuries as far as I know.

    The fact that a 34 year old man thinks it’s cool to dress up in some kind of Mad Max/Statue of Liberty/Gimp Suit hybrid costume to walk to the ring damages my brain never mind his legs
