Well that's a man that struggling mentally, sounds like his wife and cheerleaders have been blowing smoke up his backside and he is bluffing, he is struggling and hasn't accepted what just happened. It's still early, hasn't been a week yet but there are no signs he has learnt anything or intends to learn from the defeat. Personally I would have been far more impressed if he said.. "firstly I would like to congratulate Fury on an amazing performance, he was the better man on the night, secondly I'd like to thank my true fans who supported me and still have my back, but most importantly I'd like to apologise to Mark Breland, some things were said when emotions were running high and straight after my first defeat as a professional, Mark has always been there for me and I know he believed in his heart he was looking out for my safety, I still feel I could have continued but I understand his actions and still appreciate the love, knowledge and support he has given me over the years. I know my team and I will be back stronger and more determined than ever.. I've climbed the hill once and I will climb it again, once again thank you all for the love, support and well wishes and I promise you all we will be back on top in the coming months." That's a statement, that kills the Breland story, it makes him sound human (we all make mistakes and say stupid stuff when emotional) and it's an underdog story of him trying to reach the top again after a one sided defeat against a man who beat him senseless. It makes me wonder about the people around him, what they really think of him and just how much they care about him.. and if any of them have been honest with him. By the way, if any of you need some PR, message me.
Deontay X It's actually pretty sad that no-one close to him pulls him up and helps him see reality. He has turned himself into a laughing stock with these delusions. A complete lack of natural charisma doesn't help either...just painfully cringe.
sort of like the Elvis mafia. they did not tell Elvis any thing he did not want to hear. Don't know what has gone on with those around him. Breland did the right thing and should be commended for it. The above statement would have been perfect for Wilder to have made. Appears not to have the ability to accept reality as it pertains to himself. on the chessboard....well checkers in his case.....he is making moves that prevent him from learning and improving. not dissimilar to alcoholism or substance abuse.....one of the first things alcoholics anonymous requires is that the person introduce themselves and say "I am an alcoholic." If I am wrong about that...I apologize. Maybe he should say "I am Deontay Wilder.....I am not a boxer."
"It makes me wonder about the people around him, what they really think of him and just how much they care about him.. and if any of them have been honest with him." I think this is the key to all the comms coming out of his camp this week. It shows they are simply using Wilder as a puppet to push their own objectives and agendas and do not care for him as a person at all.
