Exactly. Before he got his beat down, him and all the fans were saying it's Fury who's in trouble. Remember before the fight loads of people saying : Fury is injured, Fury is setting up excuses for when he gets destroyed, Fury had a bad camp, Fury is scared, Fury changed trainers in a panic in desperation, Fury is out of shape, Fury is hiding his fear behind a hood and sunglasses, Fury's cashing out, Fury won't be able to take a 230 pound Wilder's power this time, Fury's at the end of the line and he and all his fans know it. Then Wilder gets smashed to bits and the story from Wilder's deluded fans changes completely.
Exactly. People were saying Wilder had Fury's number after the first fight and Fury won't be able to improve whilst Wilder will improve for the rematch... Now we are treated to all the excuses under the sun.
Yeah but Batman has a cool suit. Wilder looked like a Voodoo doctor with A.I. aspirations. Unfortunately they must've forgot to upload the A.I. he needed. Or, does that count as a wardrobe malfunction? Hey...we got a new excuse!
Lol I made a post in another thread with a comparison to Martin. Haymon had 2 heavies with titles Martin and Wilder, he tried to unify them but was denied by the sanctioning bodies and so he fed one to Joshua for millions and padded the career of the other. Makes you wonder what would of happened if Haymon had fed Wilder to Joshua back then and kept Martin feasting on journeymen.
Don't worry about getting A.I for the costume. Get some A.I for his head!! lol. Oh poor Deontay. He'll be back and we shouldn't count him out, we shouldn't throw the towel in on him. Or should we Mr Breland? LOL.
Oh i give him credit for what he did in the ring... he finally faced somebody with a pulse who was under 40 annd he lost. matter of fact he lost 17 out of 19 rounds. and was thoroughly outclassed along the way. It shows why they in 5+ years as WBC champ they never tried to unify they knew he would be exposed.
Wilder has largely been a disgrace in the aftermath of his defeat, but you just identified the one statement I can commend him on. That sword he was brandishing ("trying to get a body on my record"), he was willing to die by it. On the matter of Breland's towel; "I fight on my shield, and that’s what I abide by. Look, if I say I’m gonna kill a man in the ring, I’m gonna abide by that same principle as far as receiving that same punishment. I always said my pride would get me killed in life. I’m talking about speaking things into existence, believing it would happen that way. So, I have to abide by the same principle of the reaction of what I abide by. They know this isn’t an emotional thing to be said. This is something that’s already been premeditated, already been discussed in many, many years, many, many fights. I said that no matter what it might seem like on the outside of the ring, no matter how you’re feeling – and I understand what it looks like sometimes and you don’t wanna see nobody get hurt, you don’t wanna see the one you love get hurt and all that – and all that stuff’s good. But I told them my wishes are, as the fighter, as the one in the ring, I wanna go out on my shield. Fury’s the same way." ^ It's about the only thing he's said regarding his defeat that makes any sense.
He's full of crap, trying to be a tough guy. I guarantee you that if Fury beat on him a little longer and into brain damage he would be wishing in the recesses of his mind that someone had stopped the fight. Same goes for him killing somebody in the ring. Most fighters who kill or irreparably damage their opponents feel horrible afterwards. Sugar Ray Robinson killed an opponent and felt so guilty he gave his purse to the guy's mother. Barry McGuigan felt so guilty for killing his opponent that in his next fight he got gun shy and nearly lost the fight.
He was c*apping his pants as soon as fury ran at him when the bell went he was genuinely scared, look at him between rounds 6-7 in the corner. He had his clock cleaned. He could have been in the dressing room for all he knew
Maybe, but I saw no quit in him on the night, he conducted himself as a warrior. I don't necessarily demand that extent of 'never say die' attitude from professional fighters, but I respect it when I see it, because it is the purest manifestation of the trade.
Dontaes Boxing nation chanel have a arrange a petiton on Change.Org to "disqualify Tyson Fury for Cheating in both fights and grant Wilder a 44-0 record" Worst thing I've seen from LDBC since Barbershop conversation P4P top 10 after Harrison beat Charlo which consisted of 1. Wilder 2. Spence 3. Crawford 4. Julian Williams 5. Gary Russell 6. Tank 7. Jermall charlo 8. Plant 9. Harrison 10. Fulton
