Are we forgetting that Szpilka was beating Wilder before the fight stopped?

    The Pin was doing well... before getting "stuck".

    Score wise, I also had him a couple of rounds ahead prior to the conclusion. Kinda seemed like Wilder knew he'd eventually catch him with a fight ending shot.

    Don't forget that Wlad also was about to be KO'd DaVaryl Williamson but was saved by the cutman that made Wlad's cut bigger than it had to be and Wlad won on score cards...

    People saying G doesn't get hate threads on here lmao! Funny ****. Theres a thread about how Golovkin didnt answer a interview question politely enough. Theres are numerous threads blatantly shitting on him, and every other thread I see the words 'golovturd' 'bumlovkin' ect ect lmao give me a break.

    Wilder is getting a lot of flack right now because hes literally fighting tonight... but on average he doesn't get that much more hate than G does.

    That being said... Wilder is right there with him in terms of hate. Easily the two most **** on fighters currently. (In this forum)

    I heard rumors about the cutman did Wlad a "favor" and made the cut bigger since Wlad was hurt and didn't want to continue.

    I was at that fight and everyone in the audience, including Williamson, thought that Williamson won by KO...

    That's all bullsh-t! Vlad would have knocked Williamson out anyway, it was a mismatch, Vlad slipped, was never hurt and would have knocked Williamson out, no doubt about that one.............

    You're an idiot - it wasn't even a heavy KD, hell Wlad probably won the rest of the round. Wlad was winning the fight whether you like it or not, other than the flash KD Williamson didn't do anything that really troubled Wlad. The fight reached an unfortunate conclusion due to a cut caused by an accidental clash of heads, why is that so hard for you people to accept?

    It wasn't a slip, but rather a flash KD where he was more off balance than anything else. Regardless these detractors have gone the route of the historical revisionist in spite of the clear evidence. Williamson wasn't winning the fight, it wasn't a heavy KD and Wlad didn't look for an easy way out, an unfortunate cut was opened due to an accidental of heads and the ringside doctor determined it was too bad for him to continue - and thus the fight went to the cards. An unfortunate and inconclusive result, but there was no foul play involved like these idiots like to claim.

    Vlad was off balance because he was working on his new balance from Emanuel.................I remember it well, since then his footwork has been awesome!!!!!!!

    Who the **** are you?! You're an idiot, you don't know who I am or where I got my information from and if you did you would never say anything like that because you would know what I said was correct. Wlad was ahead on score cards, that why he "won", but Wlad was ****ed up from the KD and did not want to continue "whether you like I or not".

    Wilder looked uncomfortable in the ring with Szpilka but I think people are exagerrating by saying that Szpilka was ahead. Although he was active, his punches were not that accurate and effective, so Wilder controled the fight after all.

    Yet, if Jennings comes back, I'd see him giving a lot of troubles to Wilder by volume-punching him and at the same time being defensively responsible. I don't believe that Wilder has those offensive skills, like uppercots, that Ortiz used to neutralize Jennings attacks.

    100% truth.

    Willliamson's game plan of moving Wlad around the ring was working perfectly. Al Bernstien even noted how Wlad was falling apart before Wlads corner used a tiny little scratch as an excuse to end the fight. He was on track to another Brewster like stoppage loss. It was criminal how badly Williamson was robbed.

    The IBF saw it as a quit job like everybody else thus refused to move Wlad up the rankings. Thats why Williamson got the Byrd fight before Wlad did.

    Here is the link to the fight. Listen to what Wladimir is saying in the corner before the fight was stopped. Wladimir goes back to the corner and tells his corner "I am ready". When Stewart says he is going to stop the fight, Wladimir says "No way! No way! No way!". Wladimir clearly wanted to go on.

    I had Szpilka ahead. The Pin was landing the cleaner shots and was controlling the pace & tempo of the fight. Wilder was swinging and missing like a reta@rd, his jab looked like shite, poor footwork, etc,etc, and until he landed the KO

    I was at the fight, it looked way different live and in your clip Wlad didn't protest the decision to stop the fight as much as you make it out to be. You can take it for what you want, Wlad&corner did not want the fight to continue and like I said earlier, if you're in the boxing world in Las Vegas you know the truth.
