Thread: Wilder ducking Stiverne: Jay Deas and Al Haymon

"It would be an easy f!ght for me. Not just 'E A S Y,' I'm talking about 'E Z.' It wouldn't go the distance. We've already got animosity against each other and he's said a lot of things about me, and that if he got into the ring with me that he would knock me out. He said it with passion in his voice, and I heard him. It was rude. So I says if he so sure, why bother fighting at all?"

Wilder said he had words with Stiverne in Las Vegas during the week of Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s majority decision victory over Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand on May 3.

"I walked up on him at the MGM Grand because of comments he made about me. I'm the type of person who, if I do an interview with you, there is nothing that I won't say then that I wouldn't say if you were in front of me. Nothing. But he did an interview about me and he was very passionate about it. He had so much anger in his voice when my name was mentioned and it was so intense. Stiverne really has a lot of animosity against me and against my name and what I have done," said Wilder.

"So I walked up on him at the MGM, and said, 'Let me hear it from the horse's mouth.' I think that he was very intimidated, because people don't see me in that state of mind. I don't let people see me like that. But I just wanted to let him know that, 'If you win, then this is what you got.' The thing about it was there were a crowd of people walking around, but the thing about it was Bermane Stiverne is still unknown and people don't know who he is. People just thought that I was arguing with a regular guy. People knew who I was, but they were like, 'Don't let these fans get to you,' because people thought that he was a disgruntled fan.

"We met up in a restaurant. I was walking out, he was coming in, and he would not make eye contact with me. Not again. I just wanted to get the message across that he had grabbed my attention and that if he won, that we would be able to settle it in the ring like men. I was just telling him, 'May 10, you're gonna win, right?'" said Wilder.

"Because when you win, I'm gonna whip your a$s. I said that 'You have been trying to run from me, and you're still trying to run from me. But I'm the mandatory and you can't run. He was like, 'Ask Al Haymon. Ask Al Haymon, you're not the mandatory.' I was telling him, 'I am the mandatory, and if you win, I'm gonna whip your a$s, I promise you.

More evidence of why I loathe the term ducking. Here we have Wilder saying he wants to fight and somehow it's deemed Wilder is ducking. People see what they want to see and use the blanket word ducking to cover everything. There is no evidence Wilder doesn't want the fight.

On the other hand Don King has already been telling anyone who will listen that they don't have to fight Wilder. That they have an optional fight before the mandatory.

Fans get so little information and draw conclusions. We are supposed to be information driven but all the information refutes that. We are speculation driven. Watch an alien encounter series, everything can be explained by aliens. Watch a religion series, everything can be explained by religion. We don't know a hell of a lot more than we do know and we fill the gaps with whatever we choose to believe.

Don King will do whatever he feels makes him the most money. Maybe it's protecting the belt with many small profit fights, which he has a long history of doing. Or maybe he'll go for the cash grab against Wlad. Haymon will go for the belt if he thinks that makes the most money long term. The fighters will follow their instructions and fans will place blame on whoever is against their fighter.

Ron Swanson, the real Ben Johnson
takes note of the Pickle
Haymon will go for the belt
as Swanson rightfully says---
but only if it makes the most money for him!!

Wilder meets Stiverne in a restaurant
confronts Stiverne with harsh words because----GET THIS!!\
Wilder didnt "like the way Stiverne had hate for him in his heart."

Sounds like the words of a priest
Readying himself for a feast
a big pay day against the lumbering Wladimir Bitschko---

yeah, he's duckking Stiverne

How do you even know that's the REAL Deontay Wilder? Are you just going to take the government's word for it?

Wilder needs to step up and stop fighting internet trolls. Action speak louder than words.
