He probably needs to be protected from himself, whether he is "trolling" or not. What kind of man his size would agree to get in the ring with Wilder, without knowing what his intentions are? There's no way he's just on a wind up, that is mental territory. I don't blame Wilder for beating him up a bit either tbh, it was just the easiest way to deal with him. If this guy was personally texting him or saying crap about his family, then it's just desserts as a lot of people would wish to do worse. He probably didn't believe the wingnut would actually show up at the gym either
