New trainer for Wilder?

Breland got it spot on imho. He may however be given his equivalent of a P45 for saving the fighter from themselves.

Agreed.

Wilder had been struggling for three rounds.

He was becoming exhausted & he had little or no chance of beating Fury at that or any stage.

Breland did the right thing.

Rather than throw the towel in why didn’t they say between rounds that you’re loosing and he has a round to show them that he can still compete?

Why not tell Wilder end of the 6th round that they are thinking of stopping the fight to get a response in the 7th?

Wilder should have at least been told they were thinking of stopping it..he is the champion and deserves that..unless it was the ref that stopped it?

I don't know if changing the main trainer would make a world and wonder of difference, likely not, but perhaps a new trainer could help to correct/improve a few key features that IMO, he needs, including pop the jab better. I might be crazy, but I think that a guy like Roach would be perfect for the job; he's good to correct jab and to swtich gears into agressivity. Wouldn't change the whole world, but perhaps just enough to make the required difference.

A new trainer must make some difference..so we have Roach..who else?

Time for that was when he was being out boxed by a Gerald Washington. His flaws are trained into the package now. He'll need to strip the car down to the frame and rebuild but he's too far in on the very top level to have that done now. You can always tweek some things and add a new coat of paint but for the most part I think he is what he was always going to be.

I would go with Roach and a few familiar long timers for familiar voices.

The knockdown happened, but when Wilder was flopping around again quickly, something was wrong there. His legs looked to be dragging in a peculiar fashion meaning that he had no coordination and with the ear gushing, Fury knew he could toy with him then.

People writing off Wilder forget that Fury himself looked shit against a journeyman a fight before. Wilder can and will do much better than that.

I would like to see Roach sit down and talk to Wilder, watch footage, then develop strategies. He can come back.

The ref should never accept a towel from a corner to stop a fight. Did the ref even see the towel? Thought he stopped it himself.
