Maybe he can start another infantile "Truce?" thread which he himself will again proceed to break.
This is beyond comical.
I vote we don't accept him into our gang.
Gents. Can we go without turning full on flame war on a front board talking one of the best hvy weight shows in recent memory.
It's actually better on the re watch. That sweeping left jab-hook that Fury had set the table in the very first minute. Every single time it popped Wilders head up and had him setting on his heels. Wilder actually got in two quality rights in the 2nd but Fury hurt him with a right on the ropes. That was ballgame. Even noticed Wilder cocked his fists before the opening bell. That hype man..that hype blew up spectacularly
I am about to re-watch too and maybe change my mind, but might not. It all depends on what I see.
As for Beanz. Well Spicoli, all I did was respond to his aggression with a reference to him being like Hugh Grant who went on to pull a very good looking Jewish woman in a film. I was mild.
These ring intros are so camp. You would never see Prime Tyson doing any of this throne or Sauron business.
How could this costume be 40 pounds in weight? It's just a mask with a body piece. Are batteries that heavy? I think the only thing it is missing is a codpiece.
The re watch is well worth it. Honestly it's been a while since I've done the Sunday wake up and hit replay. Wilders heart will tell him immediate rematch but have a feeling Bob and Fury will find a work around. Wilder deserves an honest reboot and some time to regroup
I am still evaluating the ring walk and missed the battery contraption to the back and the extra fittings. Wilder obviously put a lot of effort into the costume. Maybe heavier than I first thought. A very unique costume. Fury was more sensible taking a rest on the way in. 1-0 to Fury for the entrance strategy.
Two rounds in and I see it exactly as I saw it the first time. Wilder clearly has his legs and the rounds are perhaps edged by Fury, but in both Wilder lands very solid rights and a few good jabs of his own. At this stage it really is kind of similar to the first fight. There is nothing to say Wilder, who despite all the technical shortcomings that people talk of, is being especially outclassed. If anything Ortiz had a better start than this.
Good for you setting the record straight, Miles. Gotta call a spade a spade, and that spade continues to reappear even after the deck of cards has been tossed in a drawer.
As for Fury-Wilder, I will continue disagreeing with you and say that Wilder has nothing to bring to the table against Fury. Case closed.
Although.........the thought of being on the same side of the argument with "whatshisface" is almost enough to make me reconsider.
Deontay Wilder sacks trainer who threw the towel in during Tyson Fury fight
Deontay Wilder plans to sack his trainer Mark Breland after he threw the towel in during his heavyweight title defeat against Tyson Fury, claiming that if he wants to “talk about killing man” in the ring, he has to be willing to receive the same treatment.
Breland was praised for saving Wilder from further punishment after a bloody contest ended at 1:39 minutes in the seventh round, with Fury well ahead on the three judges’ scorecards and having knocked the defending champion down twice.
Wilder was visibly upset by the decision as referee Kenny Bayliss waved the fight off, and he bellowed “Why’d you do that?!” at his corner in the immediate seconds after Fury’s victory was confirmed, and questioned whether there was a conspiracy against him due to rumours that voices from outside of his corner had an influence in the decision.
With Wilder announcing his intention to activate an immediate rematch clause, the American is set to fight Fury in a third contest before the end of July, but he is unlikely to have former Olympic champion Breland in his corner.
"We had many discussions for years about this situation and for him to still do it after Jay (Deas, Wilder's main trainer) told him not to do it really hurt me,” Wilder told the Associated Press.
“And then I heard he was influenced by another fighter in the audience and it makes a lot of conspiracy theories in your head why he did it. It didn't make sense."
He added to Yahoo Sports: “I am upset with Mark for the simple fact that we’ve talked about this many times and it’s not emotional.
“It is not an emotional thing, it’s a principal thing. We’ve talked about this situation many, many years before this even happened. I said as a warrior, as a champion, as a leader, as a ruler, I want to go out on my shield. If I’m talking about going in and killing a man, I respect the same way. I abide by the same principal of receiving.
“So I told my team to never, ever, no matter what it may look like, to never throw the towel in with me because I’m a special kind. I still had five rounds left. No matter what it looked like, I was still in the fight.”
“I understand he was looking out for me and trying to do what he felt was right, but this is my life and my career and he has to accept my wishes.”
Under the terms of their pre-fight contract, Wilder has 30 days to activate his rematch clause from the night of the bout, and a third fight between the pair must be organised before the end of July, ensuring they will collide three times in the space of 19 months.
"This summer with no fights in between," Wilder told the Associated Press. "I'm a warrior and I'm ready to go again, but we're going to change a lot of things in camp."
Wilder also confirmed that he did not suffer a broken jaw or perforated ear drum as many had suspected, and blamed his three-stone outfit that he wore to the ring in recognition of Black History Month as the cause of his loss for sapping the energy from his legs.
“He didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is ... that my uniform was way too heavy for me,” Wilder told Yahoo Sports. “I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight.
“In the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. But I’m a warrior and people know that I’m a warrior. It could easily be told that I didn’t have legs or anything. A lot of people were telling me, ‘It looked like something was wrong with you.’ Something was, but when you’re in the ring, you have to bluff a lot of things. I tried my best to do so. I knew I didn’t have the legs because of my uniform.
“I was only able to put it on (for the first time) the night before, but I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy. It weighed 40, 40-some pounds with the helmet and all the batteries. I wanted my tribute to be great for Black History Month. I wanted it to be good and I guess I put that before anything.”
He added to AP: "Going up the stairs (into the ring) I knew immediately it was a different change in my body condition," he said. "After the second round I had no legs, period."

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Deontay Wilder has been medically suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after his defeat by Tyson Fury.
The American was under the cosh from the very first bell as Fury lived up to his promise to attack and put his opponent on the back foot – managing to drop the ‘Bronze Bomber’ twice.
Wilder was pulled from the fight in the seventh round by trainer Mark Breland with blood gushing from his ear and lip and with a knockout seemingly inevitable.
Such was the alarming flow of the stream of claret from the left ear of the ‘Bronze Bomber’, there was speculation he could have perforated his eardrum after a clubbing right hand dropped him in the third.
It was later confirmed he just required seven stitches inside the ear to stem the flow of blood, although the NSAC have confirmed Wilder will still be unable to even spar in the state until April 8 and cannot fight until April 23.
Given it is merely a six-week suspension; this has not prevented the former WBC heavyweight champion from invoking his rematch clause for a third fight with Fury.
Whoever lost in Sin City had 30 days in which to trigger a clause which gave them a 40/60 split of the third bout purse, with Wilder confirming on Monday he intended to seek a trilogy fight.
Initially, the rubber match was set for July 18 in Las Vegas, although Fury’s co-promoter Frank Warren has admitted this could now be pushed back until September or October and held at the new Las Vegas Raiders’ 72,000-seater stadium.
Whenever the legacy-defining clash takes place, Wilder will be sure to head to the ring with a far lighter costume after blaming his 40lbs outfit for the defeat as it drained his legs.
