Wilder releases statement

[Spicoli]

I'd like to hear him say it myself.

Most hazardous job in the world would be interviewing Wilder and having him spring that on you.

How you react as a journalist in the following seconds could have an effect on your immediate well-being.

Meaning an unconscious guffaw could cost you dearly.

Have to imagine it's from a spaghetti thrown at the wall list circulating among his team. After a public drubbing on that scale it's fair to give a guy a window to let the dust settle and at least get the feeling back in his neck, take it all with a grain of salt. A lot of talk on physical changes and his in ring future but this is equally character defining and how he goes forward mentally.

Let’s go ahead and say this is a legitimate excuse. It really did affect Wilder and his legs. If true, this makes him and his team look extremely stupid. A fight of this magnitude and you decide to put on a heavy uniform without understanding how heavy it is?
