It's a weak excuse but was probably still a dumb thing to do.

Why expend any extra energy seconds before you have to give 100%?

One of the things being discussed about the fight is why did wilders Corner not throw the towel in earlier. It was evident that he was off of his game because of that busted ear drum. Why leave him in there for a couple extra rounds to get beat on like that.

Wow. I was just reading about Tyson Fury. What an incredible story he has. Overcoming all the personal issues he had to rematch against someone who he had his only draw against.

And he doesn't look like an icon of fitness. He must be incredibly skilled.  He's also gotten flack for saying some socially conservative things in the past.

Pretty much. They were making money.  Contract probably had a round bonus too.

They had a homie referee and figured he would bail them out.

He should have protested to his owner that wearing a 40 lb costume was just too much weight for him prior to a fight...

He needs to state exactly WHO it was who "Made" him wear that ditzy glitzy outfit for that brief stroll to the ring...

Lt. Dan: What's wrong with your lip?

Bubba Wilder: I was born with big gums, sir.

Lt Dan: Yeah, well, you better tuck that in. Gonna get that caught on a trip wire.



Jokes aside I watched the fight and I'm surprised that the fight was not stopped sooner. I bet if it was a middleweight or light heavyweight bout where the punches come a lot quicker it would have been stopped.

He's not dumb, even though he came up with the dumbest excuse ever, he's trying to sell the next fight.

I think he should let Fury fight Joshua.
He should fight some bum whom he can destroy and impress the world as the #1 contender.

Then he should fight the winner of Joshua/Fury.
If Joshua wins, he fights Joshua, for HUGE $$$$$ and he has a built in trilogy for huge $$$ with Fury.

The Joshua fight is where the big $$$$ are.
A three man contest would be huge $$$$ for everyone.
Agreed, but his pride is making him push for a(nother) rematch with Fury.

Joshua got dropped in a training bout with his trainers thus why he got dropped when he fought Ruiz, the rematch Joshua had enough time to heal and Ruiz got defeated by victory, not taking training serious and gaining even more weight.

Wilder is just a wild puncher with limited talent at actually boxing.  But man he can throw the switch on you if he connects.

Fury needs to fight Joshua.  He beats him and he puts in his claim to be an all time great.

I would have thought being repeatedly punched in the face had more to do with his poor showing than carrying 40 lbs a tiny distance but I’m not a professional like he is.

Clearly, Tyson Fury is racist.  He spent the whole fight just punching the fuck out of the black man.

They should have thrown in the towel several rounds before it finally came to an end.  He was little more than a (barely) standing punching bag the last couple of rounds.

I wouldn't want to send my fighter or go into a fight myself after a 25 yard hike packing an extra 40 lbs.  I'm not saying that's why he lost but it was a dumb thing to do.

Funny. Me and several of the people who watched the fight have previously worn costumes similar to that.  As soon as we saw him wearing it we all commented that he had to be gassed just from the ring entrance.  Once he took off the mask our suspicions were pretty much confirmed.

Guess we were right.
