Comments Thread For: Wilder Defends Scott: He Wouldn't Fake It and Go Down

[mathed]

Untill Wilder gets in the ring with a genuine threat, many people will keep on doubting him

Scott was no threat, out of shape, mental issues and no power. As well as Being Wilders friend

Wilder vs Fury or chisora needs to be made

I'm waiting for Wilder-Fury so Wilder can make him cry in the corner after Fury wakes up from the smelling salts.

just keep laying people out wilder, soon the whole world will feel his power at the same moment

Wilder should just ignore all the armchair fans crying fix.

Scott has no reason to throw the fight, he's not some journeyman, he's earning good money and has a great record, this loss is a huge step back. Wilder on the other hand still hasn't even had a 6 figure pay day, he's also got an extremely small fan base.

Yeah, it makes no sense. They said the same thing about Broner, who was much more regarded, and he still lost a decision. Fans opinions mean something, but too often they think with their emissions. People are disappointed Scott didn't expose Wilder and don't want to buy that left on the side of the head could have possibly caused that kind of damage. Same thing happened when Tyson fought Bruce Seldon. Sometimes a grazing punch by a hard hitter on the top or side of the head can really rattle a guy, especially in the first round when most fighters have not completely warmed up yet.

It look like a dive to me. Scott just don't want none of Wilder. Pull an Ortiz.

Wilder needs to get some serious appreciation around here. 31(31)-0 is a freaking awesome record. Even if you started out facing bums or journeymen, its no cake walk to actually KO them, most veterans are seasoned survivors. Then to move up and start doing the same to fringe guys and contenders, is still something special. He's now facing world level guys, what more do people want?
For years people have wanted a devastating American HW champ to emerge, and here is the guy, yet the public seem to want him to fail. I don't get it.

I would love to have a serious American heavyweight contender. But I am also a realist. The 30 fighters Wilder faced before Scott had a combined 298 loses and they were stopped 170 times within the distance. So most of those seasoned veterans you talk about have spent a career getting knocked out. So excuse me if I don't take Wilder or his 52 round career very seriously.

A left hand slap on the face followed by a fully blocked right hand concluded with a clumsy fall down. Totally fake circus act. Complete fraud by both these clowns. Both should lose their licenses for a year for that nonsense. At least wrestling has no pretense of being a "real" sporting event.

Last sentence nailed it. Let him pop you with a left hook to the temple and tell me that **** won't have you on ***** streak. Hardest puncher on the planet.

That wasnt his full power shot,so ur statement doesnt hold water.....no doubt if it would of connected wuth full leverage on his punch it wiuld of been an ice cold k.o.but it wasnt plain and simple..


But you would be surprised of how many non fighters can take punches....not everybody would get put on ***** street..just sumthing to think about..

Does that mean Butterbean should demand respect he faced similar opposition

[Nomadic]

Fake punch or not, he still in line for the belt.

Exactly, another example is the glancing blow Guerrero landed behind the ear on Berto.

Your exactly right.... Unless you are the one getting hit who can say what hurt and what didn't
