Deontay Wilder confirms during a guest appearance on podcast in December 2018 that he specifically trains wearing a "45-pound vest" to carry extra weight to activate his "twitch muscles"🤔

Bizarre then that his ring costume weighing an alleged 40 pounds is blamed?

Without question the biggest laughing stock in the sport. I can't remember the last time a fighter was ridiculed (and rightly so) this much. It's absolutely majestic and it couldn't happen to a better guy or fan base. -

It sure sounds like Wilder is trying to come up with any reason he lost except that Fury out fought him.Comment

Biggest joke in the history of boxingComment

If Wilder really believes this he has nobody to blame but himself. It was his idea to wear the costume. No body forced him to wear it. He could have just come to the ring in a regular robe like all other boxers do instead of showing off with a weird costume. Be a professional and do thinks in a professional business like manner for the most important fight of his life.Comment

The excuse is BS, but just because you can do something in training doesn't mean you should/can do it in competition.
Floyd can spar 12 5 minutes rounds with different sparring partners cycling in and out. Doesn't mean he should fight to opponents back to back in a real fight.Comment

Facts....... Nobody is giving him a pass but the stuff people been saying makes zero since.Originally posted by bballchump11 View Post
Just cuz u train with added weight doesn't make sense to do it b4 going into a fight. Your suppose to be fresh same reason training camp slows down close to the fight.
I can tell which guys never boxed b4 from the ****** things they be saying.Comment
