Andre Ward reacts to Deontay Wilder blaming his costume for losing vs. Tyson Fury | Max on Boxing

why i mean you have it you have to grab something right i just dont think its the right thing to grab and i and i heard someone say this is probably a good time for

wilder

to go on vacation just take your time to think and process and not do interviews because he can say things now that he regrets later, you're right, it wasn't the 40 pound suit he had going into the ring that could have been a reason his legs weren't there, but no it was the reason why I think the 273 pounds of meat Tyson Fury had on him wore Deonte down, as well as the punches and everything else he had to deal with, here's the thing. when you train hard and you're in top shape you're in top shape you push yourself every day to exhaustion and then teach yourself to recover like you're in top shape i'm talking like a heavyweight the biggest fight of my life kind of shape i have trained like a spartan for ten weeks you push yourself to a point every day then your body learns to recover so between rounds after 30 and 45 seconds you should be able to get off that stool no matter how hard the round was previous and go out there and do whatever you have to do, the suit may have affected him to some degree but it shouldn't have affected him or had a result in the fight and I just don't think that's right how about a rematch?

Now people talk about a rematch, but when I watch this fight, I saw

fury

when he said fifty percent of himself. One thing about Tyson Fury is that he will tell you what he will do, how he will do it. and then he'll come out and do exactly that like at a certain point you have to take someone at their word to see if they're believable or not he said I was 50% myself when I fought Deonte the first time there was a good reason for that I thought he won like I think and now 17th it was Noah 12 19 rounds they boxed I think Tyson Fury is one between 14 and 17 of those rounds first as a boxer he won almost every round and got up from best punch earlier in the 12th round to bring him the fight and that's a mauler he won every round and hit him why would it be any different in a third fight? the only way Deonte agua can get in position to land the big right hand that made him famous and that's the only way I think he can beat Tyson Fury you said it before a lot of people have said it and I agree I agree that he can't beat Tyson Fury.

I'm just singing the praises of Tyson Fury, he has a track record of not only being a good fighter, not just being a tough guy when he needs to be, but he's also a great boxer for Dion to drink water for a long shot. putting yourself in a position to hit that shot is putting an end to excuses. I have seen this movie before. I've read this book where the beaters who built their reputations on fear and intimidation all of a sudden that cracked and the first. what they start groping for are excuses if it's not the coach it's this if it's not this it's that I've experienced that with the blows I was able to face and win he has to be the owner of this match he has to assume it he is he has to shut up, she has to sneak out in her bag and be really honest about what i did wrong and train ken i was outside listening i was training the right tea correctly it was a part of me that really started to believe my own exaggeration in my own headline thats the The only way you can rebuild and put yourself in that position because if it's everyone else's fault except Deontay Wilder, he doesn't stand a chance in the rematch and even if he does everything right, it's going to be very hard to be Tyson Fury Tyson, sir. , is much bigger than him, the first.

Deonte resumed the sport late. I want to meet him however be very clear about this because a couple of times I probably said he's a no he can't endorse. I think Deonte's box is better than giving Ashley credit it's not really a punch against Deonte the reason I don't want to see an immediate 3rd fight is for sure he always has a shot at a puncher even then we'll be in pins and needles early in that fight because that's how hard Deonte hits, but I think of him, I think of him more than a puncher looking to land a lucky shot, why would he reduce himself to that? again if you already think it's great I want to get to mark breeland mark greenland I throw in the towel we discussed it on the air and I've been criticized for this and by people who don't pay attention I guess I don't think so it was a bad save from Mark Breeland but I think there's a legitimate case that Deonte deserved the chance to keep fighting because JD's other trainer said he would have let him be number one, it's the world heavyweight championship, it's not a prelim. fight or a guy who is receiving five or ten thousand dollars and is taking a beating and has no chance of winning because he is not a puncher I believe even though it sounds barbaric one champion two undefeated heavyweight champions fighting with one title on the line that guy You have the right to take risks with your life that others don't on the altar of greatness, you have the right to check now.

I'm on the Greenland side but I think reasonable people can argue about it without the virtue signals coming out and yelling at them all so I agree with Breeland but I could see someone letting the fight go on a bit longer in his thoughts well you can always let a fight go on you know a bit more and that wasn't the first time deonte water was in trouble i think if we're all being honest about this

deontay

wilder

was literally with the wobbly legs for most of the fight and if you know

boxing

you have a feeling something was going to happen and imminent if Tyson Fury could land the right kind of punch that he couldn't land a couple of rounds before the stoppage , maybe the fifth round in the sixth round, he just couldn't get the shot right, you had a feeling he was getting ready to take that shot in the corner and I think it was a good stoppage now, let me say this about Deontay Wilder, he already checked heart box getting into the ring because it takes a lot of courage to step into a

boxing

ring.

There were several moments in that corner with Deontay Wilder. He seemed visibly beaten. He could have leaned on JD and said that the trainer stopped the fight. He did not do it. Do we know that Deontay Wilder has a heart? I drink water coming out of his shield. Deontay Wilder is knocked unconscious. We won't give Deontay Wilder any more credit for his heart than if he was stopped the way he did. he did we're even talking about a third fight right now because trainer mark breeland did what he was supposed to do imagine the max optics if

deontay

wilder gets knocked out to the face or left in a bunch in that corner you really i think a third fight would sell you really i think i will have water i would be in a position psychologically and mentally to make a man of money sad yes and he will get the fee for that the fact that we are even talking about this is credit to mark breeland we are in a sport where right is considered wrong and wrong is considered right Deontay Wilder dating the shield, I guarantee if you talk to former wrestlers who actually came out with their shields, talk to him five years from now, talk to him inside ten years old, you don't need those last two shots. they're here until you get mad as hell they're not talking about the same thing thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for more sports highlights and analysis be sure to download the ESPN app and for live streaming of sports and premium content subscribe to ESPN Plus
